#3 Rey Mysterio

Rey Mysterio

How does the prospect of a battle between two Latino Superstars Rey Mysterio and Cain Velasquez sound? Booking Velasquez against 'Mr. 619' will surely give creative a lot to work with, as both men have similar backgrounds.

WWE did something similar with Alberto Del Rio upon his debut with the company. The 'Mexican Aristocrat' was booked in a feud against Rey Mysterio simply because of their Hispanic background. Velasquez is a massive name in the world of MMA, while Rey Mysterio is a future WWE Hall of Famer. A clash between the two would certainly be eagerly anticipated by both the UFC and WWE fan bases.

Despite the size disparity, fans will believe in the match simply because Mysterio has been the underdog his entire life. As for Velasquez, it will be an honor for him to face one of the greatest stars in wrestling history.
