Rey Mysterio has been a crucial part of WWE's tag team division for the past year. The partnership with his son Dominik has led to success, with the team becoming the first father-son duo to win tag team gold in WWE. This is not the first time that Mysterio has been to the mountaintop with another competitor.
The masked star has well-established friendships with a few titans of the industry. Often, these kinships with Mysterio led to tag team glory. The dynamic with each tag team brings a different style that seems to work well with the luchador.
Many fans have speculated that Rey's current team with Dominik may be ending. A retirement match against his son seems like the ideal way for Mysterio to close out his legendary career. If this run is nearing the end, it's the perfect time to look back on Mysterio's memorable career. In this article, let's look at five superstars Rey Mysterio has teamed up with.
5. Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara
Mysterio had a few random partnerships that didn't amount to much. He teamed up with the likes of The Big Show and Evan Bourne without a substantial feud or title match. In 2013, his tag team with Sin Cara had plenty of fans excited.
At that point in WWE, there hadn't been a masked tag team in several years. Mysterio's high-flying expertise matched by Sin Cara's breathtaking style made for a wonderful blend. The duo appeared at several live events and on WWE TV. However, injuries resulted in the team not achieving much and a short stint.
Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara were Lucha House Party before Lucha House Party. They could have been the lead babyface duo in WWE. Their high-flying skills on display had potential but weren't meant to be.
4. Rey Mysterio & Rob Van Dam
Rey Mysterio and Rob Van Dam are two of the greatest high flyers in WWE history. At the end of 2004, the two teamed up to find tag team success. It instantly worked and made complete sense. Fans loved them and wanted them to have a long future.
Mysterio & RVD defeated Kenzo Suzuki & Rene Dupree to win the tag team titles on SmackDown (December 7, 2004). This should've been a long run for the team, but they lost the titles a month later to The Basham Brothers. Van Dam was injured and would be out of action for over a year.
3. Rey Mysterio & Edge
In 2002, SmackDown General Manager Stephanie McMahon introduced the WWE Tag Team Championships to the brand. The tournament finals saw the duo of Kurt Angle & Chris Benoit vs. the fan favorites of Edge & Mysterio. The babyfaces came up short in an excellent encounter, but this wasn't the end.
A few weeks later, Edge & Mysterio defeated Angle & Benoit in a Two Out of Three Falls Match to win the tag team championships. These two incredible bouts firmly established the new titles. At Survivor Series 2002, Edge & Mysterio lost the gold to Los Guerreros in a Triple Threat Match (also featuring Benoit & Angle).
2. Rey Mysterio & Batista
Following Eddie Guerrero's tragic death, Rey Mysterio formed a bond with the then-World Heavyweight Champion Batista. The two men both loved Eddie and wanted to honor him. They did just that a month after his death by defeating MNM and winning the WWE Tag Team Championships.
The duo lost their titles two weeks later to MNM but remained friends for years. They eventually got another shot at the gold in 2009 when they faced Jeri-Show at Hell In A Cell. Batista and Rey came up short and eventually split when The Animal destroyed his former friend.
1. Rey Mysterio & Eddie Guerrero
Eddie Guerrero is a central figure in the life and career of Mysterio. The two all-time greats formed a friendship during their early years in the industry from their mutual backgrounds from legendary Mexican wrestling families. Their friendship transformed into a brotherhood as they grew together in ECW and WCW.
Their classic matches in the latter put their names on the map. In WWE, their interactions were limited to tag teams and multi-man matches early on. Rey and Eddie first formed a tag team for the company in 2005 when they defeated The Basham Brothers to win the WWE Tag Team Championships. However, this seemed like it was part of a bigger story.
The two superstars became the first WWE Tag Team Champions to face each other at WrestleMania. Rey beat Eddie and this started a slow, steady breakdown for Guerrero. This crack in their team led to MNM defeating the duo to win the gold.
A loss in a rematch was followed by Eddie betraying Rey and ending their partnership. For pure chemistry, this is easily the best tag team that Mysterio has ever been a part of. That's why Eddie Guerrero is the biggest WWE superstar that Rey Mysterio has teamed up with.
