5 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 5 we hope aren't: Popular RAW star at risk of losing his job, WWE building top SmackDown star for a major title win?

#2. Hope is true: Rey Mysterio's WWE future

We're aware that for nearly a month now, we've had a rumor about Rey Mysterio's WWE status. However, we feel obligated to and until he officially signs a new WWE contract, we'll likely continue to give more updates.

Dave Meltzer of WON said on the radio show that Rey Mysterio is staying with WWE despite AEW matching their offer:

I can’t confirm pen to paper, but Rey Mysterio is staying, as was always the betting line outcome of this, but it’s as close to official without confirmation of it being official, and obviously Dominik is a big part of that deal. AEW made an offer that equaled the WWE’s per-match offer, but the WWE offer was higher because it was for more dates. We don’t have a time frame past this new deal would be considerably longer than the previous (18 months) deal but not the five-years or longer deals that WWE has tried to get everyone on

We hope this is true so that Rey Mysterio can return and help his son Dominik as he's set to make his in-ring debut at SummerSlam 2020 against Seth Rollins.
