Rey Mysterio’s absence sparks dream match talk; WWE star eagerly waiting for his return (Exclusive)

WWE legend and Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio might face a challenge from an unlikely foe. Wrestling sensation Mr. Iguana recently expressed interest in facing the legend.

Mr. Iguana became an overnight sensation with the WWE Universe after his appearance at Worlds Collide. Since then, the star has been grabbing headlines on social media, with fans speculating about some dream matchups for the star on the WWE main roster.

During an exclusive chat with Sportskeeda senior editor Bill Apter, Mr. Iguana shared that he would love to face his idol, Rey Mysterio. Rey is currently nursing a groin injury that kept him out of WrestleMania 41. The star claimed he would also enjoy mixing it up with other luchadors like Penta and Andrade. The 36-year-old star also had major names such as CM Punk, John Cena, Sami Zayn, Jacob Fatu, and Shinsuke Nakamura on his radar.

"Well, right now, one of my favorites, Rey Mysterio Jr. will be because it means a lot. I would like to wrestle also some of my Mexican fellas like Penta, Andrade. I would be very good because of the same lucha." He added, "There's Cena, CM Punk. I'm watching Fatu, Sami Zayn, Nakamura. I mean, there's a lot of guys in the roster. But mainly, I think that I could fit every wrestling style. I watch a lot. I love wrestling. I love the art of grappling. I love Jiu Jitsu. I love everything can be related to a ring. I love it, so I'll see what happens." [From 2:30 onwards]

Mr. Iguana is currently one of the most unique characters in lucha libre. It will be interesting to see him get into the ring with a legend like Rey Mysterio.
