Rumors are once again starting to circulate about Rey Mysterio returning to WWE. Dave Meltzer of The Observer mentioned Mysterio returning to WWE by September 2018 and that has helped add fuel to the fire, that Mysterio will make his return at the major event in September, Hell In A Cell.
There is a chance this could happen, but there is also a chance it won't happen at Hell In A Cell. The following are some reasons why Mysterio won't make his return to the WWE at Hell In A Cell.
#1 More likely to return in Australia
Similar to the WWE's event in Saudi Arabia, The Greatest Royal Rumble, in the upcoming event in Australia, WWE Super Show-Down there is the possibility of a strong nostalgic angle/match. At The Greatest Royal Rumble, there were matches featuring legends like Triple H and The Undertaker, along with other legends appearing in the 50 man Royal Rumble.
This time around we've once again got Triple H and Undertaker appearing, this time as opponents, and if the WWE sticks to the formula used in Saudi Arabia, the likelihood of WWE adding more to the nostalgic appeal of the event by having wrestlers like Rey Mysterio return makes more sense than a random surprise return at Hell In A Cell.
#2 Was just at All In
Rey Mysterio was in one of the three main events at All In. More than just an appearance or random match on the card, outside of the Bullet Club Elite members, Rey Mysterio was one of the highly anticipated performers for All In and his appearance was used as a promotional tool (even though it wasn't needed to sell tickets).
Rumors of Mysterio returning to the WWE have been circulating for over a year and it is safe to say negotiations between Mysterio and WWE have likely been happening, but it might also be safe to say that an appearance at a significant event like All In, could be prolonging those talks, pushing back a potential return date.
#3 It doesn't make sense
Why would Rey Mysterio return at Hell In A Cell? Sure, the WWE has done some pretty random stuff recently. Kevin Owens quitting then reappearing a week later; Braun Strowman turning heel and partnering with Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre.
But even those events you can explain. Rey Mysterio showing up at Hell In A Cell, there's no reason for him to. Hell In The Cell wasn't a match Mysterio was famous for--Sure it might come across as a surprise, but why waste it at an event that already has a lot going on.
Some rumors about Mysterio's return include a potential run with Randy Orton, but with Orton already booked in a match with Jeff Hardy which promises to have some pretty extreme moments, adding Rey Mysterio in any capacity would feel out of place. If they want to have an impact with the return of Rey Mysterio, then the WWE needs to not only properly hype up the return, but have a reason for the fans to want to see it.
