WWE RAW: 5 big backstage rumors that could have a major impact - Superstar to eliminate Lesnar at Royal Rumble revealed, 3-time World Champion to retire soon (13th January)

#2 Rey Mysterio to retire at WrestleMania 36?

Rey Mysterio

3-time World Champion Rey Mysterio had talked about hanging up his boots not long back but was 'convinced' by his son to continue with his career and refrain from retiring. However, as per Tom Colohue, there has been some backstage talk on Rey Mysterio wrapping up his career soon - possibly at WrestleMania 36.

The finish with the mask is very telling because as we know masks are very important in that culture but as part of wrestling, you always go out on your back and masks being taken off is certainly a way to do that. So this could be leading towards that but it’s also sure that Rey Mysterio is wrapping up. I don’t think we are far off seeing a retirement angle coming to play.

I’m starting to hear that WrestleMania may be his last hurrah but I think he definitely wants to see Dominick wrestle either alongside him or be in his corner for a match before he goes.

If Mysterio is indeed planning to retire soon, he is sure to continue to give Andrade a rub on RAW so that he can become the next big Mexican star.
