WWE RAW: 5 reasons why Rey Mysterio is retiring next week

#1 It's not an actual retirement

The host of the retirement ceremony

As we were writing this, we learned that the "host" of Rey Mysterio's retirement ceremony will be none other than the man to seemingly retire him - Seth Rollins. While Rollins and Mysterio have crossed paths before earlier this year, we can't help but feel that this is all going to lead to a major high-stakes PPV match-up.

While the segment may start with a Mysterio retirement announcement, there's a very high possibility of it ending with a fake retirement and Mysterio's return. Ultimately, the goal of this seems to be a Rollins vs Mysterio match-up, even if Aleister Black has a prominent role.

Aleister Black vs Seth Rollins seems to be a good direction as well, but it might have to wait for another couple of months. This also means that Black could end up being a side character along with Humberto Carrillo.

Either way, we're quite convinced that the retirement is a work and that Mysterio will lay the smackdown on Seth Rollins.
