WWE Rumor Roundup: RAW Superstar could be out for 6 months, Former champion to leave in 6 weeks and more – 29 January 2020

Rey Mysterio picks his WWE successor

Rey Mysterio is set to retire from WWE soon and he has now named Ricochet as his successor. He was talking to BT Sport when he claimed that the former NXT North American champion has what it takes to be the next Rey Mysterio. He said:

“He was actually one of the first superstars that really impressed me. Again, when you’re in this world, and you come home, the last thing you want to do is watch wrestling or hear about other wrestlers. And I secluded myself very well. I was home for two or three days a week, and it was family time, specifically. But there comes a point where you gotta make sure you see your competition, who is up and coming? And he was one of the guys that really stood out to me, and he’s been doing incredible, man. I personally feel he is the next Rey Mysterio.” [H/T 411Mania]

Mysterio is reportedly looking to retire soon but wants to share the ring with his son before calling time on his career.
