WWE: Rey Mysterio signs new deal?

Rey Mysterio

The future of Rey Mysterio has been in the balance for some time but that seems to have been settled. Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that the Mysterio has signed a new deal with WWE despite having an interesting offer on the table from AEW.

Dave Meltzer reported that AEW were keen on getting Mysterio but he was offered a better deal by WWE and thus he decided to stay with the company. However, they claim that it is not a long-term deal but is slightly longer than his previous reported 18-month contract:

I can’t confirm pen to paper, but Rey Mysterio is staying, as was always the betting line outcome of this, but it’s as close to official without confirmation of it being official, and obviously Dominik is a big part of that deal. AEW made an offer that equaled the WWE’s per-match offer, but the WWE offer was higher because it was for more dates. We don’t have a time frame past this new deal would be considerably longer than the previous (18 months) deal but not the five-years or longer deals that WWE has tried to get everyone on.
