As we’ve noted, Seth Rollins attacked Rey Mysterio on Monday Night Raw, setting up an injury angle for Mysterio. According to a report from Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE did this because Mysterio has not yet signed a new deal with the company. His current status is unknown. There’s no guarantee that he’ll resign with WWE, but there’s no indication that he won’t’ either.
The current idea is, if he does resign, once he’s back, he’ll have a feud ready to go with Rollins. If not, they could always write him off TV the same way they did Matt Hardy. One key reason Mysterio may stick around is because he doesn’t want to upset anyone in WWE and affect the career of his son, Dominick. Mysterio has a “very high contract” with WWE right now, as they didn’t want him to go back to New Japan, which he was starting to do when he came back.
Given there was no AEW at that time either, Mysterio signed an 18-month deal with WWE. With WWE not giving any raises during the current pandemic, this could stall negotiations a bit.
