UPDATE: Here is the latest on Rey Mysterio and his ongoing discussions with WWE despite recently signing a deal with Aro Lucha. The Aro Lucha promotion announced on Saturday afternoon that Mysterio had joined the company as “a performer and co-owner”. Reports also surfaced over the weekend that Mysterio was still in “active negotiations” for a return to WWE.

In an update on this, multiple sources are saying that WWE is still moving ahead with negotiations to bring Mysterio back. Aro Lucha is offering fans a crowd-funded way to buy into the promotion. Mysterio’s co-ownership role looks to be a marketing move to entice fans to invest in the company the way Mysterio “has.”

There were some rumors that Mysterio was being discussed as a potential opponent for John Cena at WrestleMania, but Cena is still scheduled to face The Undertaker at the big pay-per-view event.

ORIGINAL: We reported over the weekend here on eWrestlingNews.com that former WWE Superstar Rey Mysterio had signed a deal with the Nashville-based wrestling promotion, Aro Lucha. Mysterio’s deal with the promotion is for both an in-ring talent and co-owner of the company. According to Dave Meltzer, Mysterio is still in talks with WWE despite signing with Aro Lucha.

Meltzer said, ‘He’s still in negotiations with WWE. I can tell you that factually right now. He’s in negotiations with WWE. He will be working Aro Lucha. I think he’s pretty much committed to working Aro Lucha tapings. He may stay with them. He may end up with ownership. He’s not an owner of the company right now. The idea of this, a lot of people look at this and go, ‘Oh he’s not going to WWE.’ He may not, but he’s absolutely in talks with them right now. Whatever the story is that broke today, that does not change that story.”

Filming for Aro Lucha is expected to begin in May or June.
