Rey Mysterio recently made an appearance on the After The Bell with Corey Graves podcast to discuss a wide range of topics.
During the podcast, Rey noted that it was his son, Dominik Mysterio, who talked him out of retiring from wrestling in 2019. Rey said,
“I mean at one point when I first came back [to WWE], I was actually feuding with Samoa Joe and I remember that’s when I really wanted to hang up the mask and retire. As weird as it sounds, Dominik convinced me not to and told me to stay. I just felt like I was falling behind with all this young talent opening up a path… but I stayed and I committed to putting in the work and it’s been incredible ever since. Yeah, I was really having doubts and I was like ‘Maybe it is time to step back and let this new generation come in and do their thing.’ But I think shortly after, I went to get some Stem Cells and I came back and I was ready to go.”
