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.
