The Royal Rumble pay-per-view was one of the most exciting WWE events in quite some time, and both the men’s and women’s Royal Rumble matches featured some big surprise returns.
Rey Mysterio was one of the names who made an appearance in the men’s match, and now everyone’s wondering if he’ll be returning to WWE in the near future. Rey recently spoke to The Mirror, and according to him there’s a good chance he’ll be back.
“I want to say that there is a big possibility that I will be back. [We’re] figuring out what the situation is, you know from both ends. But there is definitely a positive feedback on behalf of the fans, on behalf of the WWE staff and behalf of myself man. I think we’re possibly going to sit down and negotiate something where we can both work together and have a good time and enjoy.”
Mysterio has been lucky to have a long career in the ring, but while talking about the reception he received at the Royal Rumble, he acknowledged that now a whole new generation of fans are discovering what he can do.
“It’s been incredible. I have nothing to say but to thank the fans for their loyalty, for their respect, for being a Rey Mysterio fan from day one… and for all those fans that have never seen me on TV, because this is a new generation of fans that are watching the WWE. So to all the new fans that have heard about Rey Mysterio, or played as me in a video game, or seen me on the Network, for the first time if you got the chance to see me at the Royal Rumble, thank you very much for being part of it as a fan.”
