WWE has been trying to lock down talents over the last few years, and now it seems that one of the company’s top stars will be sticking with World Wrestling Entertainment.
Sports Illustrated has confirmed that Rey Mysterio has signed a new deal with WWE. The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Mysterio confirmed that he plans to continue wrestling.
“We never made the signing of my new deal public, but there is definitely going to be more time to see Rey Mysterio in WWE. I’m going to keep wrestling, at least until Father Time catches up and says, ‘It’s time to go.’”
The former WWE Champion also noted that the opportunity to work with his son Dominik also played a big role in him signing a new deal with WWE.
“I am so happy to see my son Dominik doing so well, and it means so much to me to be with him in WWE. When I left WWE [in 2015], I was tired, I was beat and I was going through a phase in my life where I just needed some time off. That time away recharged my batteries. During that period, I was given time to think about what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I sat down with my wife and my kids, and we ultimately made the decision together that it was time for me to come back to WWE. I am thankful for that opportunity because I knew my son wanted to be part of this industry, and I wanted to reopen the door for Dominik to eventually get a foot in the business. WWE has treated me like I had never left, and I am so grateful and truly blessed for that. I’m under WWE’s wings once again, and they’ve seen such potential in Dominik and such a bright future for him.”
