Report: Rey Mysterio Signs New WWE Deal, Low Ki’s WWE Future

» Rey Mysterio, 34, has agreed to all terms on a new contract, but it has yet to be confirmed if he has officially signed the deal. Mysterio has agreed to terms for a three-year deal with a two-year option. His current contract with WWE was set to expire soon. It actually would have expired already, but the company extended it due to all the time he missed as a result of his various injuries. The standard WWE contract allows the company to extend it in the event of long hiatus.

» Low Ki signed his deal with WWE right after he dropped the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Title at the 1/4 New Japan event at the Tokyo Dome reports The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. He started immediately with WWE at the Florida Championship Wrestling event on January 8 where he was billed as “Kawal.” Original plans were to bring him in as a heel rival for Rey Mysterio so that Mysterio could work with someone closer to his size. It remains to be seen if those plans are still scheduled to take place. He had his tryout match with WWE on November 4, 2007 in Orlando, FL.
