Rey Mysterio WWE Negotiations Update

As noted before, WWE has been in talks with Rey Mysterio throughout this year about a possible return to the company within the near future. Mysterio revealed in an interview earlier this year that he is looking for a deal in the range of three years.

A recent episode of The Jim Ross Report had Mysterio as the guest and one of the topics discussed involved the current status of his negotiations with WWE.

“We started off with an anonymous call in January [about] coming back for the [Royal] Rumble, which was a big surprise to the fans because every time I go to a signing they say, ‘damn, Rey, I did not expect to see you there,’ so I guess that started off the whole conversation about possibly making a return.

We’re still in the mix of it. We’ve been going back and forth, talking about possibly returning this month and then this month, so the longer it extends, the more I get work outside. That’s my bread and butter. That’s what I do for a living. I’m just waiting for them to say, ‘now’. When they say, ‘now,’ if the time is right, let’s go!”
