Major WWE Creative Team Meeting Yesterday – Mysterio

Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter

WWE officials held a meeting yesterday concerning Rey Mysterio’s recent actions and how he will be creatively handled on television.

As noted, there was much internal heat on Mysterio for his Spanish-language interview with The Record in Mexico over the weekend. He did not get the interview approved ahead of time, which is standard company protocol. There was talk that if they didn’t punish him, fellow talent could follow suit and bury the company in the future. Back in the WCW days, talent would frequently bury the company without consequence. Unlike WCW, WWE prefers not opening themselves up to that, hence the need for interviews to be approved of.

Whether Mysterio thought he could do a Spanish-language interview to explain himself to fans and potential sponsors in Mexico without it ever reaching the United States remains unknown.

Regarding creative plans for Mysterio dropping the Intercontinental title at tomorrow night’s SmackDown taping, Vince McMahon wanted all potential options evaluated. More than likely, it will not be as simple as Dolph Ziggler beating him in a singles match. In fact, because that is the “expected result,” you should expect something different to take place on this week’s show. However, it likely won’t be different enough for it to result in Mysterio not dropping the title.

Mysterio is hopeful he can get his suspension overturned when he discusses the situation with management tomorrow.
