Now, an update has emerged corroborating the initial report.

According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it’s believed a retirement tour involving Rey Mysterio next year is “quite possible”.

Mysterio has over 35 years of in-ring experience, competing across some of the biggest promotions in the world during his career. In WWE, the 51-year-old has earned a total of three world championships, while being one of the biggest fan-favourites of all time. Having left an impact on generations for fans, many viewers will be disappointed when the time comes for him to call it a career, but, going off his performances, the star isn’t showing signs of showing down.

Most recently, Mysterio took part in a stellar triple threat match with Chad Gable and Dragon Lee over the Intercontinental Championship, showing his intent to rack up more success before the curtain falls. Plus, a few months ago, the masked legend said “never say never” with regard to another world title run. You can read more about that here.

As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on Rey Mysterio’s possible retirement as soon as we hear more.
