Rey Mysterio is an American professional wrestler. He is widely regarded as the greatest high-flying professional wrestler in the history of professional wrestling. He made his professional wrestling debut in the WCW in 1996, where he immediately became the face of the Cruiserweight Division.
One of the most talked-about moments in Mysterio’s career happened in 1999, when he faced Kevin Nash in a “Mask vs Hair” match. Mysterio lost this match and had to remove his mask, which was considered a huge violation in the Lucha tradition. Mysterio has often talked about this match, calling this match as the lowest point of his career.
He made his debut in the WWE on SmackDown in 2002, where, unlike WCW, WWE allowed him to put his mask back on. Mysterio reached the peak of his WWE career when he won the 2006 Royal Rumble. Mysterio quickly became one of the biggest superstars in the company and captured every major title in the company, becoming a grand slam champion.
Despite being a top star, Mysterio’s career suffered a major setback due to chronic knee injuries. He underwent multiple surgeries, and he eventually left WWE in 2015 to return to the independent circuit and AAA in Mexico.
Mysterio made his shocking return to the WWE at the 2018 Royal Rumble. Since then, he has been in the best physical shape of his life. During this run, Mysterio went on to have a feud with his son, which was one of the best feuds of Rey Mysterio’s entire career. Mysterio officially faced his son, Dominik, at WrestleMania 39, where he defeated his son with an assist from Bad Bunny.
