Rey Mysterio wants to repeat history and win the Royal Rumble for Eddie Guerrero.
Mysterio won the 2006 Royal Rumble, which came just a few months after his close friend Eddie Guerrero passed away. He went on to win the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE WrestleMania 22.
Speaking at WWE Royal Rumble Kickoff, Rey Mysterio commented on competing in the Men’s Royal Rumble. He made it clear that he wanted to win the match and do it for Eddie Guerrero.
“I feel [like I’m in] great physical shape,” Rey Mysterio said. “I want to repeat history, and I want to do it for that friend that we all know. [Fans chant for Eddie Guerrero]. If that energy from Eddie does not fill me up tomorrow, I don’t know what will, and your energy as well. So let’s repeat history tomorrow night.”
Dominik Mysterio On Rey Mysterio’s Win
Dominik Mysterio recently discussed Rey Mysterio’s Royal Rumble win while speaking on The Babyfaces Podcast.
“Yeah, I love the Rumble. It’s one of those things where you really never know who’s gonna come next, so it really is a surprise,” Dominik said. “But for me, one of my favorite Rumbles is when my deadbeat [dad] unfortunately won. I was a big Randy Orton, so I thought Randy was gonna take it, and then deadbeat just comes in and ruins it.
“But shoutout to Triple H too, pulling him out, being a sore loser, throwing him against the steps,” Dominik Mysterio continued. “I thought that was pretty cool. I was like, alright, this is a done deal. Randy’s got it in the bag. But no. But anyways, I’m excited for the Rumble, man. The Rumble’s been one of my favorite pay-per-views of all time, for sure.”
