Dave Meltzer reports in the latest edition of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the inside WWE speculation regarding Rey Mysterio is that he will re-sign with the company.
Meltzer notes that most expect Mysterio to re-sign in 2019 or possibly even this year.
Mysterio is expected to sign a part-time deal that Meltzer describes as, “a deal like Jericho where he’s with the company for a portion of time, and then has time off for his own projects or to work elsewhere.”
Meltzer goes on to say that Jericho’s return to pro wrestling for NJPW, instead of WWE, may give WWE caution when it comes to making a similar deal with Mysterio.
