There is speculation online that Rey Mysterio may be returning to WWE, at least on a part-time basis. On his podcast, former WCW star Konnan said that Mysterio is considering going back to WWE if he can get a reduced schedule.

Following Konnan’s statement, Dave Meltzer explained on Wrestling Observer Radio this weekend that AAA and Lucha Underground were banking on Alberto Del Rio and Rey Mysterio to be their big stars. With Del Rio returning to WWE, and Mysterio considering following suit, Meltzer feels this is very telling about the status of the companies. ProWrestlingSheet reports that Mysterio is currently in a dispute with AAA over money, and what he perceives as “shady business practices.” Mysterio hasn’t appeared for AAA since 2015 despite being under contract.

Adding to the speculation, Mysterio’s name has been mentioned on WWE programming several times in recent months. WWE.com did a feature on him, and JBL even gave him a shoutout during the Royal Rumble.

Back in August, Mysterio explained his willingness to return in an interview with Sports Illustrated.

“I didn’t leave on bad terms. I left on good terms with WWE, so I don’t want to say never,” Mysterio said. “They treated me very well, and I’m nothing but thankful with that company for letting Rey Mysterio be Rey Mysterio and be recognized worldwide. If the opportunity comes about in the future, and there is interest from both parties, then why not?”
