Rey Mysterio is scheduled to return to WWE programming on the upcoming SmackDown 1000 special, according to PWInsider. The historic show takes place on Tuesday, October 16th from Washington D.C. at the Capitol One Arena.
As noted last week, Mysterio recently signed a new 2-year deal with WWE. The agreement reportedly includes a stipulation that he can ‘give notice’ to the company at the 18-month mark.
Mysterio has made a few appearances for WWE this year. He made a surprise appearance in the Royal Rumble in January He was also at April’s Greatest Royal Rumble from Saudi Arabia in April. He is featured as a pre-order bonus character for the upcoming WWE 2K19 video game that comes out this month.
Mysterio has also made appearances on several non-WWE shows this year, including New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Dominion event in June and All In on September 1st.
WWE is stacking the deck for the SmackDown 1000 show. In addition to an appearance by The Undertaker, WWE confirmed last week that Batista and Ric Flair are returning for a reunion of the popular Evolution faction from the early 2000’s.
Just last month, WWE started teasing several dream matches involving big names which included Mysterio vs. WWE Champion AJ Styles. With Mysterio returning on SmackDown, it could indicate that he’ll be on the blue brand, but that remains to be seen as WWE could just want a big surprise and that’s why he’s appearing on this special episode.
