In the build-up to their WWE WrestleMania 39 match, there had been speculation that WWE may throw in a retirement stipulation for Rey Mysterio when he steps inside the ring with his son, Domniki, at the event.
Prior to the match being announced for the show, WWE announced Mysterio would be the headliner for the 2023 Hall of Fame class, with the ceremony taking place the night before WrestleMania after SmackDown.
Some people thought it would be the best way for the legendary wrestler to go out with his son being the one to retire him. However, all signs point to Rey wrestling past WrestleMania.
While speaking with WESH 2 News, this was something Mysterio discussed.
“I’ve always had this number in mind and it just kept getting higher and higher every single time just because how great my body has been feeling and overall, how since my schedule slimmed down, I feel like this energetic person that loves to go in there and perform on a once-a-week basis. Just brings out a different type of energy. But, I had 5-0, 50 was the number that I said I was — I cannot and I don’t think I will go past it.
But to be able to be inducted and given such a prestige honor of being part of the Hall of Fame, it’s like the ultimate in your career. You always think that, hoping that one day when you retire, that offer is presented to you but here it is, you know? I’m in somewhat of the peak of my career maybe because I still feel great, I feel like I can compete on the level of other superstars but overall, it’s just a dream come true.”
