Rey Mysterio will be in Buffalo for tonight’s RAW. It remains to be determined if Mysterio will be appearing on tonight’s RAW television broadcast. He may simply be meeting with officials to plot a return. The creative team is actively working on concepts to reintroduce him as a regular starting soon. It should be noted that there is no guarantee that Mysterio will return to WWE television, although it appears likely.
Mysterio has made it no secret that he is burned out and is looking to take a break from wrestling once his WWE contract expires this spring. Sources say he is interested in acting in Mexico as well as doing other no-wrestling projects.
A source said: “He’s been doing this for over 20 years and between the injuries and the mental burn out, he has no interest in AAA, Underground or re-upping with WWE.”

In a interview with the Liverpool Echo last week, Cesaro criticized the John Cena VS Randy Orton match.
Cesaro said: “It is a new era of guys. It’s a new generation, and it’s a lot of fun to watch that because there are fresh match-ups. I mean, I’m sick of seeing John Cena against Randy Orton for the 500th time. It’s great that we have some new, young guys that can come out and provide absolutely great match-ups and for the fans there are fresh, exciting matches and things to watch.”
The word behind-the-scene at the moment is that Cesaro is being punished for those comments. Since speaking to the paper, Cesaro was defeated clean by Dolph Ziggler in 2 straight falla at Hell In A Cell & then destroyed by Dean Ambrose the next night on RAW.
This would not be the first time a superstar has been punished for criticizing WWE creative in the public domain.
