There has been a lot of talk about Rey Mysterio’s future with WWE. Mysterio’s WWE contract expires in 3 months & with him no longer being a top Superstar, some believe he is preparing to finish this run as his last with the company.

There is some speculation that Mysterio could end up on the new AAA TV show that debuts on the El Rey Network this fall. Konnan, who remains close to Mysterio, will play a big part on the new AAA TV show. That show is scheduled to start taping in Los Angeles this August.

Ed’s Perspective : It’s Time To Rumble

Without a doubt, The Royal Rumble is my favorite match each year.

As I put together the information in this post, I did one thing very intentional, and that was not look at any of the so called experts and their predictions.

This is a DTRT exclusive article with most of the factual information coming from WWE.com.

Beginning in 1988, on national TV and not PPV, the brainchild of WWE Hall of Famer Pat Patterson had it’s debut.

Since then, 753 entrants have taken part in what this year will be the 27th annual event. An amazing 455,107 fans have attended the previous Rumbles.

I can’t speak for the other 455,106, but I had an awesome time watching Sheamus win the 2012 version live in St. Louis.

A couple of other interesting bits of Rumble history: HBK has a record 39 eliminations. That is followed closely by Kane with 37 eliminations in his 14 different Rumble matches, and an amazing 11 in 2001 match alone.

For the CM Punk fans who might be depressed by his #1 slot, Rey Mysterio lasted an astonishing 62 minutes and 12 seconds and HBK won the 1995 Rumble from the #1 position.

So, print your scorecard now , look at the following list, check out the predictions of the DTRT staff at the end, and

Let’s Get Ready to Rumble!

As of the Jan. 20 edition of Raw, the following Superstars have been announced as official entrants in this year’s 30-Superstar Royal Rumble Match:

Batista
CM Punk (Director of Operations Kane declared Punk will enter the match at No. 1)
Alberto Del Rio
Big E Langston
The Miz
R-Truth
Xavier Woods
Kofi Kingston
Cody Rhodes
Goldust
Rey Mysterio
Fandango
Roman Reigns
Seth Rollins
Dean Ambrose
Erick Rowan
Luke Harper
Damien Sandow
Jimmy Uso
Jey Uso

Exclusive DTRT staff predictions:

John – Batista

Vanessa – CM Punk

I really hope Daniel Bryan pulls double duty cuz if so I’ll pull for him. If not I pick punk..

Trevor – Batista*

I say Batista only because of his current WWE deal puts him in a position to be in the spotlight. Do I think he deserves it? No, he came in last week and now most likely to main event Wrestlemania. This is one time I really hope my prediction is wrong.

Ed – Roman Reigns

All indications point to Batista, so I’m hoping that the creative minds go with someone who has earned the shot to headline Wrestlemania 30.

Rey Has A Concussion

Mysterio diagnosed with concussion

WWE.com has learned that Rey Mysterio suffered a concussion at the hands of The Miz this past Sunday at SummerSlam. (RESULTS)

According to one backstage source, WWE personnel “suspected [a concussion] because he hit his head.” The following day, precautionary impact testing was conducted and “showed that [Mysterio] is below baseline, which means he sustained some sort of concussion,” the source explained.

WWE.com has confirmed that the San Diego native is not medically cleared to compete at this time. Mysterio did not appear on last Monday’s Raw, and has been removed from all events at least through this coming weekend. (MYSTERIO’S SUPERSTAR PROFILE)

During The Awesome One’s successful Intercontinental Title defense at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles last Sunday, the champion executed a brutal sit-down powerbomb. The maneuver snapped Mysterio’s head against the canvas, which likely caused the trauma and no doubt paved the way for The Miz’s victory. The self-proclaimed “Most Must-See Champion in WWE History” has had his awesomeness questioned in recent months, but The Miz reasserted himself with this dominance over the 619 specialist.

According to WWE physician Michael Sampson, Mysterio “had the first [test] on Monday, which showed us that he was below baseline. The physical exam was normal, but neuropsych testing was below normal. That’s the beauty of neuropsych testing,” he explained. “Based on reaction time and memory, we can measure on a computer, and he was below his baseline. That saves [Mysterio] from causing further injury from the concussion.”

It was also confirmed that Mysterio will not return to in-ring action until he is at baseline and passes an exertion test. To be determined at baseline, Mysterio must pass the aforementioned impact/neuropsych test later in the week. Only then will he be permitted to undergo exertion testing.

WWE.com’s source estimated that the former WWE Champion “will probably be taking [the impact test today] if he’s still symptom-free, or later on this week.”
