Rey's retirment is "a lot closer now than it was yesterday" and the WWE Hall of Famer wants to "mentally prepare myself" for when that time comes.

Mysterio has in the past alluded to being retired by the time he's 50, which the former WWE World Champion now is. Though Rey has yet to give a confirmed date for the end of his career, it's clear that fans should enjoy the masked legend in the ring while they still can.
