Rey Mysterio is a bonafide legend of the ring, but it is no secret that his career in wrestling is nearing its end. While speaking to Adrian Hernandez, Rey Mysterio was asked if he wanted to announce his retirement like John Cena.
“I would love to make an announcement. I would love for the fans who have grown up watching me and supported my career from day one—because there are still many around—to have the chance to say, ‘Hey, this is his last time performing. I want to go see it.’“
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. While Cena’s retirement will grant him more time to focus on Hollywood projects, Mysterio isn’t sure what’ll be next for him after he hanfs up his boots.
“I’ve always loved wrestling, and it’s the only thing I’ve ever done. So when I leave, I have to think about what’s next, how to transition, and how to be at peace with it.”
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.
