What's the latest on Rey's position in the company?
- Rey Mysterio's WWE future is reportedly in question. As previously reported, Mysterio suffered another knee injury recently, though it will not require surgery due to a brace and he has said he's "on a mission" to rehab it. Due to Mysterio's physical deteroration and the two strikes against him from WWE's Wellness Policy, his regular days with the company are believed to be behind him and there is debate within the company on whether they should take a chance and try to get the most ouf ot him.
Currently WWE is trying to get other Latin American stars to the next level, namely Alberto Del Rio and Sin Cara. However, Cara has had problems acheiving any success in the company due to his language barrier and his botches in the ring while Del Rio's babyface run hasn't hit the level WWE has hoped, particularly since he's feuding with an out-and-out heel in Jack Swagger. Because Mysterio gives the company a massive merchandise benefit and can still deliver when he's healthy, WWE is giving him some time to get healthy for another run.
