While speaking to Sportskeeda, Rey Mysterio talked about his ideal retirement match.
Mysterio & Dragon Lee vs. Santos Escobar & Dominik Mysterio will take place at tonight’s WWE WrestleMania 40. He said,
“That is a very good question, and [a] very hard one as well,” Rey Mysterio said. “I don’t think I have an opponent in mind, but if I had to put all my marbles on the line, I wouldn’t mind betting my mask against something big, something worth me winning for the very last time. I don’t know who that is. I mean, would Dom put his hair on the line? Mask versus hair? Why not? Yeah, that might be a great option.”
Rey Mysterio Discusses His Ideal Retirement Match
Rey Mysterio, one of the most iconic and beloved professional wrestlers of all time, recently opened up about his ideal retirement match. In an interview with Sportskeeda, Mysterio shared his thoughts on who he would like to face in his final bout and what stipulation he would be willing to put on the line.
Mysterio’s retirement match is set to take place at WWE WrestleMania 40, where he will team up with Dragon Lee to take on Santos Escobar and his own son, Dominik Mysterio. While this match promises to be an emotional and memorable affair, Mysterio pondered the question of who he would choose as his ultimate opponent if he had the chance.
“That is a very good question, and [a] very hard one as well,” Mysterio admitted. “I don’t think I have an opponent in mind, but if I had to put all my marbles on the line, I wouldn’t mind betting my mask against something big, something worth me winning for the very last time.”
Mysterio’s mask has become an iconic symbol throughout his career, representing his lucha libre heritage and adding an air of mystery and intrigue to his persona. The idea of putting his mask on the line for his retirement match is a significant one, as it would signify the ultimate sacrifice for Mysterio.
When asked about potential opponents, Mysterio mentioned the possibility of facing his own son, Dominik, in a mask versus hair match. This stipulation would see Mysterio risking his mask while Dominik puts his hair on the line. It would undoubtedly be a high-stakes match that would capture the attention of fans worldwide.
The concept of a mask versus hair match is not uncommon in professional wrestling and has been used in the past to create dramatic and memorable moments. The match stipulation adds an extra layer of intensity and personal investment for both competitors, as the loser would be forced to remove their mask or have their head shaved.
While Mysterio did not confirm whether this match would indeed be his retirement bout, the idea of a mask versus hair match against his own son is certainly intriguing. It would not only showcase the incredible talent and athleticism of both wrestlers but also provide a fitting end to Mysterio’s legendary career.
As fans eagerly await WrestleMania 40 and Mysterio’s retirement match, the speculation surrounding his opponent and the potential stipulations continues to grow. Regardless of who he ultimately faces, there is no doubt that Rey Mysterio’s retirement match will be a momentous occasion in the world of professional wrestling.
