Rey Mysterio has started wearing his iconic throwback gear

Recently, the Master of 619 has made a big change to his in-ring attire, bringing back his classic baggy pants. Also, fans noticed that the Hall of Famer has been wearing his classic attire two weeks in a row now.

This appears to be a tribute to Rey’s own career, and many feel it’s a signal that Mysterio could be retiring soon from the squared circle.

Usually, wrestlers pull such moves for a high-profile match, but the veteran doing this on Monday Night RAW for normal matches raises suspicion about his in-ring future.

He is working as the General Manager of AAA

Recently, the AAA promotion got global attention from wrestling fans after the Mask vs. Mask match between Original El Grande Americano and El Grande Americano.

Back on May 23, 2026, the promotion revealed that Rey Mysterio would serve as the general manager for AAA. The Master of 619 got a massive pop from the live crowd after this role announcement.

Meanwhile, the WWE legend’s adoption of a non-wrestling role is clearly another sign that he is slowly inching towards his retirement. It appears that he will retire from the squared circle soon and immediately become a full-time part of the Lucha Libre promotion.

WWE is teasing Dominik Mysterio vs Rey Mysterio in one more match

The story of Rey Mysterio vs Dominik Mysterio is still unfinished in the Stamford-based promotion. There is a major belief that whenever Rey retires, he will compete against his real-life son in the final match.

Recently, WWE teased another match between the current AAA Mega Champion and Rey Mysterio. In a recent conversation, The Judgment Day member affirmed that he still doesn’t like his father and believes that he should retire.

Moreover, Dom Dom asserted that he had accomplished things that the Hall of Famer had never achieved.

“Yeah, I don’t like him. He needs to retire. He’s dragging the Mysterio name down, and the greatest Mysterio of all time is right here in front of you, you know, I’ve done things he’s never done. You know, your AAA Mega Càmpion, things in the WWE that he’ll never accomplish. So I’m just, I’m excited that the Italian fans will finally get a new perspective on the Mysterio name,” said Dominik Mysterio

With Rey now the AAA General Manager, the father-son duo is expected to come face-to-face soon. This is another major sign that Rey Mysterio is on the horizon to retire. Rest, it remains to be seen how the storyline moves forward.

As of writing, Rey Mysterio is set to compete against Penta in a dream match for the Intercontinental Championship. Adam Pearce has made the title bout official on WWE RAW after Clash in Italy 2026. If Rey wins the mid-card title, it could be a final run for him as the Champion.
