He has continued to evolve his wrestling style and over the years made subtle changes to his arsenal in the ring. One move that he quietly phased out is his signature diving seated senton after the 619.

Recently, speaking to Chicos Tóxicos, Rey Mysterio revealed why he stopped doing the signature move. He said he can do it with people he trusts in the ring and said the last time he did it was four years ago in WWE.

“I tell you what, I do it with people that I can certainly trust. The last time I did it was probably when Andrade was wrestling for WWE, so four years ago,” he said.

The Master of 619 said that the reason he stopped doing the move is that if it doesn’t land properly, his knees take a hit. He said this was the reason behind his ACL tear.

“That move is what got the surgery. Every time I would land, if I wasn’t guided properly, I would land, and then my knee would give in. So that’s what caused the ACL to tear,” he added.

Rey Mysterio made a blockbuster Roman Reigns announcement

This week on RAW, the closing segment saw Rey Mysterio meet Roman Reigns backstage. Mysterio reminded OTC1 that, as the AAA general manager, he has something to discuss with him.

Rey Mysterio then made an announcement that there will be a tournament consisting of the best luchadores from RAW, SmackDown, and AAA to determine who will challenge Reigns for the World Heavyweight Title.

Since then, WWE has revealed the bracket for the tournament. On the August 10 RAW show, Penta will face Laredo Kid, while La Park and Psycho Clown will take on each other at the AAA event on August 15.

The last two first-round matches take place on the August 17 episode of RAW. Dragon Lee goes up against AAA star El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr., and Rey Fenix faces El Fiscal.

The winner of the tournament will compete against Reigns for the World Title on the September 14 RAW in Mexico City.
