WWE legend Rey Mysterio shares heartbreaking personal update

WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio recently took to social media to share a heartbreaking personal update. The Master of 619 also sent an emotional message in his post.

Rey Mysterio hasn't stepped inside the squared circle for a match since April 2025. After he recently returned to WWE TV to confront Dominik Mysterio, many believed the Triple H-led creative team would book a match between the father-son duo for the Intercontinental Championship. However, on last week's RAW, Dirty Dom dropped the title to John Cena.

Rey and Dominik could still lock horns outside the Stamford-based promotion, as The Judgment Day star currently holds the AAA Mega Championship, and The Master of 619 has been regularly making appearances in AAA.

Amid his in-ring absence, Rey Mysterio took to Instagram to share several photos of his family, including his late father, who died a year ago. In the post's caption, the former WWE Champion sent a heartbreaking message, writing that he still couldn't come to grips with his father's passing and he missed him every day.

Tommy Carlucci wants Rey Mysterio to retire WWE legend John Cena

During an edition of Behind The Turnbuckle Studios' The Coach & Bro Show, Tommy Carlucci said that he wanted Rey Mysterio to face John Cena in the latter's final match at Saturday Night's Main Event on December 13, 2025.

Carlucci believes that a potential clash between the two WWE legends could get fans excited.

"Personally, I think him [John Cena] and Rey Mysterio can have a great match. Rey is a Hall of Famer. They've had history before. And by the way, that name pops. I mean, when you tell me my last match is Cena and Rey Mysterio, that makes me say, 'Holy s**t again, what are they going to do?" Carlucci said.

It remains to be seen what the Triple H-led creative team has planned for Rey Mysterio's future.
