"That was definitely up to destiny," he said. Although they switched shows, they remained a unit and weren't picked separately, which Rey considered a legitimate possibility given the tension that has been teased between them as of late. Thankfully, that wasn't the case with the Mysterios. Regardless of the circumstances and who the champions are, the company loves splitting Superstars up for no reason. It isn't uncommon for friends, partners and allies to be split up in the WWE draft each year. Obviously, we became the first father-and-son tag team champions and that's in our rearview mirror right now, but we're hoping to get an opportunity, or at least earn an opportunity first, to eventually meet the champions."
"It's almost like a fresh, new start for us.
"Once we got drafted that night, I remember sitting down with my son and saying, 'OK, we need to make the best out of this opportunity,'" he said. It was during his last run on Monday nights that he won the United States Championship twice and started Dominik off in the ring, so he's hoping for similar success this time around as well. This will mark the second stint he's had on Raw since returning to the company in 2018. There's a lot of talent on Raw right now and we're looking forward to working with many of those." But I always like change and I like to adapt, especially now with my son kicking off his career. For some reason, it's worked better for me and I've gotten used to the SmackDown brand. "SmackDown has always been the brand for me. "I've always been a blue-color man," Mysterio said. That said, he's looking forward to the opportunities that await him on Raw, specifically in the tag team ranks. He's spent a substantial amount of time on Monday nights over the course of his career, but if you ask The Ultimate Underdog himself, even he'll tell you he's partial to the blue brand.
He spent the first six years of his career with the company on SmackDown before getting drafted to Raw in 2008. Mysterio has bled blue from the moment he debuted in WWE in 2002. In this exclusive interview with Bleacher Report, the 46-year-old had plenty to say about his return to Raw, working alongside his son, why he brought back the mask upon arriving in WWE in 2002, and more.Ĭheck out the complete audio of the interview on the next slide and read on for the highlights. In short, his long list of accolades speaks for itself, so expect big things from one of WWE's smallest yet most popular performers starting this week on Raw. He's a three-time world champion in WWE, has held multiple midcard and tag team titles and has broken Royal Rumble records. You can never count out The Master of the 619, even as he enters the twilight of his career. He'll also have a fresh batch of opponents to work with, from Finn Balor and Damian Priest to Keith Lee and Kevin Owens. Regardless of whether he'll continue teaming with Dominik going forward or return to the singles ranks, Rey brings a wealth of knowledge with him to Raw. The father-son duo were prominently featured while on SmackDown in storylines with Seth Rollins and The Bloodline but have recently teased tension between themselves. He and son Dominik were selected by the red brand in the WWE draft on Oct. WWE has announced that the October 25 edition of Raw will kick off a new era for the red brand, and among the many competitors making the jump to Monday nights is Rey Mysterio. Rey and Dominik Mysterio still have tag team gold on their minds now they're on Raw.
