It’s no secret that Rey Mysterio in living in the twilight years of his in-ring career. At 45-years-old, he’s one of the WWE roster’s most enduring statesmen, and he’s already been dropping hints that he’ll hang up his mask in the near future. However, according to Sportskeeda‘s Tom Colohue, he almost retired in recent months.
Last year, Mysterio was on the receiving end of a losing streak, and he questioned where his career was going in the storyline. While his comments were made in character, the storyline was apparently quite close to the truth. In the end, his son Dominick entered the fray and convinced him not to call it quits, and the pair entered a feud with Brock Lesnar that arguably rejuvenated Mysterio’s career.
