Bengaluru, June 1: WWE Universe is gearing up to be fed with emotional drama, heading into this week's episode of Monday Night Raw. The headliner of the show says that Rey Mysterio, one of the all-time greats, is ready to call it a day in his career.
But it seems to be just an angle that should play out on a whole different level, setting up the stage for his true successor in the pro-wrestling industry. As announced by WWE.com, Rey Mysterio is set to announce his retirement tonight on RAW. Seth Rollins, who caused an eye injury to the Mexican legend, a couple of weeks ago, will be hosting the segment.
That injury apparently turned out to be infectious that he has no option but to end his career, as per the storyline. Rollins cut a promo, last week suggesting that Rey had to sacrifice himself for a greater cause which is yet unknown.

Promos are carefully drafted in the WWE where a name-drop isn’t possible if the writers didn't want it there, especially now when all the shows are pre-taped.
“Since they mentioned Dominick Mysterio it will be interesting to see if he shows up to defend his father because we know he’s been on WWE’s radar or in their orbit so to speak,” informed Johnson in his report.
Rey Mysterio would then want to come out of retirement and seek redemption on behalf of his son setting up a future match with Rollins. Dominick Mysterio is said to have completed in-ring training sessions that are needed prior to WWE debut. WWE previously tried to involve him in Mysterio’s feuds but plans didn't work.
At this point, Dominick has deleted his private Facebook account, as per his close friends which does indicate that WWE is controlling him from behind as they want to wrap the surprise debut set for tonight.
On a flip side, it's not confirmed that Dominick will take his father’s side upon debut as rumours have also been running rampant on Dominick's potential turn-on against Rey.
While appearing on WWE Backstage, Seth Rollins discussed his history with factions, namely The Shield and The Authority. Now as the Monday Night Messiah, he could bestow that wisdom on newer stars like Murphy and Austin Theory, those who volunteered to be the disciples.
"I can’t, I don’t want to disclose too much. There is somebody out there that is very close to me that would make a great addition right now. We’ll see how things pan out.” (quotes courtesy 411mania.com)
