Update on Rey Mysterio's Contractual Situation With WWE


-- As has been noted several times over the last few weeks, WWE and Rey Mysterio are involved in negotiations for a new contract for the wrestler and according to the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, as of yesterday, the two sides had still not come to an agreement on a new deal. As a result, the finish to the "Eye for an Eye" match was scripted in such a manner that could not only explain why Mysterio leaving WWE and not coming back due to the "injury" but the wording left open the possibility that his eye could be salvaged and

Last night's "Eye for an Eye" match ended with Seth Rollins beating Rey Mysterio in a finish that WWE scripted in a way that could be used to explain Mysterio not returning to the company but leaving the door open for a return should he sign a new contract. It essentially sets up creative for an out to bring him back from a storyline perspective.
