• Rey Mysterio Reacts To Being Unmasked On RAW

As seen on this week’s episode of RAW, Andrade defeated Rey Mysterio in a Gauntlet match and then unmasked him.

Mysterio was interviewed backstage after RAW and below is what he said about Andrade’s actions:

“That’s when you think about the hard work you’ve put in, and it just goes to show that I’ve worked really hard but not enough. I needed to go through two more rounds and tonight just wasn’t my night, but I can’t live with that weight on my back forever.

[Last night] was just one bad night that happened; and even though the circumstances were a bit horrible,” Rey continued as he looked down at his mask, “because the only person that has ripped my mask before, in the past, has been Eddie Guerrero and Randy Orton. Now Andrade took it overboard.

I have two main goals in mind right now – first, get that US Title back, and second, take care of Andrade for what he did tonight.”

Andrade posted the following on Twitter and Instagram regarding this:

I am the new face of Latinos!!! I will end with the legacy of #ReyMistero https://t.co/xU8Roj15uq
