• Rey Mysterio Reveals When He’ll Retire
This Friday night after SmackDown goes off the air, Rey Mysterio will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
Then a day or two later, he will face his son Dominik in a highly anticipated match at WrestleMania 39.
During an interview with WESH 2 News, Mysterio said he plans on retiring from pro-wrestling at the age of 50:
“I’ve always had this number in mind and it just kept getting higher and higher every single time just because how great my body has been feeling and overall, how since my schedule slimmed down, I feel like this energetic person that loves to go in there and perform on a once-a-week basis.
Just brings out a different type of energy. But 50 was the number that I said I was — I cannot and I don’t think I will go past it.
But to be able to be inducted and given such a prestige honor of being part of the Hall of Fame, it’s like the ultimate in your career. You always think that, hoping that one day when you retire, that offer is presented to you but here it is, you know?
I’m in somewhat of the peak of my career maybe because I still feel great, I feel like I can compete on the level of other superstars but overall, it’s just a dream come true.”
Rey is currently 48 years old. He will turn 50 on December 11th 2024. He will complete 34 years in wrestling on April 30.
