Rey Mysterio explains why he took a three year hiatus from WWE.
Mysterio joined WWE in 2002 but decided to leave the company after his contract expired in 2015. He eventually returned to WWE back in 2018, where he was also part of the Royal Rumble match.
While speaking with The National, the legendary luchador revealed that he decided to take a 3-year hiatus from WWE in order to connect with his family.
I left because I was just tired physically, mentally and I just wanted to reconnect with my family,. But I always knew that I wanted to come back and I wanted to retire in the WWE. My career was definitely going to end in WWE, no matter what. I never really had any desire to go anywhere else. It has always been the WWE. Now I know the WWE has always been my home.”
