Rey Mysterio, a WWE Hall of Famer, hinted at a surprising twist involving Roman Reigns during the upcoming WWE RAW, fueling speculation among fans. The teaser emerged as Mysterio prepared for his showdown against Austin Theory, following an altercation on last week’s show where Theory took him out with a stomp.
After the recent attack, a high-stakes match was scheduled between Austin Theory and Rey Mysterio for this week on RAW. Before stepping into the ring, Mysterio had a backstage conversation with World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk. Punk assured Mysterio he would have support to handle any interference from the Vision faction during their match, reinforcing the idea of backup for the seasoned wrestler.
During their exchange, Rey Mysterio offered his advice to CM Punk. He urged Punk to concentrate on his own upcoming World Heavyweight Championship defense against Bron Breakker, emphasizing that he, Mysterio, could handle the challenges ahead. In a pointed remark, Mysterio referenced Paul Heyman, stating that Heyman was not the only person in WWE skilled in making favorable deals. This nod alluded to a past storyline where Heyman’s tactical favors contributed to major shifts, including the beginning of the Bloodline’s downfall at Survivor Series.
Mysterio’s words suggested that he may be planning an unexpected move or seeking assistance for his bout against Austin Theory. This comment has prompted widespread speculation, with many questioning whether Roman Reigns might make a surprise appearance. If Reigns were to intervene, it could generate major headlines and shock both The Vision and WWE fans as the New Year approaches.
Anticipation Grows Surrounding CM Punk’s Upcoming Title Defense
Looking ahead, CM Punk prepares for a crucial World Heavyweight title defense against Bron Breakker next week on RAW. While Punk typically contends with dominant factions alone, he could receive crucial support from Rey Mysterio, especially given Mysterio’s mention of having a hidden favor. Additionally, if Roman Reigns were to return and assist Mysterio against The Vision, this would place the Tribal Chief and Punk possibly on the same side, raising the stakes for all involved.
The backstage developments and Mysterio’s suggestive remarks have created a sense of intrigue about future alliances and betrayals in WWE. Fans, as well as key figures like Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns, will be watching closely to see if the upcoming RAW delivers the hinted-at surprises, especially with the New Year and major matches on the horizon.
