WWE release Rey Mysterio’s upcoming schedule

On September 19, Rey Mysterio signed a two-year deal with WWE, and on Sunday (October 7), it was announced that he would be making his return at SmackDown 1000 on October 16.

On last night’s SmackDown Live, his opponent for his return was revealed as United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura. The two men will face off in a World Cup Qualifier.

Although this would make many assume Mysterio will now be a SmackDown Live star, his future brand has not yet been decided.

Much of the speculation regarding Rey’s return centred around the suggestion that he was unwilling to work a full-time schedule, but WWE has just released Rey’s schedule for the next month and it looks like he will be back to working full-time for the company.

WWE released a statement which read:

Rey Mysterio is back with WWE on a full-time basis, meaning the WWE Universe will have the opportunity to see The Master of The 619 live and in person in the very near future.

The masked marvel’s return begins on SmackDown 1000 next Tuesday when he faces Shinsuke Nakamura in a WWE World Cup Qualifying Match. In addition, WWE fans in the following cities will get to see Mysterio in action on the below dates:

Hartford, Conn. – Oct. 20
Boston, Mass. – Oct. 21
White Plains, N.Y. – Oct. 22
Cardiff, Wales – Nov. 3
Aberdeen, Scotland – Nov. 4
Birmingham, England – Nov. 5

So, Mysterio is back, Evolution is reuniting, the Brothers of Destruction are facing DX…what year is this?
