Big news on Mysterio losing the World Title
Rey Mysterio needs knee surgery soon. Rey, who is the current World Hvt. champion, is in good standing with management and he should be in line for a strong push after surgery. Although there's a lot of criticism of how Rey has been pushed as champion, and a lot of second-guessing the decision to return the belt to JBL at Judgment Day, Rey needed time off because of his knee problem which pretty much forced WWE's hand in taking the belt off of him. It's not being interpreted as a sign that he "failed as champion," as most realize he never really had a chance. He is expected to get a nice push after he recovers from knee surgery, perhaps getting WWE Title rematches. With Batista scheduled to return in July, though, he is expected to quickly move back into a top babyface spot, so rematches for Rey might not fit into the picture. Rey is known in the WWE locker room as one of the most easy-going, non-political wrestlers on the roster. He doesn't create waves, he shows up for work, does what he is told, works hard, and is friendly and affable with most everyone.
