Rey Mysterio interested in helping WWE grow Lucha Libre AAA
Rey Mysterio is still enjoying competing in the ring, but a behind-the-scenes position in Lucha Libre AAA could potentially interest him down the line.
The 51-year-old Mysterio addressed his future goals while appearing on a new edition of Cody Rhodes’ “What Do You Wanna Talk About?” podcast. Mysterio always thought the WWE Hall of Fame would be his final accomplishment. But now that he’s achieved that while still being an active wrestler, Mysterio just wants to keep enjoying himself in the ring and working with his son Dominik until it’s eventually time to step away.
“I mean, not really,” Mysterio responded when asked if he knows what his next goal is. “I pretty much have seen more than I could imagine with the growth of Dom and his evolution here in the sport, and how he’s grown, and how he’s become his individual self, and the place that he’s carrying and taking the name to, which I always deep down inside thought that he would be bigger and better than me in a different way.
“And I guess this is the way, which is also funny because my wife said that if he ever wrestled, that she always saw him as a bad guy. And here is the bad guy that my wife obviously spent way more time with him than I did. I was always on the road, so I guess she saw a side of him that I am now seeing. Obviously, I didn’t know.”
Now that AAA is under the WWE umbrella, Mysterio thinks it would be fun to help that promotion grow. He’ll always be grateful for how AAA helped launch his career.
“But overall, I think it might be fun to help with the acquisition with AAA and be involved as much as I can with that,” Mysterio said. “And kind of start learning on how to work on the production side or how I can invest my time to eventually help AAA grow. Knowing that that was my house, my very first house or my home from day one. And from there, it all started. Everything flourished from AAA. But I’m still enjoying the moment.”
Dominik is the current Mega Champion in AAA and also holds the Intercontinental title in WWE. He and his father faced off in a tag match in December 2025 at AAA Guerra de Titanes.
