Rey Mysterio’s SmackDown 03/01 Return Ruined As Fans Spread Hate Over His Latest Mask: “WTF Is He Wearing”

The unified effect of a shattering defeat at the Crown Jewel in the hands of newbie Logan Paul and a betrayal from his fellow LWO mate, Santos Escobar, put Rey Mysterio out of action a few months ago. But the good thing is he’s back on SmackDown tonight. However, his eerie choice of mask was met with a lot of mockery from fans.

Fans are often very keen to observe a superstar’s nitty-gritty details with a magnified view. Along that line, Mysterio’s different use of a mask was spotted by them and went against the expected joy of his comeback.

Fans lambasted Rey Mysterio’s mask, which stood out in a negative sense

Rey Mysterio, one of the greatest high flyers of the pro wrestling world, has rarely been seen without a mask. The Masked Man of WWE chose a face cover as his signature Luchador style. But tonight, his mask that resembles Great Muta to some extent didn’t sit well with fans.

They found it extremely uncool and weird.

They seemed utterly disappointed solely for the poor choice of mask.

One fan even found it difficult to look past the mask, sneaking it into a comment on a potential Mysterio vs Escobar bout at WrestleMania.

However, other than the mask controversy, it seems Mysterio has another threat to deal with regarding his appearance tonight.

The threat in question is none other than his latest foe, Santos Escober.

Santos Escober sent a chilling threat to Rey Mysterio on his sudden resurgence.

Escober launched a serious assault on the Elder Mysterio during November’s SmackDown episode, making him pay for costing a match against Carlito in a street fight. It was the Mexican star’s way of giving his childhood hero a hassled farewell. But with Mysterio coming back tonight, Escober became ferocious and tactless. ‘‘I gave Rey a clean way out of this industry, like a legend, with his head held up high. WWE Hall of Famer. This is my time. It was supposed to be my moment, and he took it away. Now tonight, with the so-called surprise return, it’s fair game. I will end Rey Mysterio, and this time, there’s not gonna be a surprise comeback”, he claimed in a frightful interview post the show.

We can rest assured WWE has some big plans for the newly minted Mysterio-Escober rivalry going forward.

What’s your take on Rey Mysterio’s surprise return on SmackDown being downgraded for his weird mask? Let us know in the comments.
