Rey Mysterio Returns on WWE Raw

Rey Mysterio is back — and he’s heading to WrestleMania 42. The WWE Hall of Famer made his return from injury on Monday’s WWE Raw, appearing after the six-man trios match that saw Je’Von Evans, Penta, and Dragon Lee defeat El Grande Americano and Los Americanos to reveal he has been added to the Intercontinental Championship ladder match in Las Vegas.

Mysterio’s addition makes the already stacked ladder match even more compelling. Penta responded to the announcement by telling Mysterio he is ready to make history alongside him on the grandest stage — a moment that set the tone for what figures to be one of WrestleMania 42’s most exciting multi-man bouts.

Rey Mysterio Joins Penta, Dragon Lee, JD McDonagh, Je’Von Evans, and Rusev in WrestleMania 42 Ladder Match

The Intercontinental Championship ladder match field is now confirmed as Penta defending against Dragon Lee, JD McDonagh, Je’Von Evans, Rusev, and Rey Mysterio — six performers whose combined styles promise a WrestleMania moment worthy of the championship’s storied history. Mysterio had been sidelined with a rib injury that previously derailed plans that had been discussed for him involving Gunther. His return directly into a WrestleMania ladder match gives one of professional wrestling’s greatest performers a fitting stage heading into Las Vegas on April 18 and 19 at Allegiant Stadium.
