"I’ll say this like one of the greatest, maybe the greatest wrestlers of all time that people don’t often forget about or don’t recognize. Rey Mysterio is maybe one of the greatest. I wish I could have had one match with Rey Mysterio just to be in the ring with him. He’s one of my favorites and is always a class act. Very few wrestlers have the respect that I have for Rey Mysterio," said Bret Hart.
Notably, for his immense contribution to WWE and for being one of the greatest superstar wrestlers, Rey was honoured with induction into the Hall of Fame 2023.
Currently, Rey is leader of the Latino World Order which comprises of Santos Escobar, Cruz Del Toro, Zelina Vega, Joaquin Wilde etc. Rey has been embroiled in a bitter feud against his real life son Dominik and the father-son duo have had many confrontations in the ring. At WrestleMania39, Rey defeated Dominik in a head-to-head fight and the storyline has continued since then, leading to trash talks and confrontations in the arena.
