Whenever it is time for him to retire, Rey Mysterio wants a WWE farewell tour like John Cena is doing. While speaking to Adrian Hernandez, Mysterio was asked if he would rather have his final match announced or ride off into the sunset whenever he wants.

Despite claiming his 1500th WWE match recently, Rey Mysterio is still far behind an elite of superstars who have had more matches than him.

Rey Mysterio is universally beloved and has long been WWE's key to gaining favor with Latin American audiences. The promotion has seen countless luchadors come and go over the decades, but none has ever been deemed fit to succeed Rey Mysterio.

Kalisto and Dragon Lee failed to make a lasting impact. Even Mistico, widely considered a generational talent, stumbled through a disappointing WWE run as Sin Cara. While it's too soon to crown Penta as WWE's next great luchador a month after his debut, early signs indicate the WWE has something special on its hands.
