Despite working without a mask back in the day, Mysterio is regarded as one of the greatest luchador wrestlers of all time.
The Master of the 619 is still going strong at the age of 47 in WWE and is set to face Gunther for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Mysterio recently switched to the SmackDown brand after his feud with The Judgment Day and his son, Dominik Mysterio.

Ospreay won the IWGP US Heavyweight Championship after it was vacated by Juice Robinson, who suffered appendicitis and was forced to relinquish the belt.
Meanwhile, at Dominion 6.12, The Commonwealth Kingpin defeated SANADA to win the vacant title. SANADA himself was previously forced to vacate the championship.
Ospreay has defended the title twice since winning it. His first defense saw him beat Orange Cassidy at the AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door pay-per-view. For his second defense, he defeated David Finlay at NJPW Burning Spirit.
Finlay previously defeated Ospreay in this year's G1 Climax tournament and earned a title shot in the process.
