Rey Mysterio reveals what Triple H told him after he found out about his WWE Hall of Fame induction
Former world champion Rey Mysterio recently disclosed his conversation with Triple H when he learned that the company was interested in inducting him into the WWE Hall of Fame.
The Master of the 619 has had a very successful career in pro wrestling. He's won the Royal Rumble, held the WWE Championship, and has headlined numerous events. He has also shared the ring with countless legends, including the late great Eddie Guerrero, The Undertaker, and Shawn Michaels.
During a recent interview with The New York Post, Rey Mysterio revealed that Triple H was the person who informed him about his WWE Hall of Fame induction. He was worried that it meant he would have to retire, but The Game told him that was not the case.
“I was pulled aside by Triple H and he mentioned to me, ‘Rey, we would love to induct you into the Hall of Fame,” Mysterio said. “It was very shocking to me. It was like, ‘Wow.’ I remember the first words that came out of my mouth were just like, ‘I’m not ready to retire.’ He’s like, ‘No, it’s not like that,'" said Mysterio.
Congratulations to @reymysterio on being the first inductee for the 2023 WWE Hall of Fame! 🐐
