"Those two guys" - Rey Mysterio wants to face two former Universal Champions for the first time in WWE
Former WWE Champion Rey Mysterio has named Kevin Owens and Finn Balor as the two stars he'd like to wrestle.
The Master of the 619 has never faced either star in a singles match in WWE before. A one-on-one match between him, Balor, and The Prizefighter would undoubtedly be an interesting bout.
Speaking to Metro.co.uk in a press conference, Rey Mysterio stated that facing Kevin Owens and Finn Balor is at the top of his list.
“I’ve been keeping a close eye on Kevin Owens,” said Mysterio. “He and I have never clashed one-on-one. (...) not too long ago, with Seth, and Finn, and myself. But Kevin Owens is a guy that I’ve had my eyes on. Finn Balor is another guy that I would love to go out there and just compete [with] one-on-one. Those two guys are definitely at the top of my list right now.”
