Rey Mysterio's achievements in WWE
Debuting for WWE in 2002, The Master of the 619 has accomplished a lot with the company in his decade long career. He has won all the major titles in WWE which makes him a Grand Slam Champion. Mysterio won his last major singles title at this year's Money in the Bank pay per view event when he defeated Samoa Joe to win the United States Championship for the first time.
At the 2006 Royal Rumble, he won the battle royal match by last eliminating Randy Orton and earned a world title shot. He lasted for 62 minutes in the match and it was considered to be a Royal Rumble record until that record was broken by Daniel Bryan when he lasted 76 minutes in the 2018 Greatest Royal Rumble match.
Mysterio earned a world title shot and went on to face Randy Orton and Kurt Angle in a Triple Threat Match match at WrestleMania 22 for Angle's World Heavyweight Championship. He pinned Orton in the match and became the new World Heavyweight Champion. From then onwards, he became famous as The Ultimate Underdog and it was justified because he earned victories over guys bigger than his size such as Kurt Angle, JBL, The Undertaker and The Big Show.
What's next for Mysterio?
After getting sidelined with an injury as a result of the vicious attacks that were laid on him and his son Dominik by Brock Lesnar, Mysterio will make his in-ring return when he and Cain Velasquez will take on the team of Drew McIntyre and Andrade in a tag-team match at the WWE SuperShow Live Event in Mexico City on November 30.
