Like I guessed, the whole “Rey Mysterio might return an the Royal Rumble rumor can probably be nixed because in his latest video, Rey discusses the fact that he can hardly jog on a treadmill. However, Rey does say that he is looking for a WrestleMania return, something that I’ve been posting since Day 1 of his injury. Apparently, not only the fans want Rey to return at WrestleMania, so does WWE. Also, it’s being said that if he does return, WWE might keep him off television until after the PPV.

Thanks to the amazing Team Mysterio for shooting and uploading a brand new Rey Mysterio video on his only youtube account, TeamMysterioInc. In the video, Rey discusses his injury and his hopeful return date. Rey also discusses his new ways of rehabbing in a pool, hoping he’ll be able to jog on a treadmill soon. Also, Rey takes the time to show a few gifts he has received from both friends and fans, one really cool piece from fellow WWE Superstar, Edge! He also tells us that he forgot his twitter password (aw! lol) and that he bought a new house. Make sure you watch the whole video because it really is great, especially at the end. (;

Did you just read correctly? “Is Rey Mysterio returning at the 2012 Royal Rumble?!” Say what? Apparently, one of the biggest rumors on the internet is that our boy, Rey Mysterio will be returning soon. The reason that sparked this rumor is that the “Johnny Dare Morning Show,” a radio show was hyping up Rey Mysterio for an appearance on their radio show on January 30th, 2012. Prior to announcing Rey, the host said that they’ll have Rey in the studio just “one night after he performed in the Royal Rumble match.”

Do you believe it? To be honest, I doubt it’s true and well, I hope it isn’t! As much as I would love to see Rey wrestle again, I want him to be 150% before entering the ring. If he does enter the Rumble, then he would only be out for five months, two months less than expected. Honestly, I wouldn’t look too much into this rumor, as Rey himself wants to heal well before wrestling again.

In other news, if you live in the Missouri area, make sure to tune into the radio on the 30th to listen to Rey Mysterio on the Johnny Dare Morning Show!

WWE.com recently posted a brand new article entitled “Twelve to Watch in 2012,” which consist of superstars and divas that we should keep an eye out for in 2012. Of course, our Ultimate Underdog Rey Mysterio is one of the twelve you guys should keep your eye out! Not only him, but some of my other personal favorites were on the list, including the likes of Hunico, Chris Jericho, Cody Rhodes and much more! Let’s hope WWE is right about this list, at it seems like a pretty good one. Read what they said about Rey:

Rey Mysterio – After attaining his first-ever WWE Championship back in July, only to lose it to John Cena the very same night, Rey-Rey’s 2011 took a steep downturn when his archrival Alberto Del Rio took him out of action for the remainder of the year.

In an exclusive interview with WWE.com reporters at the 2011 Slammy Awards, Rey revealed that he was hoping to be back in the ring and thrilling the WWE Universe in time for WrestleMania XXVIII. Can we expect a fully healed Ultimate Underdog to heat up Miami at The Showcase of the Immortals?

John Morrison and The Miz defeated Rey Mysterio and Kofi Kingston
[view photos - view screencaptures]Rey Mysterio and Kofi Kingston are seen walking together to the ring, backstage. They pass by Mickie James and Dolph Ziggler and seem to talk about the match their heading into. As they walk, the video camera cuts to the arena, and John Morrison and The Miz, WWE Tag Champions make their way towards the ring. They then take a microphone and cut a promo. Afterwards, Rey Mysterio’s theme hits, and he comes out to a pretty good pop! He greets the fans along the way, and makes his way towards the ring. After, Kofi Kingston follows. The match begins and Kofi starts things off against the Miz. Rey is tagged in during the commercial break, and The Miz locks on a submissive move. However, Rey begins to counter as he stands up and throws some punches to the Miz to get out of the hold. Miz sends Rey into the corner, and Rey moves out and sends Miz into the seconds turnbuckle. As the Miz is down, Rey somersaults around the ring, tags in Kofi, and somersaults out of the ring.

Kofi keeps control over Miz, and even takes Morrison out of the picture by taking him off the apron. However, when Kofi climbs onto the top rope, Morrison trips him, and takes him down, allowing Miz to take control. Morrison is soon tagged in and keeps control over the match. After, Miz was tagged in. Rey stands on the apron, watching and waiting to be tagged in. Kofi tries his best to get to Rey, but Miz knocks Rey off the apron once they rich that corner. Rey goes flying off the apron and onto the ground. Kofi goes for a tag, but Rey is on the floor due to the cheap shot. Rey quickly climbs to the apron, but Kingston has been dragged away by the Miz. After, Morrison is tagged in again. Miz is tagged in, and after a few counters, Kofi finally tags Rey in!

As Rey enters the ring, Morrison is also tagged in. Rey goes to work on Morrison with fierce kicks! Rey quickens the pace, and even lands a near fall. Rey goes for a wheelbarrow bulldog, but Morrison counters by slamming Rey’s face into the mat. After Rey gets on the top rope, flips off and takes Morrison tumbling with him! Rey goes for a pin, but the Miz intervenes, only for Kofi to take him out. After, Rey lands Morrison into the 619 and connects. As Rey goes for the splash, Miz comes on the apron only for Rey to kick him off. After, Morrison kicks Rey mid-air, and picks up the win. After the match, Mike Knox comes out of nowhere, and blindsides Rey. Knox attacks Rey, and when Kofi gets up to come to Rey‘s aid, Knox attacks Kofi. Knox sends Rey out of the ring with a giant boot and walks over him while the referee checks on Rey.
