9. Dominik Mysterio

Ever since turning on his father in 2022, Dominik Mysterio has been Rey’s biggest rival in WWE.

Often finding himself in opposition to his son, Rey has gone one-on-one with “Dirty Dom” several times over the past few years.

Back at WWE WrestleMania 39, Rey defeated Dominik in a father vs. son battle. However, the younger Mysterio has gotten the better of his dad on occasion since then.

When Rey wants to call it a career, there is no better option to retire him from the squared circle than Dominik Mysterio and take his mask in the process.

8. Santos Escobar

Back in 2023, Rey Mysterio and Santos Escobar came together to unite Legado Del Fantasma with the WWE Hall of Famer.

Forming a new version of the LWO, the group went on to find success together and became a major merchandise mover for WWE.

This partnership did not last too long because Escobar turned his back on the group to reform Legado Del Fantasma.

Now looking to revive his career back in WWE after several months away, it might be time for Santos to make his return as Mysterio’s final WWE opponent.

However, Mysterio suffered a serious torn groin injury one day before the bout that led to him being replaced by Rey Fenix.

With nearly a year since this match was supposed to happen, it might be time for WWE to finally deliver this bout.

6. Randy Orton

Throughout his illustrious career, Rey Mysterio has collided with a number of legends in WWE.

One of his more intense and heated rivalries had to be Randy Orton back in 2006 where the two men got very personal.

It was Orton who almost stole Mysterio’s opportunity to become World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleMania 22 before Rey got his title match and walked out with the gold in Chicago.

All these years later, it might be the right time for Mysterio and Orton to run it back in the luchador’s final match in WWE.

5. Cody Rhodes

Another storied rival of Rey Mysterio is Cody Rhodes, who really started to make a name for himself against the WWE Hall of Famer.

Back in 2011, Rhodes targeted Mysterio after he broke his nose and ruined his “Dashing” character. Becoming “Undashing”, Rhodes picked up his first singles win on the WrestleMania stage against Rey.

Now that Rhodes has cemented himself as a main event star in his second run in WWE, he could prove to be an ideal opponent for Mysterio this time around.

Wanting to give Mysterio a proper sendoff, Rhodes could play up his ascent at the expense of his former rival and set himself up as a comparable foil to the legendary luchador.

One more Rey Mysterio rival who could be in position to be his final opponent is CM Punk.

Mysterio and Punk have battled on several different occasions throughout their legendary careers, including Rey forcing “The Best In The World” to have his head shaved in 2010.

Now, Punk is back in WWE and has even stood side-by-side with Mysterio in battles against The Vision.

After teasing a potential rekindling of their rivalry, Punk could be the one chosen to be Mysterio’s final WWE opponent to showcase their underrated chemistry with one another.

3. GUNTHER

Over the past year, GUNTHER has earned the reputation and the moniker of “The Career Killer.”

Having retired Goldberg, John Cena and AJ Styles in a six-month span, GUNTHER has shown himself to be the most feared and intimidating competitor inside the squared circle.

“The Ring General” is someone who could look at Rey Mysterio as another legend who is seeking one more ride in the sunset that he has to put an end to.

GUNTHER retiring Rey Mysterio would add yet another iconic name to his list of vanquished foes that would further elevate himself in the history books.

2. Dragon Lee

Rey Mysterio has been mentoring other Mexican talent on the WWE roster as of late.

One such star who has gained guidance and mentorship from Mysterio over the past few years is Dragon Lee.

Welcoming him into the LWO back in 2023, Lee has wanted to follow in the footsteps of the WWE Hall of Famer and fill a void that might be left behind when his days are numbered.

Mysterio choosing Lee as his final WWE opponent would be a great honor that could propel the former NXT North American Champion up the ladder.

1. Penta

Another luchador that has been following in the footsteps of Rey Mysterio over the past year is Penta.

Taking WWE by storm, Penta came into the company with a ton of momentum and went on to team with Mysterio on several occasions.

While Penta has become one of WWE’s most popular stars, he has yet to pick up a signature win that will help him gain a prominent role on the company’s programming.

Being the man to face the legendary luchador in his final match, Penta could be passed the torch from Mysterio that will help him eventually become a main eventer in WWE.
