Rey Mysterio recalls one of the most exciting moments of his career
Rey Mysterio talked about the Royal Rumble match he won in 2006. The former WWE champion then dedicated the victory to Eddie Guerreiro, who passed away in November 2005. In one of the most iconic Royal Rumble matches ever, Rey entered with the number 2 and lasted 62 minutes before he took out Randy Orton last, securing a spot at Wrestlemania 22.
Rey Mysterio is currently in his second stint with WWE
In an appearance on ‘My Mom’s Basement with Robbie Fox’, Rey Mysterio recalled that match: “I think the surprise is what makes the Royal Rumble so special because you never know who will win it or even who will participate in it.
You can think of someone you, but it is not said then it will be so. There have only been two superstars in WWE history who entered the first numbers and then won. One was Shawn Michaels with number one and the other was me with number two.
We both won and we are the only ones. It was a very special moment for me. I didn’t know who would be the winner until that day. Eddie had just died in November, it was January and many fans still, even today they see Eddie through me because of the connection we had.
Although we have ended our rivalry at SummerSlam. We were rivals in August before his death, but they remembered the bond we had more than the custody rivalry of Dominik. So there were so many feelings that accumulated in that Royal Rumble.
It was undoubtedly very special.” On the fact that he came in as number two but still won, Rey revealed: “It was a surprise. I was in the match from start to finish and then I won. I had a lot of fun but it was also a very hectic and difficult moment because that evening I had to perform at a high level.
In any case, however, I behaved well in the end.” In this year’s Royal Rumble, both Rey Mysterio and his son Dominik will participate in the 30-man royal brawl but despite this, there will be no fatherly love between them.
