WWE SummerSlam 2019: 3 possible opponents for Rey Mysterio
By Mark Justice
3.) Baron Corbin
On the Raw before WrestleMania 35, Baron Corbin defeated Rey Mysterio to gain momentum for his big match against the legendary Kurt Angle at WrestleMania 35. after Mysterio challenged Corbin on behalf of the Olympic Gold Medalist out of respect.
Mysterio had a long history with Angle, especially when he won the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 22 thirteen years ago. With Angle planning to end his career at WrestleMania 35, Mysterio wanted to fight for him one last time and beat some respect out of Corbin in the process.

Since Mysterio sadly lost that match, he needs some way to redeem himself. Considering that Corbin also eliminated Mysterio from the Cross-Branded Universal Championship Number One Contender All Star-Battle Royal two weeks ago on Raw, Mysterio could indeed redeem himself with a victory over Corbin at SummerSlam.
Like Mysterio, Corbin is currently not in any title picture and is also not scheduled for any matches at SummerSlam. Albeit most fans would be completely fine with Corbin not being on the SummerSlam card, it would be beneficial for Mysterio to right the wrong of Angle losing his very last match to Corbin at WrestleMania 35 by defeating Corbin at the biggest event of the summer.
Just like Kurt Angle’s culmination to his career, Rey Mysterio’s return from injury was disrespected as well.
