WWE Upset with Mysterio
As we exclusively reported earlier this week, Rey Mysterio was backstage at a Lucha Underground taping, and when news of his backstage appearance hit the internet and photos of him at the event surfaced online, WWE was not happy.
Photos of Mysterio at dinner with some of the Lucha production staff also popped up on social media, but were quickly deleted.
Rey Mysterio is still under contract with WWE.
