Rey Mysterio Spotted Unmasked Ahead Of WWE RAW In Orlando – Across his 36-year career, Rey Mysterio has protected his mask as one of the most defining elements of his wrestling identity. The WWE Hall of Famer has rarely appeared in public without it, making any unmasked sighting a notable moment for fans.
That happened on Monday, December 29, ahead of WWE RAW at Orlando’s Kia Center. As WWE talent arrived at the venue, Mysterio took time to greet fans outside the arena. During the interaction, one fan shared a selfie alongside Mysterio, who was unmasked and wearing glasses. The image quickly circulated online, drawing attention due to how uncommon it is to see Mysterio without his iconic lucha mask.
The same fan also posted photos from encounters with several other WWE stars, including former WWE Women’s World Champion IYO SKY, former Women’s Champion Bayley, and R-Truth. R-Truth later competed on RAW that night, facing Gunther in singles action.
Once RAW went live, Mysterio returned to his traditional presentation, entering the arena masked as usual. He competed in singles action against Austin Theory, who was making his in-ring return following his alignment with The Vision. For the match, Mysterio wore black and pink ring gear, while Theory debuted a new shaved-head look along with a more rock-inspired entrance theme.
The bout ended in disqualification after Logan Paul interfered, striking Mysterio while he was airborne. Following the bell, Theory and Paul continued their attack until Penta made his return, running down to the ring to assist Mysterio and clear the ring. The moment marked Penta’s first WWE appearance since being sidelined with a shoulder injury in November.
While the unmasked photo occurred outside the arena and not on WWE programming, it still stood out as a rare glimpse of Mysterio without the mask that has defined his career for decades. By the time RAW was underway, however, everything was back to normal, with Mysterio once again competing in full lucha attire and continuing his on-screen storyline.
