Tonight's Confirmed WWE NXT Matches + More On Rey Mysterio's WWE Contract Issues & Future

* #1 Contender’s Match: Tyler Breeze vs. Sami Zayn

-- As noted earlier here on the website, some new details on Rey Mysterio’s current relationship with WWE have been released. As we posted on Monday, Mysterio was brought to Buffalo, New York for Monday’s episode of RAW. This is after the company contacted him just before the Mexican tour, asking him to come back for it as advance ticket sales were initially low. Mysterio made it clear at that time that he did not want to come back.

According to sources, Mysterio still does not want to come back but the creative team is still trying to come up with ideas for him. Part of why Mysterio wants to work outside of the company is due to the fact that he saw the former Sin Cara able to call his own shots and command a high price ($5,000 per match) for working in Mexico. Mysterio is also confident that he could make very good money as one of Lucha Underground’s flagship stars.

Back when Mysterio’s deal expired about six months ago, he actually shook hands with Triple H and the two thanked each other for their time together like it was over. However, Vince McMahon made the call to have Mysterio’s contract extended for another year due to the time he didn’t work due to his injuries. It's basically a case of WWE is going to use him while they have him under contract despite the fact that he doesn't want to be there. He has no plans to re-up with WWE when his current con tract expires. It'll be interesting to see how they use him and whether they "job" him out and have him "put over" younger talents.

VIDEO: Matt Hardy Says TLC Matches Shortened His Career

Matt Hardy recently appeared on The Roman Show, and spoke about the TLC matches shortening his career. Here is what he had to say…

"Whenever human flesh and bone get slammed on steel like ladders or chairs, or tables, all that stuff, TLC's or cages, the flesh isn't going to win. Those matches beat you up and take a toll. It is what it is. Professional wrestling isn't ballet. Those were very tough grueling matches. It definitely took a toll on us. They took time off our career I'm sure and they beat us up for many years down the road. With that said, those are the matches that made us famous.
