Rey Mysterio: I Honestly Didn’t Realize That I Was Scared Of Brock Lesnar Until I Stepped In The Ring With Him For The First Time

Rey Mysterio talks John Cena vs Brock Lesnar at WWE Wrestlepalooza.

At the Premium Live Event on September 20th, John Cena will meet Lesnar once again in singles competition following Lesnar’s return to WWE at the end of SummerSlam last month.

While speaking to the RAW Recap in a new interview, Rey Mysterio was asked about the bout between Cena and Lesnar as he was familiar with the pair throughout his career. Mysterio would admit that he wasn’t afraid of Brock till he got into the ring with him.

“I’ll tell you what, the day I saw John Cena turn on Cody, I was sick to my stomach. I couldn’t believe it. But again, I didn’t see it coming. So that kind of, I had 50-50 partial feelings on what was going on, because if I didn’t see it coming, that means it was done very well. So again, the last match that Cody and Cena had at SummerSlam, was incredible. I really enjoyed it. Me personally, it’s very different when you’re in the locker room watching the monitors. But when you’re at home and you have nobody around and you’re just chilling and you’re having yourself a drink and you’re watching the TV and the show, you realize things that you don’t realize when you’re at the arena. So I remember texting both of the, Cody and John, I said, really good match, guys. I really enjoyed it from home. Congratulations to both of you. Now, Brock is a different beast, though. God damn. Brock is, he doesn’t care if you’re on your way out or you just came in or if you’re John Cena or whoever it is that you are. You know, Brock is just- he’s from another planet, and I honestly didn’t realize that I was scared of Brock until I stepped in the ring with him for the first time. And I was like, damn, this dude is huge. But overall, I think it’s going to be very interesting to see both of them, especially on Cena’s way out. And I’m excited to see where this is going to go, really.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Rey commented on the possibility of his son Dominik becoming AAA Mega Champion. You can read more about that here.
