Every WrestleMania Match Of Rey Mysterio's Career, Ranked

Many would argue that Rey Mysterio is the greatest masked wrestler of all time, and certainly, one of the biggest names WWE has ever helped create. Throughout his career, the "Master of the 619" has had some tremendous matches and been involved in many major moments.

Some of those just so happened to take place on the "Grandest Stage Of Them All" where Rey Mysterio has been involved in title matches, grudge matches, and even a retirement moment.

Some of his matches have been incredibly short, whereas others have been more competitive and memorable. Within this list, we will be ranking all of his WrestleMania matches from worst to best.

8 Rey Mysterio vs JBL (WrestleMania 25)

This moment ended up being JBL's final wrestling match as he retired after being defeated. Rey Mysterio picked up the win in a squash match that did not last long, which was done because JBL was seriously banged up.

He wanted to retire with a big moment like this, which was the perfect way to write out a top heel as he "quit" the job after the embarrassing defeat. While it wasn't a classic match, this moment at least made it memorable.

7 Rey Mysterio vs Samoa Joe (WrestleMania 35)

10 years later, Rey Mysterio had a very similar experience to his WrestleMania match with JBL, with injuries forcing it to be quick. While there was no retirement involved here, the quick squash was slightly more impressive from a wrestling perspective.

It was actually Rey Mysterio himself who had the injury walking into this one, and there was speculation heading into the show that he wouldn't be competing at all. But thankfully he pushed through to wrestle.

It's a shame he didn't get a big moment on this show, because since returning to WWE he has been in unbelievable shape and had some memorable matches. But this one with Samoa Joe just wasn't one of them.

6 Cruiserweight Open (WrestleMania 20)

Having massive multi-man matches at WrestleMania is not a surprise and it's something that the company has been doing for a long time. This is to fit as many people onto the show as possible and at WrestleMania 20, this was that match.

Fitting in the cruiserweight division for a 'Cruiserweight Open,' there was only going to be so much that this match could do given the fact it was just 11 minutes long.

It was a pure sprint with lots of highflying action which is expected from a match with talent who work that style. It might have been short considering the number of talents involved, but it was certainly an enjoyable one.

5 Rey Mysterio vs Matt Hardy (WrestleMania 19)

This is a prime example of how wrestlers can make the most of the minutes they are given in the ring. Rey Mysterio and Matt Hardy didn't get tons of time when they battled for the Cruiserweight Championship, but they made the most of it.

The duo was vastly experienced by this point and knew exactly how to make things work. They didn't slowly build to the match, instead, knocking that off and kicking things off at a frantic pace and not slowing down at any point.

There were tons of excellent reversals and some superb wrestling as Hardy played up his heel character to perfection, with this being a really fun and fast match.

4 Rey Mysterio vs CM Punk (WrestleMania 26)

Heading into WrestleMania 26, Rey Mysterio and CM Punk were seen as two of the very best in the business. With a great storyline of Mysterio potentially joining the Straight Edge Society if he lost, the fans were certainly invested.

The two men had brilliant chemistry and went back and forth with some excellent counters and reversals being thrown into the mix. Everything they did seemed incredibly easy for them, with their timing being sensational.

This led to a brilliant match, although the finish did seemingly come out of nowhere. The pair went on to have better matches together, but this was certainly still a great one.

3 Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero (WrestleMania 21)

When you put two people as talented as Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero into a ring together you know that the match is going to be something special. This was exactly that, not disappointing any of the fans who had high expectations for them.

While they did have far better matches than this together at other stages in their careers, this was on the "Grandest Stage Of Them All" and it really was a brilliant match.

2 Rey Mysterio vs Cody Rhodes (WrestleMania 27)

Rey Mysterio and Cody Rhodes always had tremendous chemistry when the locked up in the ring. This was a prime example of that as they both went out and tore it up, putting on a really strong mid-card match for the show.

There was a brilliant storyline put in place for this match as well, with Cody blaming Rey Mysterio for no longer being dashing, utilizing his facemask to his advantage. It was a moment where it seemed like he would kick on in WWE to the main event scene afterward, but sadly that never happened.

However, this classic did take place and it was great. The match had some fantastic near falls and reversals as they kept the work at a fast pace to make things as impactful as possible.

When it comes to Rey Mysterio's WrestleMania matches, the most iconic and best came at WrestleMania 22. Competing for the World Heavyweight Championship, this was the peak of his major push by the company.

Having won the Royal Rumble, he got to mix it up with two of the very best main event stars and create one of the most iconic moments in WWE history.

Triple threat matches are never easy to get right, yet this one certainly was. It was kept to a frantic pace with lots of reversals and twists as everyone got their spots in, with Mysterio eventually reaching his dream goal with the win.
