Rey Mysterio hopes to see Brandon Moreno in a WWE ring.
Brandon Moreno is a former UFC Flyweight Champion, but he's no stranger to the squared circle as he took part in the action at AAA Triplemania 31 Tijuana, jumping in the ring and beating up Daga.
Rey Mysterio hopes Moreno will make his way to a WWE ring at some point.
"I saw a little bit of the footage on social media," Mysterio told Ariel Helwani on the MMA Hour when asked if he saw Moreno in AAA. "We [Moreno & I] had the podcast about a month before that happened, and I was trying to convince him, ‘show me a little bit of MMA and I’ll teach you some of the ropes. Let’s get in the ring.’ He goes, ‘I would love to.’ We were kind of joking it out. I do believe he has a passion for wrestling and lucha. I would love to interact more with him in the future and hope that maybe one day he decides to step into a WWE ring."
Mysterio was previously aligned with former UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez in WWE.
Moreno last fought at UFC 290, losing a split decision to Alexandre Pantoja. It is unknown when he will return to the cage.
Mysterio is set to face Logan Paul at WWE Crown Jewel. Fans can check out the current lineup for the show by clicking here.
