The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that Rey Mysterio isn’t set to leave WWE, but the two sides’ disagreement over pay hasn’t been fully settled as of yet.

Rey Mysterio believes that he can make huge money in Mexico right now, as behind the Mexician president, Mysterio is the most popular person in Mexico.

Rey Mysterio wants to do mainstream media appearances and to get involved with big-time product endorsements that the likes of Tiger Woods and David Beckham get.

Since getting on TV in Mexico, WWE has been doing giant ratings. Even the first ever WWE PPV in Mexico, which was this year’s Wrestlemania, toppled WWE’s expectations in terms of PPV buys. Last month’s tour of Mexico was also considered a big success.

Right now Mysterio is happy with how his feud with Chris Jericho is going.
