WWE fans angry as Rey Mysterio has his face exposed after Andrade rips off sacred mask on RAW

Rey Mysterio competed on Raw last night for the chance to face AJ Styles for the United States title at SummerSlam in just under two weeks.

Although he impressed in the gauntlet match, ultimately, old rival Andrade would defeat him.

Following the match, Andrade ripped off Mysterio’s mask and fans were left fuming at WWE’s decision to do that.

While this is almost certainly set to kick off a feud between the Mexicans again – possibly hair Vs mask match? – fans felt that a lucha star’s mask is something sacred.

Of course, Mysterio has lost his mask once before during his WCW days. However, during his run with the WWE that has stretched back to 2002, he has never been properly demasked.

Mysterio cut an interview about the incident later after RAW where he mentioned that only Eddie Guererro and Randy Orton had ever gotten Mysterio’s mask off – though you never saw his face – but Andrade was the first man to rip it.
