WWE Legend Reveals Why 7-Foot Giant Doesn’t Scare Him

• Rey Mysterio is putting his authority on the line against a suspended 7-foot-3 superstar who attacked him
• The WWE Hall of Famer has spent his entire career proving size doesn’t matter in the ring
• If Mysterio loses, the giant returns to AAA’s roster — if he wins, the threat is gone forever

Rey Mysterio has faced down giants his entire career. Tonight, he’ll do it again — this time with his authority as AAA General Manager on the line.

The WWE legend is set to take on 7-foot-3 behemoth Omos at Triplemania 34 Night 1 in Las Vegas. It’s a homecoming for Mysterio, who competed in the very first Triplemania back in 1993 when he was known as Rey Misterio Jr.

“It’s a very special moment for me in so many ways,” Mysterio told OutKick Dropkick.

“The fact that I’m now the new GM of AAA. The fact that AAA was the first company that opened the doors for me and I was at the very first AAA show back in ’92. I was at the very first Triplemania in ’93. So, to see this come full circle and to be in the position where I’m at now, it’s been an amazing ride, man.”

The stakes couldn’t be higher. Mysterio suspended Omos after the giant injured wrestler Galeno and attacked him in August. But Omos wasn’t done — he showed up at Ola de Color as a paid spectator and attacked Mysterio again, this time with help from Dominik Mysterio.

If Rey loses Friday night, Omos gets reinstated to the AAA roster. If he wins, Omos is banned from AAA forever.

Despite the size disadvantage and the stakes, Mysterio isn’t intimidated. He’s spent his entire career proving that heart beats height.

“I’ve felt his power. Very strong dude. Very intimidating,” he said of Omos.

“But it doesn’t faze me. I’ve seen giants before. I was just saying a minute ago, from the moment I started training at 8 years old, I was the smallest kid in the class. The youngest kid after me was probably 16, 17. They were obviously much bigger than me. I’ve always been in the ring with bigger people, bigger opponents, so, it doesn’t faze me. I’m not scared. I’m motivated. I’m antsy to step in the ring and I’m looking forward to tonight.”

For Mysterio, this match is about more than personal pride — it’s about establishing authority. As GM, he can’t let any wrestler think they can intimidate him or disrespect the position.

“As a GM, I need to make a statement that no superstar or Luchador in the AAA locker room is going to try to intimidate me as the GM for AAA,” he explained.

“And they have to know their boundaries and they have to not step over those boundaries and respect authority. In this case, this is what I had to do for Omos to respect some authority.”

This is the first time Triplemania has ever been held across two nights and in two different countries. Night 1 takes place Friday at the MGM Garden Arena in Las Vegas, while Night 2 is set for Sunday at Arena CDMX in Mexico City. Both events begin at 10 p.m. ET and can be seen on YouTube.

Mysterio’s journey from an 8-year-old underdog to WWE Hall of Famer to AAA General Manager is a testament to perseverance and faith in one’s abilities. He’s never let size determine his destiny.

Americans deserve better.
