WWE star Rey Mysterio's future in WWE is in question, according to multiple reports on Mysterio's current standing with the company.

Mysterio tweeted on Monday that he's "on a mission" to rehab his latest knee injury, which he said earlier this month will not require another surgery.

However, Mysterio's body has been ravaged by injuries in recent years and he has two strikes on WWE's Wellness Policy, making him a "special attraction" star, at best.

Rey's days as a regularly-featured star seem to be behind him, creating an internal conflict in WWE on whether they should take another chance on Rey's health and get the most out of one of their most-popular stars of the last ten years.

With the Latin American market drying up in 2012, Rey's status has created a greater sense of urgency to get Alberto Del Rio up and running as a popular, top-line star. However, Del Rio's initial babyface run has not taken off to the level WWE would have hoped, especially feuding against polar-opposite heel Jack Swagger. WWE even kept Swagger on TV following his DUI arrest in February to continue using Swagger as a means to elevate Del Rio.

The other option is Sin Cara, but Cara has struggled to connect with the audience because of the language barrier and WWE is also hesitant to elevate Cara because of injury issues during his initial run.

Because Mysterio is a legacy star, is one of the most tenured wrestlers on the roster, has massive merchandising potential, and can still deliver in the ring if he's healthy, it adds up to WWE giving Rey some time to get healthy again for another run.

I'd say he go into semi-retirement and act as Sin Cara's manager with the occasional tag team match.

To update the rumors on Rey Mysterio possibly leaving WWE, word now is that he may actually be looking to be released and WWE is considering granting it if they can keep merchandise rights. Other sources note that the company wants him to stay and will do everything they need to do in order to keep him from leaving. It all depends on who you believe.
