During the interview, Mysterio noted that prior to AAA appearance, Mysterio and Moreno had a talk, where Rey offered him to teach some of the rope skills in exchange for teaching him MMA. Although they talked as a joke, he believed that Moreno wil step inside the WWE ring following his MMA career in UFC.

“I saw a little bit of the footage on social media (of Brandon Moreno at AAA Triplemanía XXXI) and so, we had the podcast maybe a month before that happened and I was trying to convince him, ‘Bro, show me a little bit of MMA and I’ll teach you some of the ropes. Let’s get in the ring.’”

“He goes, ‘Ah! I would love to.’ So, we were kind of joking it out but I believe he does have a passion for wrestling, for lucha, you know, so I would love to interact with him more in the future and hope that maybe one day he decides to step in a WWE ring.”
