BIG NAME IN NASHVILLE FOR GFW TALKS

As Dave Scherer noted earlier today on PWInsider.com, former WWE World champion Rey Mysterio Jr. was in Nashville last night and met up with several WWE talents who were in town for Raw.

Mysterio and Konnan were in Nashville as Mysterio met with Global Force Wrestling officials earlier in the day to negotiate a deal with the company, PWInsider.com has confirmed. We are told by several sources that Mysterio "has a contract offer in his hands."

Mysterio was last seen on The El Rey Network's Lucha Underground series, which is completing the airing of its third season shortly. A fourth season has not yet been announced. Mysterio signed a "first look" deal with the cable network in 2016 to develop projects for the star, but as of this writing, nothing has been green-lit.

Mysterio left WWE in 2015 following a long run there that including winning several WWE World championships, including a Wrestlemania 22 win over Randy Orton and Kurt Angle. Over the course of his career, Mysterio has been a major attraction for ECW, AAA and WCW as well.
