Rey Mysterio is considering a return to one of the most recognizable presentation packages of his WWE career.
The masked icon has revealed that he has been thinking about bringing back his original WWE entrance theme, “Booyaka 619,” alongside the pop-up entrance that resurfaced at WrestleMania 42. Mysterio stopped short of confirming a date or a permanent change, but he indicated that fan enthusiasm for the older music has reinforced an idea that was already on his mind.
For a performer whose entrances have long been a major part of his connection with audiences, the possibility carries considerable nostalgic weight. Mysterio’s music, mask, movement and signature entrance visuals have helped make him one of wrestling’s most distinctive stars across multiple generations. A return to the familiar song and pop-up could create another major crowd reaction as he continues to compete late into his career.
Mysterio has retirement in mind when discussing the theme
Mysterio explained that he and those around him had been close with Matt One, identified as the original creator of “Booyaka 619,” while they were trying to make something local. While he spoke warmly about the later entrance music associated with the lyric, “Who’s that jumping out of the sky,” Mysterio acknowledged the special place the earlier theme occupies for many fans.

“We had been very close with Matt One, who is the original creator of Booyaka 619, and we were just trying to make something local. I did love, very much, that ‘who’s that jumping out of the sky,’ but I do think that because of that time, which was a very special time in wrestling, that song became very nostalgic, and it stuck with a lot of the fans.”
The former world champion said he has repeatedly heard from fans who favor the older song. In response to another such request, he said that feedback may have pushed him toward finally acting on the thought.
“You’re not the first person that tells me this, so now, after you said it, you kind of confirmed because I had it in the back of my mind: Man, I should bring that song out at least, you know, maybe for a period before I hang up the mask. So, I think the confirmation now came when you asked, and you said that’s your favorite song, so I might bring it back, just for a run. With the pop-up entrance too!”
That wording is important. Mysterio did not announce that the old theme will definitely return, nor did he set a timetable for its use. He framed it as a potential limited run before he eventually “hang[s] up the mask.” Still, his comments make clear that the prospect is under active consideration rather than merely being a fan fantasy.
The pop-up already made its WrestleMania 42 return
Mysterio has already revisited one half of that classic presentation. At WWE WrestleMania 42, he brought back the old pop-up entrance, reconnecting his current appearances with a memorable element from an earlier phase of his WWE run.
The pop-up was a fitting reminder of the speed, energy and visual creativity that have defined Mysterio’s career. Even as he has become one of the most experienced names in the ring, the entrance remains tied to the high-flying style and underdog identity that helped turn him into a global attraction.
Combining that visual with “Booyaka 619” would make the tribute more complete. Mysterio’s comments suggest he understands that nostalgia can be powerful when it is used at the right moment rather than treated as a routine feature every week. A temporary return would also give the entrance the feel of a special attraction as fans continue to follow the latter stages of his active career.
There is also a personal element in Mysterio’s remarks. He did not dismiss the theme that followed or reduce his history to one period. Instead, he spoke appreciatively about both songs while recognizing that certain eras become especially meaningful to an audience over time. That balanced approach leaves room for Mysterio to honor the past without suggesting that every previous evolution of his presentation has been replaced.
A defining part of Rey Mysterio’s WWE identity
Mysterio’s career has been built around an instantly recognizable identity. The masks, the 619, his explosive in-ring pace and the bond he has formed with younger fans have remained central through changing eras. Entrance music has naturally become part of that larger package.
For many viewers, the sound of “Booyaka 619” is attached to a period when Mysterio was one of WWE’s most prominent and beloved performers. His comments reflect the way fans often associate particular themes with specific moments, rivalries and chapters of a wrestler’s career. A song can become shorthand for an entire era, especially for someone with Mysterio’s longevity.
The possible revival is also notable because Mysterio specifically connected it to the period before retirement. While he did not provide any indication that retirement is imminent, he openly described a desire to potentially give the theme another run before he finishes competing in the mask. That gives any future use of the entrance added significance.
For now, there is no announcement regarding whether the theme would be used in WWE, at a special event, or in connection with another appearance. There is likewise no confirmation that it would become his full-time entrance music. The only certainty is that Mysterio has heard the call from fans and is seriously entertaining the idea of answering it.
Triplemanía 34 presents a major immediate challenge
Before any possible entrance-music change is revealed, Mysterio has a high-stakes match awaiting him at Triplemanía 34. He is scheduled to face Omos on night one of the event, and the outcome will directly affect Omos’ status in AAA.
If Mysterio defeats Omos, Omos will be permanently banned from AAA. If Omos wins, he will be fully reinstated. That reinstatement would allow Omos to accompany Dominik Mysterio to the ring on night two of Triplemanía 34, when Dominik defends the Mega Championship against El Grande Americano.
The stipulation gives Rey Mysterio’s bout consequences that extend beyond his own match. A win would remove Omos from the promotion permanently, while a loss would restore Omos’ ability to be at ringside for one of the weekend’s biggest championship matches. The issue also places Rey in a position where he can influence the environment surrounding his son’s title defense.
Dominik’s Mega Championship match against El Grande Americano already carries its own importance, but Omos’ potential involvement adds another layer to the situation. Rey’s meeting with Omos on night one will determine whether that ringside possibility exists at all.
Mysterio therefore enters Triplemanía 34 with both an immediate competitive task and an ongoing sense of reflection around his legacy. His remarks about “Booyaka 619” are not an official return announcement, but they offer a compelling possibility for fans who have wanted to hear the classic track again.
What comes next
The strongest takeaway from Mysterio’s comments is that he remains attentive to the relationship between his career history and the audience that has supported him. He knows the older theme continues to resonate, and he appears to see value in bringing it back at least temporarily before his in-ring journey ends.
Whether that happens soon or later remains unknown. It could arrive as part of a WWE moment, a special appearance or a carefully selected period in Mysterio’s remaining career. Until Mysterio makes a formal decision, the return of “Booyaka 619” and the pop-up entrance should be viewed as a possibility rather than a certainty.
But after the pop-up’s appearance at WrestleMania 42 and Mysterio’s own enthusiastic mention of pairing it with the classic music, the idea now feels closer than it did before. For supporters of that defining era, Mysterio has left the door open to one more run through the sky—complete with the sound that many still connect to the 619.
