After all the back-and-forth the majority of 2018, the day has finally come when Rey Mysterio officially returns to the WWE full-time tonight for the 1000th episode of SmackDown Live when he faces United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura in a World Cup Qualifier.

With his return set, many fans have wondered what type of schedule the multi-time World Champion will have as the amount of dates he would work for the company was reportedly a point of emphasis for Mysterio during negotiations. Previously, Rey had been added on for six shows at the end of this month and into early-November for SmackDown’s northeast loop and then events in the United Kingdom (see that here).

Now, WWE has added more dates for Mysterio. Here’s a look at his updated schedule for the remainder of 2018:

• October 20th – Hartford, Connecticut (Live Event)
• October 21st – Boston, Massachusetts (Live Event)
