Rey Mysterio's been wrestling since the early 90s. The only one that could have come close to being the Mysterio replacement was Kalisto and they just never pushed the trigger on that one.
They tried. They put the US title on him I think twice. He just never caught on.

Obviously they tried with Sin Cara and even Del Rio. None of them were Rey

Well Del Rio wasnt a high flyer and when he debuted he was a heel. His english also wasnt the best either so that didnt help him either. Sin Cara on the other hand, when he was there, apparenly he was a major merch pusher because of his mask.

I dont think Carlito is actually IN the LWO, just an associate.

If we’re questioning Calrito’s status, we gotta question Bad Bunny’s too

Dragon Lee signed his new main roster deal last week. Basically it made it worth it to him of having signed the NXT deal rather than the offered AEW deal. As noted, he went to people who knew the U.S. scene who told him he’d be lost in the shuffle in AEW. Previously people would have said not to go to WWE given their track record with all the wrestlers who came from Mexico besides Alberto Del Rio.

Didn't they just randomly have this guys mask taken off after a match in AEW with no follow up or reasoning for it?

Santos/Del Toro/Wilde (Legado Del Fantasma) vs. Rey/Carlito/Lee (the LWO) would be a good 6-man feud. immediately coming out of the breakup. Then Lee/Escobar becomes the long-term feud and Rey/Carlito tag for a while.
