Mysterio, who has been rumored to want to jump ship for Mexico's AAA organization, recently had his contract renewed against his will by McMahon due to a clause in his contract that sited the company can renew pacts with talents that the company believes owes it time.
According to F4WOnline.com, there had been no contact between Mysterio and McMahon until they met with each other Monday night in Buffalo. It was the first time the two sides touched base since Mysterio last left the company earlier this year.

There is no update on a resolution to the problem as of now since there have been reports that Mysterio wants out of his deal while the WWE is looking to get at least another year out of him.
Mysterio has missed a lot of time over the years due to various injuries, and the WWE used the clause on him due to the feeling that he owed it time.
Mysterio reportedly was looking to leave the organization, but it's likely the WWE renewed his deal not only for the time he owed it, but also to keep him out of AAA where recently departed Superstar Alberto Del Rio is performing under the El Patron moniker.
Reports surfaced earlier this year that Mysterio had a handshake agreement with Triple H for the two sides to part ways, but this deal was broken up by Vince McMahon after he chose to use the option on Mysterio's contract. Mysterio is looking to jump ship for AAA, but the WWE looks to be keeping him from going.
Mysterio appeared in a vignette during AAA's TripleMania XXII event on Aug. 17 that aired on the same night as WWE's SummerSlam and he congratulated the promotion on 22 years of success. Mysterio also told the fans he'd see them soon, likely hinting at his desire to jump ship from the WWE.
At the end of the video, there was a graphic that said #FreeRey, alluding to his contract freeze with the WWE. The WWE was reportedly very angry over the vignette.
Mysterio hasn't appeared on WWE television since the Monday Night RAW episode after WrestleMania XXX in early April, and it appears he isn't willing to come back to the company at all.
Mysterio, 39, is a one-time WWE Champion and two-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
