Last year, WWE held Starrcade in Greensboro, North Carolina, as a house show that didn't air on television or the WWE Network.
It hasn't yet been announced if this year's edition of Starrcade will air.
On Tuesday, Mysterio beat Nakamura in the main event of SmackDown 1000 qualify for the WWE World Cup tournament at Crown Jewel on Nov. 2.
Mysterio is now back on a full-time basis after largely spending the past three years away from WWE.
He did make a surprise appearance in the Royal Rumble match in January, though, which led to his entry into the Greatest Royal Rumble in April.
The 43-year-old future Hall of Famer appears to be in line for a big push on SmackDown Live, and a feud with Nakamura may be the ideal way to beef up the blue brand's midcard moving forward.
