Dominik Mysterio has provided a direct update to fans following his recent injury, assuring supporters that he intends to return to the WWE ring soon. The Dominik Mysterio injury update comes after Liv Morgan confirmed during this week’s RAW that the double champion would temporarily step away from competition due to his injury.
Mysterio Confirms Absence but Promises Quick Comeback
Coming off a successful run alongside Liv Morgan, with whom he reunited at the Survivor Series Premium Live Event (PLE), Mysterio’s momentum was halted by his injury. Their partnership proved fruitful, as Morgan played a pivotal role in helping Mysterio reclaim the WWE Intercontinental Championship, defeating the veteran John Cena in what turned out to be Cena’s final PLE match. This achievement allowed Mysterio to hold two championships simultaneously.
News of Mysterio’s injury was first shared by Liv Morgan on RAW, leaving the WWE Universe concerned about how long the double champion would be out of action. Addressing the situation directly on social media, Dominik Mysterio provided fans with a straightforward reassurance:
“I’ll be back soon,” wrote Dominik Mysterio.
John Cena Highlights Mysterio’s Willingness to Innovate
John Cena, the veteran wrestler and recent Grand Slam Champion, publicly praised Dominik Mysterio for his fearless approach to performing new acts on WWE programming. Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience, Cena reflected on the importance of taking risks and pointed to Mysterio as a rare example among current talent willing to experiment in front of television audiences.
“I learned how to fail in those non-televised events. I could take big swings (…) I don’t know how many people go out there, and just like Dom. Like that was an example of swinging big. ‘I’m going to fake ring the bell, right? Will people even get that? Who cares? Let’s try it.’ He’s the only one of those guys who will, or very few of those guys will stand on an idea like that. The other guys are like, ‘No, I want to have a good choreographed performance because I want my stuff to look good because it’s on television.'”
These comments from Cena come after the two clashed twice during Cena’s retirement tour, with Cena defeating Mysterio to capture the Intercontinental title and ultimately reaching Grand Slam Champion status. Their on-screen rivalry captured the attention of fans and added significance to Mysterio’s recent title run.
Judgment Day Faces Challenges with Key Members Out
Dominik Mysterio’s injury is not the only challenge facing the Judgment Day stable. JD McDonagh, another member of the faction, is also currently sidelined. With both members out of action, Finn Balor remains the sole active male competitor representing Judgment Day, highlighting the current struggles and uncertainty within the group on WWE programming.
What Lies Ahead for Mysterio and WWE
As fans await Dominik Mysterio’s return, the WWE landscape continues to shift, with the Intercontinental Championship scene potentially opening up to new contenders in his absence. Mysterio’s determination to come back soon, combined with support from the likes of Liv Morgan and recognition from veterans like John Cena, sets the stage for a dramatic and eagerly anticipated comeback. The wrestling community will closely monitor updates, and all eyes remain on Mysterio’s recovery journey.
