Rey Mysterio Cleared for Royal Rumble After Injury Scare

Rey Mysterio is confirmed to participate in the upcoming Royal Rumble following concerns about a potential injury. The WWE Superstar had sparked worries during the latest episode of RAW when he appeared to suffer an arm injury in his match against Austin Theory, but recent developments have reassured fans about his condition.

Signs of Recovery Evident in Recent Appearances

On January 28, Mysterio shared a group photograph on Instagram taken in Saudi Arabia alongside WWE talents Liv Morgan, Jade Cargill, Jacob Fatu, and Raquel Rodriguez. Although he did not explicitly mention his injury, his active presence in Riyadh just days before the event strongly indicates that he is fit to compete.

Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer previously reported that the injury was not severe, a view now supported by Mysterio’s public update. This relief arrives after Mysterio had returned in November 2025 from a challenging seven-month absence caused by a torn groin, making another injury so close to a major event particularly concerning.

Anticipation Builds for Mysterio’s Performance at the Royal Rumble

The masked wrestling legend appears prepared to step back into the ring, dispelling fears that the injury might force him out of one of WWE’s biggest annual matches. Fans and critics alike are eager to see if Mysterio can once again deliver a memorable performance in the Royal Rumble, potentially adding another chapter to his storied career.

As excitement grows, the wrestling community awaits to see if Mysterio will produce a final Rumble moment that surprises and delights audiences worldwide.
