WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio competed against Austin Theory, also known as The Vision, in a singles contest on Monday night’s episode of RAW. Theory secured the victory after interference from his faction, which then launched a post-match assault targeting Mysterio, Penta, and Dragon Lee.
Details of the Injury and Immediate Aftermath
According to Cory Hays of Bodyslam.net, Mysterio suffered a legitimate injury during the encounter and required assistance from medical personnel to leave the ring area. The specific nature and severity of the injury have not been disclosed, but updates are expected as more information becomes available.
The final move Mysterio endured was a stomp from Theory that resulted in the pinfall. During the subsequent attack, Mysterio remained mostly out of the action, as Penta absorbed a spear aimed at him.
