The much-anticipated Rey Mysterio WWE return after injury update is disappointing for fans, as recent news indicates that the Hall of Famer will likely remain sidelined until at least August. This comes after months of speculation about his comeback, following a serious injury that has kept him off WWE television for much of the year.
Groin Injury Forces Absence from Major Events
Earlier this year, Rey Mysterio suffered a torn groin, which forced him to miss some of the most important events on the WWE calendar, including WrestleMania. His absence from the ring was especially notable since he had to relinquish his spot at this high-profile event. Despite making an appearance at Worlds Collide, Mysterio was unable to compete due to his ongoing recovery.
Return Date Confirmed by Wrestling Veteran
Speculation about Mysterio’s return timeline ended when a respected wrestling veteran provided clear insight into the situation. During an episode of the Keepin’ It 100 podcast, Konnan, himself a seasoned figure in the wrestling world, offered a straightforward update on Mysterio’s status. “He’s not back till August,” said the legend. —Konnan, Wrestling Legend
Konnan also discussed future plans involving the masked superstar, shedding light on potential non-WWE appearances during his recovery.
“Yeah, he will be in future shows. Great working with him and Dom, and I can’t wait to see who else I’m going to get to work with.”

What Fans Can Expect in the Coming Months
With Konnan confirming that Rey Mysterio is not expected to return before August, anticipation builds around how the company will handle his reintroduction to WWE storylines. It remains uncertain if the Hall of Famer will immediately enter a new rivalry or take time to rebuild his momentum after this extended absence. Meanwhile, his possible involvement in future AAA shows keeps him connected to the wrestling community, even while he recovers. Fans and the wrestling industry alike will be closely watching for more updates as August approaches, hoping for a strong and memorable in-ring comeback.
