Rey Mysterio, the celebrated WWE luchador, has been sidelined for several months following a left groin injury sustained during a six-man tag team match on the April 18 episode of SmackDown. This injury forced him to withdraw from his scheduled WrestleMania 41 bout against El Grande Americano, with Rey Fenix stepping in as his replacement. Mysterio underwent surgery to repair the injury and has yet to wrestle since, although he has appeared occasionally backstage and was seen at TripleMania XXXIII.
Recent reports from PWInsider Elite reveal that Rey Mysterio is close to resuming in-ring action and is expected to visit WWE’s Performance Center next week as part of his preparation for a full return. These developments mark significant progress in his recovery and hint at upcoming appearances within WWE programming.
Worlds Collide Event in Las Vegas to Feature Rey Mysterio’s Return
WWE’s Worlds Collide event, taking place this Friday in Las Vegas, will showcase talent from both WWE and AAA. Among the high-profile matches is AAA Mega Champion El Hijo del Vikingo defending his title against Dominik Mysterio. Recently, WWE Executive Triple H posted the promotional graphic for the event, prominently highlighting Rey Mysterio in the forefront. Although Rey is not currently booked to wrestle, this suggests he may make a surprise appearance during the show, potentially involving himself in Dominik Mysterio’s match. This will be Rey’s first WWE appearance since TripleMania XXXIII.
The timing and nature of his return remain uncertain, but the upcoming event could mark a pivotal moment as the legendary luchador reenters WWE’s spotlight.
Uncertain Path Ahead for a Wrestling Icon
Rey Mysterio’s return is highly anticipated by fans and officials alike, especially following his lengthy absence due to injury. His presence at Worlds Collide is expected to reignite storylines and revive his role within WWE. With his rehabilitation progressing at the Performance Center, a full return to competitive matches appears imminent, though WWE has not yet confirmed specific futures bouts. How this legendary figure will reintegrate into WWE’s evolving roster and story arcs remains a significant talking point heading into the coming months.
