Rey Mysterio, absent from WWE action for several months due to a serious injury, appears poised for a return soon. The Rey Mysterio WWE comeback seems closer following his recovery efforts after a torn groin sidelined him last spring.
Injury That Interrupted Rey Mysterio’s WrestleMania Plans
Rey Mysterio was scheduled to compete against El Grande Americano at WrestleMania 41 but was forced to withdraw shortly before the event after sustaining a significant injury. During a SmackDown match just a day prior, he suffered a torn groin while teaming with Dragon Lee and Rey Fenix against American Made. Despite his desire to perform at WrestleMania, medical advice required him to undergo surgery and pause his in-ring activities.
Steps Toward Medical Clearance and Return
Although Rey Mysterio initially indicated a potential comeback in August, that timeline passed without his return. Recent reports from PWInsider reveal that he is set to visit the WWE Performance Center this week to seek medical clearance to rejoin WWE programming. His occasional public appearances, such as presenting his son Dominik Mysterio with the AAA Mega Championship at the AAA Worlds Collide event, have kept fans hopeful for his near-future return to wrestling.
