Early Optimism Surrounds Rey Mysterio’s Latest Injury – As noted, Rey Mysterio suffered an injury during his match on WWE RAW, but early indications suggest the situation may not be severe. According to Dave Meltzer, the belief right now is that the injury is “not serious,” though no specifics have been confirmed and it’s unclear whether Mysterio will miss any time. With the men’s Royal Rumble set for this Saturday in Saudi Arabia, more clarity on his status is expected soon.
The injury occurred during Mysterio’s match against Austin Theory. While the exact issue remains unknown, the aftermath raised concern. After the match ended, the referee quickly moved Mysterio out of the way as The Vision — Theory, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Logan Paul — launched an attack on Dragon Lee and Penta. The referee threw up the “X” signal, prompting medical attention as Mysterio held his ribs and arm. Earlier in the match, he also appeared to be limping.
The finish saw Theory score the win with a stomp after Mysterio became distracted by the ringside brawl involving The Vision, Lee, and Penta.
Mysterio, now 51, only recently returned to action in November after missing several months in 2025 due to a torn groin suffered before WrestleMania 41. His availability for the Royal Rumble will likely depend on how he responds over the next few days.
