The 2026 Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia is just around the corner, but WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio has recently faced an injury scare that has fans concerned. During a recent episode of Monday Night RAW, Rey Mysterio took on Austin Theory in a match arranged by Adam Pearce. The match was intense, with outside interference from members of The Vision adding to the chaos. In the end, Austin Theory managed to secure a victory over Rey Mysterio with a stomp that seemed to have injured the Master of 619’s shoulder.
Following the match, The Vision attacked Penta and Dragon Lee, but refrained from targeting Rey Mysterio after the referee signaled for medical assistance. It was later confirmed by Cory Hayes of BodySlam that Rey Mysterio was legitimately injured and had to be helped backstage by medical personnel.
As fans anxiously await an update on Rey Mysterio’s condition, there is speculation about his participation in the upcoming Royal Rumble event. If Rey Mysterio is unable to compete, Finn Balor could potentially take his place in the 30-Man Battle Royal. WWE has yet to release an official statement regarding Rey Mysterio’s injury, so supporters are advised to stay tuned for further updates.
In the meantime, our thoughts and prayers are with Rey Mysterio for a speedy recovery. It remains to be seen what the future holds for the legendary wrestler in WWE, but his health and well-being are the top priority.
