Rey Mysterio Reportedly Injured on WWE Raw, Royal Rumble Status Uncertain

His participation for Saturday’s Royal Rumble remains in doubt pending a formal medical update from WWE.

Overview

  • Mysterio was hurt during a singles rematch with Austin Theory on the Jan. 27 episode of Raw.
  • Bryan Alvarez and Cory Hays reported the injury as legitimate, and Mysterio was taken backstage for medical attention.
  • The post-match segment was adjusted on-air as Mysterio stayed on the apron favoring his shoulder while staff checked on him.
  • Cameras cut away from a planned spear spot, and Penta ultimately absorbed the spear and a Tsunami instead.
  • WWE has not issued an official update, and Mysterio had recently returned from a November groin injury ahead of a planned Royal Rumble entry.
