Rey Mysterio was set to compete at WWE WrestleMania 41. However, he suffered an injury just days before the show.
Mysterio was originally scheduled to face El Grande Americano. He got injured on the April 18th episode of WWE SmackDown, just one day before WrestleMania 41. After getting injured in his match, officials had to carry him to the back.
Due to the injury, WWE replaced Mysterio with Rey Fenix, who went on to lose to Americano. At first, Mysterio confirmed he was dealing with a groin injury. However, after a month away from action, he revealed that it wasn’t the only issue.
Rey Mysterio had more than a torn groin
In an interview with Jim Varsallone, Rey Mysterio shared that he also suffered a blown eardrum in addition to the torn groin. He said, “No, not easy (to stay on top in the wrestling industry). Obviously, with the amount of injuries that I’ve had over the years. I’m actually recovering from one that I just had right before WrestleMania. A torn groin and a busted eardrum.”
“I still love doing what I do, I definitely believe that I picked up my second wind when my son started to wrestle and he broke in for the first time. Although he’s been around since he was seven years old. When we had the storyline with Eddie Guerrero and the custody of Dominik (Mysterio). But overall, the passion that I have for the sport, I wanna consider myself a peacemaker.”
“I don’t have any problems, at least I don’t think I do, with any of my colleagues, with my fans around the world. I like to connect and some way, that keeps me pushing forward and loving. What I’ve been doing for the past three, four years, or should I say from the age of four when I started training. So, the connection is definitely still there, I enjoy doing it. I enjoy watching my son… It’s a diversity of fans and to be able to travel around the world and connect with all these fans, at times, has been just amazing. The love and support that they show is like no other.” [H/T: Fightful]
