Michael Cole Announces Sad Injury To Top WWE Star

It was left to Michael Cole to reveal that a major WWE star has been forced out of the ring due to injury.

On the January 26th edition of Raw, Rey Mysterio looked to get some measure of revenge on The Vision as he went one-on-one with Austin Theory. During the bout, Theory and Mysterio battled outside the ring with Mysterio hitting a hurricanrana, and things seemed to go very wrong.

Mysterio clutched his shoulder with the referee throwing up the ‘X’ sign to indicate a real injury. The Vision interfered and laid out both Penta and Dragon Lee, while Theory was able to hit a Stomp on Mysterio to quickly end the match and pick up the victory.

Despite that concern, Rey Mysterio made it to the Royal Rumble, where he was the fourth entrant in the men’s match. The WWE Hall of Famer couldn’t even last three minutes, however, as he was quickly dispatched by Oba Femi.
