Rey Mysterio Suffers Worrying Injury On WWE SmackDown
There is a major concern for one WWE WrestleMania match after Rey Mysterio went down with an injury on SmackDown.
Rey Mysterio is set to face El Grande Americano at WrestleMania 41, but before that bout, Mysterio teamed with Dragon Lee and Rey Fenix on SmackDown in Las Vegas to take on American Made’s Chad Gable – the unmasked El Grande Americano – and The Creeds.
As the match wore on, Mysterio appeared to be done as Lee and Fenix completed the match for their team. The worse news is that Mysterio had to be helped to the back as it appeared he had injured his knee.

Rey Mysterio Has Struggled With Injuries
Mysterio has had serious issues with his knees for decades and in 2024 underwent stem cell treatment for his knees, left shoulder, and wrists.
At the end of SmackDown, the match between Rey Mysterio and El Grande Americano was still a part of the rundown for WrestleMania 41, but it remains to be seen if it will take place at all or if Mysterio will need to be replaced.
If Rey Mysterio can compete, then it will be the 13th WrestleMania match of his career. The past two years have seen the WWE Hall of Famer defeat his son, Dominik Mysterio.
