WWE Legend Finally Returns After 3-Month Absence Ahead Of SummerSlam
A WWE legend marked his return after being away from action for three months.
Rey Mysterio last wrestled on the April 18 episode of SmackDown, during which he suffered a torn groin. As a result, his match against El Grande Americano at WrestleMania 41 was called off.
The 3-time world champion was rumored to make his return to wrestling in August.
While he did not wrestle, he appeared at a recent live event in Mexico. A fan video posted on social media shows Mysterio receiving a loud pop from the audience in the arena.

Mysterio has yet to show up to a WWE taping, but his recent appearance came ahead of SummerSlam.
In no way does this indicate that he will compete at “the Biggest Party of the Summer,” but it remains to be seen what the Stamford promotion has in store for him.
Rey Mysterio Recently Discussed The Possibility Of A Heel Turn In WWE
Throughout his wrestling career, Rey Mysterio has consistently maintained a babyface persona.
During a recent media appearance, the WWE Hall of Famer was asked about a potential heel turn by WrestleZone.
Mysterio claimed the transition would be hard, and it would take a lot of negative reception from the fans for it to take effect.
They (fans) would really have to, like, push me to the edge. I mean, even my wife says, like, ‘I never see you get mad at anyone but me. Like, why do you not fight? You don’t fight with anyone, but when you want to fight, you fight with me.’ So, I mean, it would be very hard for me to get pushed.
I think the only time that I’ve been closest to becoming a heel, or I guess we were just having fun cuz that’s how we were, is Filthy Animals. That has been the closest, but overall, I just, uh, my personality, my demeanor is very laidback. So, I think it would be very hard.
With the El Grande Americano gig transferred from Chad Gable to Ludwig Kaiser, it will be interesting to see whether WWE wants to continue their feud.
