A positive update has emerged on the status of injured WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio. A new report from PWInsiderElite.com has confirmed that Mysterio is “getting closer to returning to the ring” and is expected to be at the WWE Performance Center next week as part of the final process to be medically cleared. This is welcome news for fans, who have been without one of their most popular stars for the past five months.
According to the report, Mysterio, who has been out of action since April after suffering a torn groin over WrestleMania 41 weekend, is in the final stages of his recovery. “Mysterio… has not yet cleared but is expected to be at the WWE Performance Center next week as part of the process to officially return to action, we are told,” the report states.
Mysterio had publicly stated that he expected to be back in the ring last month, which indicates that his recovery may have taken slightly longer than he initially hoped. A torn groin is a difficult injury for any athlete to recover from, especially a high-flyer like Mysterio, and the company has been careful not to rush his return.
Before his injury, Mysterio was on Friday Night SmackDown and had a feud with Legado Del Fantasma and Santos Escobar. His son, Dominik Mysterio, has become one of the top stars on Monday Night Raw, holding the Intercontinental Championship.
The impending return of Rey Mysterio will be a welcome one for the SmackDown roster and gives the company a boost of star power. The full report on his status can be found on PWInsiderElite.com.
