LAS VEGAS — Could a WWE Hall of Famer miss WrestleMania 41 due to injury?
Rey Mysterio is set to compete at WrestleMania 41 night one on Saturday against El Grande Americano, but there's concern for Mysterio's status after he appeared to suffer a legitimate injury on SmackDown. He was unable to finish the six-man tag team match against American Made on Friday night and had to be helped to the locker room by medical personnel.
The injury came less than 24 hours before Mysterio's 15th WrestleMania match, which means his status for WWE's flagship event could be up in the air. Here's what we know about Mysterio's health ahead of WrestleMania 41:
Mysterio teamed with Rey Fenix and Dragon Lee against Chad Gable and the Creed Brothers on SmackDown. It's unclear what happened in the ring, but in the middle of the match, Mysterio was outside of the ring being attended to by medical staff.
He appeared to be holding his left knee as he was attended to and the match continued. Fenix and Lee were able to pick up the win, and immediately after it ended, the two stars went to check-in on Mysterio. They could be seen talking and visibly looked concern as Fenix put his hands above his head.
Mysterio was then helped out to the backstage area. He wasn't putting any pressure on his left leg and was eventually carried off.
As of Saturday morning, Mysterio's match against El Grande Americano is still scheduled to take place during night one of WrestleMania 41.
WWE advertised the match on social media Saturday morning.
The status of the match could change as WrestleMania 41 gets closer to kick off, and if Mysterio is unable to go, he could be replaced by Lee or Fenix. It could work as El Grande Americano − really Chad Gable − has been on a quest to conquer the luchador-style of wrestling, and both Lee and Fenix not only fit the mold, but have shown frustration with the star.
However, with such late notice on the injury, the match could be canceled.
