WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio Expected to Return August After Injury

WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio has been sidelined since late March due to a torn abductor muscle requiring surgery, along with a damaged eardrum, which forced him to miss WrestleMania 41. Despite his injuries, Mysterio made a non-wrestling appearance at the WWE x AAA Worlds Collide event in early June, celebrating the WWE-AAA partnership and the legacy of Lucha Libre. Wrestling veteran Konnan, on his Keepin’ It 100 podcast, revealed that Mysterio is expected to return to in-ring action in August and will participate in future WWE-AAA crossover events. Mysterio is also advertised for live WWE events in Mexico in late July, though it remains unclear if these appearances will involve wrestling or be non-physical. The reduced number of WWE house shows has drawn criticism as injuries like Liv Morgan's have increased, highlighting concerns about wrestlers’ conditioning and readiness. Overall, Mysterio's return is highly anticipated, with speculation about how WWE will reintroduce the veteran superstar in the coming months.
