Mysterio Possibly Injured

[dxbang]

I’m told Rey Mysterio injured his bicep (possibly torn) during a tag match for Northeast Wrestling against Joey Mercury and a partner. If actually torn, this would not allow him to participate in his rumored Wrestlemania match and may even put a halt to his potential WWE return in general.

Got this news from a friend that attended the event.

I know I'm not the only one to have expected a knee injury.

But in all seriousness, that sucks for Rey. He looked in the best shape I've seen him in years at the Rumble.

Wow, it's like he's back already!

[Juice]

1) not surprised
2) not confirmed-a person in a crowd cannot determine extent of an injury.

[Hypnosis]

Really unfortunate.  I thought he did well on his Rumble performance this year.

Count me as someone else who thought it was going to be his knee again.

Keeping the thread open, but changing the title until another source comes out.

-- Rey Mysterio may have suffered a potentially serious injury last night in a tag team match for Northeast Wrestling. Teaming up with Flip Gordon and taking on Joey Mercury & Caleb Konley, Mysterio reportedly tore his left bicep but was able to finish the match and score the pinfall on Konley for his team.

-- There isn't much in the way of details on the extent of the injury, but it is believed he suffered the injury sometime during the match and in the backstage area following the bout, he believed the bicep to be torn as there was significant swelling in the area.

-- If this is indeed a torn bicep, it would be an unfortunate turn of events for Mysterio given the recent rumors suggesting that he would be signing with and returning to WWE in the very near future, possibly in time for WrestleMania 34.

Why is he wrestling for Northeast Wrestling when he has a big NJPW match this month?

Still not confirmed.

Maybe Cena really DOESN'T have a path to Wrestlemania.

POSSIBLE REY MYSTERIO INJURY CLOUDS IMMEDIATE FUTURE
by Mike Johnson @ 10:58 AM on 3/4/2018

Rey Mysterio is believed to have suffered a torn bicep during the main event of Northeast Wrestling's Wrestlefest in Waterbury, CT this past Friday, PWInsider has learned. In that bout, Mysterio teamed with Flip Gordon against Joey Mercury and Caleb Konley.

Our own Paul Crockett filed the following report on the match: "I wouldn’t call this the smoothest encounter I’ve ever seen, but as far as building heat to a hot tag, then building heat to an even hotter tag that lead to an explosion after the finish, this was effective. Rey is a superstar for a reason, and Flip is building his way to eventually becoming one. Flip benefited greatly from being in there with him. The finish saw Rey hit a double 619, followed by a top rope splash on Konley for the win."

It should be noted that as of this writing, the injury has not been confirmed as Mysterio was going to have it examined upon his return home to California. Mysterio's arm was swollen after the bout and the injury is believed to have occurred in the final minutes of the bout.

The sad timing of the potential injury is that, according to WWE sources, Mysterio was originally slated to meet with Triple H at WWE HQ in Stamford, CT prior to the NEW event to try and lock down terms of a new contract with the company. The meeting was postponed after HHH was needed to go to Saudi Arabia to finalize a new contract there that would see WWE locked in to produce live events in that country over the next decade.

Mysterio had been on WWE's radar since his surprise return at the Royal Rumble in January, which easily received the biggest reaction of anything on the show up until that point. That opened WWE up to signing a new deal with Mysterio, where before, previous talks had stalemated over Mysterio wanting a part-time deal and WWE management insisting on a full-time return.

Mysterio is also slated to wrestle Jushin Liger at the 3/25 New Japan Pro Wrestling "Strong Style Evolved" event in Long Beach, CA.

Now, all of that is up in the air until Mysterio gets this potential injury diagnosed.

Rajah is a joke of a news site that is known for stealing content or making shit up for clicks, people are wise not to trust it.

Poor Guy. But I concur that with two potential huge paydays coming up maybe wrestling an indie show is a bad idea. Surely he doesn’t need the money.

Yeah, I mean the joke of any post with may or may not ending with -Rajah.com exists for a reason.

They are a pretty untrustworthy source.
