Rey Mysterio Undergoing Surgery for Torn Abductor Muscle

Rey Mysterio has announced he is undergoing surgery for a torn abductor muscle, an injury sustained during a six-man tag team match on WWE SmackDown just before WrestleMania 41. The match saw Mysterio team up with Dragon Lee and Rey Fenix to defeat American Made (Brutus Creed, Chad Gable, and Julius Creed). Originally scheduled to face El Grande Americano at WrestleMania 41, Mysterio was forced to withdraw, and Rey Fenix replaced him, ultimately losing to El Grande Americano. Mysterio initially hoped to compete despite the injury but ultimately recognized surgery was necessary. He informed fans of his condition and upcoming procedure via Instagram, expressing gratitude for their support and promising updates on his recovery. There is currently no official timeline for his return to the ring.
