Rey Mysterio Confirms Injury Ahead of WrestleMania 41

At WWE WrestleMania 41, Dominik Mysterio won his first Intercontinental Championship in a Fatal 4-Way match, defeating Penta, Finn Balor, and Bron Breakker, with the crowd showing strong support as he paid homage to his father, Rey Mysterio, with a Frog Splash. Rey Mysterio was unable to compete at the event due to a torn groin injury suffered on WWE SmackDown, which was later confirmed by Mysterio himself. Despite their on-screen rivalry, Rey expressed immense pride in his son's accomplishments and growth as a WWE superstar. Additionally, Rey commented on WWE’s acquisition of lucha libre promotion AAA, calling it a dream come true and highlighting its significance for the global representation of Lucha Libre. He reflected on his beginnings with AAA and welcomed the forthcoming merger’s cultural impact, including the revival of the Worlds Collide event.
