Rey Fenix Replaces Injured Mysterio at WrestleMania 41

Rey Mysterio suffered a legitimate lower-body injury during a six-man tag match on WWE SmackDown, preventing him from being medically cleared to compete at WrestleMania 41. WWE announced that Rey Fenix will replace Mysterio in his scheduled match against El Grande Americano (Chad Gable). The 50-year-old Hall of Famer's absence is a setback, especially after his recent return from knee surgery. This change ensures continued Lucha Libre representation at the event. The development comes as TKO finalizes its acquisition of AAA, and Rey Fenix prepares for his WrestleMania debut. Fans and the wrestling community have expressed concern and support for Mysterio as he recovers.
