WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio Nears August Return From Groin Injury

WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio is on track to return to the ring by August after suffering a torn groin during a six-man tag match on SmackDown prior to WrestleMania 41, which forced him out of his scheduled bout against El Grande Americano. Mysterio described the injury as a freak accident that happened during a simple movement when he chased an opponent who bailed out of the ring, causing him to tear his groin upon pushing off with his left leg. In addition to the groin injury, Mysterio also addressed a busted eardrum that required surgery during his recovery period. Despite hints at retirement as he neared 50, Mysterio remains active and connected with fans, aiming to return to performing and WWE's live events, including appearances in Mexico this summer. His return is expected to be a significant boost for WWE, especially with the company resuming international touring. Meanwhile, his son Dominik Mysterio is also dealing with a rib injury, affecting his scheduled match at Night of Champions.
