Rey Mysterio appears to be getting close to a full in-ring return. The WWE Hall of Famer is expected to be at the Performance Centre next week to begin the final procedures for his comeback, according to a new report. (h/t PWInsider)
Mysterio has been sidelined with a groin injury suffered earlier this year. While recovering, he has made sporadic television appearances, primarily popping up in segments related to Lucha Libre AAA.
His injury notably forced a major change to long-term plans for WrestleMania 41, where he was scheduled to face El Grande Americano. In his absence, Dragon Lee was tapped as the replacement for that high-profile match. With his recovery now reaching its final stages, the path is clearing for the legendary luchador to get back to a regular schedule.
The Veteran’s Road Back
At 50 years old, this return marks another chapter in Mysterio’s storied career, as he looks to re-establish his presence on the active roster following the significant injury layoff.
