Rey Mysterio reveales potential WWE return timeline

On SmackDown after WWE Crown Jewel 2023, LWO developed an internal dispute, where Carlito blamed Santos Escobar for Rey Mysterio’s United States title loss to Logan Paul, as he was the one who left the brass knuckle for Logan to dethrone Rey. The issue developed as Escobar attacked Rey Mysterio to leave LWO and injured Rey’s knee by squashing his knee between the stairs.

Rey on his social media handle reported that he had knee surgery and warned Santos Escobar that he will come back with vengeance. Following the announcement, Haus of Wrestling reported that Mysterio could have a long hiatus possibly between six to eight months. However, the Ultimate Luchador reveals his injury status and possible return.

Rey Mysterio’s WWE return

The Ultimate Luchador recently appeared for a chit-chat with Baker Banter, where Rey was asked about his possible return. To which Rey replied that he is working hard physically to return to television soon and most possibly by WWE Royal Rumble or shortly after the PLE.

Rey said,

“I’m really working hard on my physical therapy. I just had knee surgery, thanks to Santos Escobar, and his time will come eventually. I do hope that I can return for the Rumble, if not shortly after that. I am working very hard to make my return as soon as possible.”

It seems like Rey Mysterio hasn’t forgiven Santos Escobar for what he had done to him and LWO. There have been a lot of rumors backstage about the potential WrestleMania plans to have Six Man Tag Team match between, Team Rey Mysterio involving LWO and Team Escobar involving his new teammates, Angel Garza and Humberto Carillo, however hasn’t been confirmed yet.

It would be exciting to see Rey Mysterio back on television and how the feud between the fellow Latinos is built. Rey Mysterio also had signed a multi-year contract with the company with a number of compensation. It would be great to see how his new deal and his return would play out.
