Latest update on Rey Mysterio's WWE in-ring return amid hiatus since WrestleMania 41

The Hall of Famer has been sidelined since April due to injury.

WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio has been absent from WWE programming since April, as he was sidelined due to injury. Mysterio was set to battle El Grande Americano at the ‘Grandest Stage’; however, he was replaced by Rey Fenix due to injury.

In a shocking turn of events on the final episode of SmackDown before WrestleMania 41, Mysterio suffered an injury during a six-man tag team match alongside Dragon Lee and Rey Fénix against American Made (Chad Gable & the Creed Brothers).

Rey Mysterio is expected to return to the WWE Performance Center

Rey Mysterio suffered a torn groin and ruptured eardrum and has undergone surgery and a lengthy rehabilitation process.

Mysterio has been making multiple appearances during AAA shows, but has yet to make his in-ring return. According to Mike Johnson of PW Insider Elite, Mysterio is expected to be back at the WWE Performance Center this week as he continues his recovery and progresses toward receiving medical clearance for an in-ring return.

His upcoming visit to WWE’s training facility in Orlando, Florida, represents a significant step in his recovery process and suggests that his return to television may be just around the corner.

Reports suggest major plans for Mysterio within its ongoing partnership with AAA. According to an earlier report from WrestleVotes Radio, the promotion has plans to feature Mysterio in a “major role” as part of the AAA crossover initiative.

The same report indicated that WWE is exploring the possibility of holding another co-branded streaming event with AAA before the end of 2025, with Survivor Series weekend in San Diego, Mysterio’s hometown, being considered as a potential location.

Rey’s son, Dominik Mysterio, is currently the AAA Mega Champion, and the storyline between the two can be utilized to set up an exciting clash between the two, possibly for the AAA event, which is reportedly planned before the end of 2025.
