Rey Fenix replacing Rey Mysterio in WWE WrestleMania 41 match
Rey Mysterio is out of WrestleMania 41.
During the WrestleMania 41 pre-show, Rey Mysterio announced that he was injured during his match on SmackDown Friday and as a result, was not medically cleared to compete at WrestleMania. Mysterio then revealed that Rey Fenix would be replacing him in his match against El Grande Americano.
Mysterio teamed with Fenix and Dragon Lee on SmackDown to take on Chad Gable and American Made. During the middle of the match, Julius Creed grabbed Mysterio, injuring him. Fenix and Dragon Lee worked the rest of the match, with Fenix scoring the win for his team.
Dave Meltzer has reported that Mysterio suffered a torn groin.
Mysterio appeared on the pre-show as WWE officially announced that they had purchased AAA, with a Worlds Collide joint show with WWE, NXT, and AAA talent scheduled for June 7 at the Kia Forum.
