Rey Mysterio helped to the back following WWE SmackDown match
Rey Mysterio appeared to suffer an injury during WWE SmackDown.
Friday’s show saw Mysterio team with Rey Fenix and Dragon Lee to take on Chad Gable & The Creed Brothers. At some point during the match Mysterio suffered an injury, as Fenix and Lee worked the final few minutes of the match with Fenix scoring the win following a meteora.
Fan footage showed Mysterio being checked on by WWE medical and his tag team partners. Another video showed Rey Mysterio being helped to the back, first hopping on one leg before ultimately being carried backstage. Mysterio has had knee problems dating back to the 1990s, undergoing several procedures. Last year, he underwent stem cell therapy for his knees, wrists, and left shoulder.
Mysterio is scheduled to face El Grande Americano at WrestleMania 41 Saturday. He and the rest of the LWO have spent the last several weeks feuding with Gable and American Made, who have consistently denied that Gable is Americano under the mask.
