Update (Saturday afternoon): Michael Cole noted on today’s pre-show that Mysterio is a “game time decision” for tonight’s show.

Rey Mysterio may need to be replaced at WrestleMania after he appeared to suffer an injury on Friday.

Mysterio was teaming with Dragon Lee and Rey Fenix against American Made on SmackDown but spent the final minutes of the match being checked on by WWE medical personnel on the ringside floor. He was later seen hopping on one foot before being helped to the back.

Our own Bryan Alvarez has provided an update on the stiuation to his subscribers on X, writing that Mysterio could be replaced by Dragon Lee in his scheduled match against Chad Gable (as Grande Americano) at night one of WrestleMania.

Alvarez wrote:

“I am told still no word on Rey Mysterio, but Dragon Lee is the likely replacement if he can’t wrestle. They could do Fenix, but my presumption is el Grande needs to win the first match and they probably wouldn’t want to beat Fenix so early.”
