Rey Mysterio injury update

[Chris]

Rey Mysterio is doing fine after suffering an injury on Friday night.

His match against Santos Escobar on SmackDown was stopped early when Mysterio was unable to continue. The situation was addressed by our own Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, who noted there was concern Mysterio may have suffered a concussion

Meltzer said:

"He's fine. He did the match with Santos Escobar last night and apparently, something happened, and I have to rewatch the tape, but I was told it was a move by Santos Escobar that knocked Rey silly but he continued to wrestle."

It is not clear what move led to Mysterio being "knocked silly." However, Meltzer continued to say it was not Escobar's suicide dive that caused the injury.

"The dive was the excuse to call the match off. Like, when he took the dive and they were attending to him and everything like that, they had already planned to stop the match. They stopped the match before the commercial break."
"He was selling a way to stop the match, he was not actually knocked out there, but he was dizzy before that. So, that's what I was told about how it went down. I don't think he had a concussion. If you watch it on TV, it looked like he did but it was a precautionary measure. They didn't know."
"I'm told he's fine. That's good, it looked like it could have been scary when he was laying there."

As a result of his victory over Mysterio, Escobar earned a United States title shot against Austin Theory on the August 11 edition of SmackDown.

Mysterio came into the match against Escobar after two big house shows in Mexico last weekend. He lost a Universal title match to Roman Reigns on a 7/22 show from Mexico City and then teamed with Cruz del Toro & Joaquin Wilde to defeat Imperium on 7/23 in Monterrey.

Someone posted a video on Reddit yesterday and it looked like he got knocked loopy when Santos did the... flying forearms?

I legit thought that was the only thing that it could have been. He really smacked the shit out of the back of his head on the floor so I wouldn't be surprised if he was not at all there from that point on.

Now I wait for all the people on Reddit, X, Facebook, etc to complain about him being a unsafe worker and WWE should fire him

Didn’t say anything about Twitter being named X.

Oh God, people are already calling twitter x. I hate it so much.

If Cassius Clay wants to be called Muhamed Ali.

 

[Cwalker]

Figured he got his bell rung.

Good to know it wasn’t more serious though.

Wishing him a speedy recovery.

"He got dizzy, but not after the spot you think it is, it was before, or it may not have been no body knows".

Dave get his bell rung?

As an aside, technically, Twitter can't legally be called X lol
