Rey Mysterio, one of the biggest names in the WWE has been missing from in-ring competition since April when he suffered an injury on the SmackDown before WrestleMania 41.

This suggests that he is likely to miss SummerSlam, which is slated to be held on August 2 and August 3. Rey Mysterio tore his groin and busted his eardrum right before WrestleMania 41 in April. The groin injury occurred during a tag match on SmackDown. He also injured his eardrum around the same time. He later underwent surgery for the same. This injury forced him to miss WrestleMania 41, where he was to take on El Grande Americano in a grudge match. He was replaced by Rey Fenix in the bout, who lost. Rey Mysterio made his unofficial return to WWE programming at Worlds Collide in June and appeared during the opening segment. He, however, was not cleared to compete at the event. Is a Rey Mysterio-Penta feud on the cards? Penta has emerged as WWE's resident 'Luchador No 1' in Rey Mysterio's absence. The former AEW star even main evented Raw recently when he took on Seth Rollins in a losing effort. Penta squared off with Rey Mysterio in the Royal Rumble match and held his own against the veteran. It remains to be seen if the two lock horns or cross paths again once the 'Master of the 619' , who is being advertised for Survivor Series this November, returns to in-ring competition. He may also resume his feud with El Grande Americano.

Tony Khan should learn from WWE's mistakes as AEW 2025 All In gets ready for its third annual event
Tony Khan has been a messiah for All Elite Wrestling, shaping the brand into one of the biggest wrestling promotions in the world. While is still the big fish in the sea, AEW is making sure to mark its own authority, with many veteran WWE stars having joined the promotion after leaving the Stamford-based promotion behind. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Since its inception in 2019, AEW has marked many events like the WWE, and with its annual event All In coming at fans rapidly, Tony Khan should consider a few things. What Tony Khan could learn from WWE's mistakes? Remember how Rey Mysterio was going to fight El Grande Americano at WrestleMania 41? After Americano disrespected Mysterio's LWO partner Dragon Lee and unmasked him, decided to challenge Americano to a one-on-one fight at WrestleMania 41. But unfortunately, he revealed during the preshow for WrestleMania 41 that he had not been medically cleared to fight. This happened because he got injured the night before the Show of Shows at SmackDown and then had to pull out of his match against El Grande Americano, which was one of the most anticipated fights of the weekend.

With her having an important fight coming up against Nikki Bella at the time, as the two were supposed to fight each other on Evolution 2025, having Morgan go through such an intense match was a risk, which unfortunately did not pay off, and now she will be out with her shoulder injury for months. With All In: Texas happening on July 12 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, which is basically WrestleMania for AEW, Tony Khan should learn from WWE's mistakes and not have his wrestlers who will be the main attraction for the big night, perform any intense fights beforehand, which might cause issues like an unfortunate injury before the main event. PAC is already set to miss out on 2025 All In because of a leg injury, fingers crossed, no one else will be missing from it. Also Read:
