As of writing, the injury appears to be real. Many believe that Rey was injured during a ringside moment with Austin Theory, when he reversed The Vision member’s move and slammed him ringside.

During this, the WWE Hall of Famer might have suffered an injury and even caught himself checking after the spot. Despite this, Rey finished the match, but immediately afterward, the official threw the X sign for medical attention.

According to Cory Hayes of BodySlam, the veteran was legitimately injured on RAW and taken backstage by medical personnel.

All this confirms that the horrific incident on the Monday Night Show has led to Rey Mysterio suffering a real-life injury. Currently, there is no update on the Hall of Famer’s status for the Men’s Royal Rumble match, as he previously declared his official entry into the traditional match.

We at Sportskeeda wish the legend a speedy recovery and hope the injury is not serious.

Who can replace Rey Mysterio if he fails to enter the WWE Royal Rumble match?

If Rey Mysterio fails to enter the match, Adam Pearce may announce his replacement in the coming days or during the Saudi Arabia premium live event. One of the major stars who badly wants this spot is Finn Balor.

The Judgment Day member approached Adam Pearce for a Rumble spot but was denied, as the slots were already full. With Rey’s failure to compete in the match after the horrific incident, Balor may likely attempt to take his place in the contest.

Besides this, WWE can execute a surprise entrance as Mysterio’s replacement. Also, TNA stars can enter the traditional Rumble match, and Triple H can call them up if the legend fails to recover in time.

Rest, it remains to be seen what will happen at WWE Royal Rumble and whether Rey will manage to enter the contest.
