Rey Mysterio is in Saudi Arabia despite his injury.
The WWE Hall of Famer suffered an injury during his latest Raw match against Austin Theory. He appeared to have hurt his knee during a hurricanrana attempt outside the ring, and the injury was confirmed when the referee threw the X sign.
PWInsider provided an update on the status of the Luchador ahead of the Royal Rumble. They confirmed that Rey Mysterio has travelled to Saudi Arabia with the rest of the WWE crew. The site also revealed that it's actually a rib issue that the veteran is dealing with, instead of the knee injury as originally believed.
They could not provide an update on the severity of the injury, so Mysterio's status for the annual battle royal remains uncertain. The officials not pulling him off the long trip to Saudi Arabia, however, suggests that the injury is not very serious.
While the status of Rey Mysterio remains a mystery, there are a couple of other names that seem to be on the road to a Royal Rumble return. You can check out more about it here.
