Rey Mysterio had been away from WWE programming after he tore his groin on the go-home edition of SmackDown before WrestleMania 41. He was scheduled to wrestle El Grande Americano at The Showcase of The Immortals. However, the veteran was replaced by Rey Fenix, who lost the bout.

In a recent interview, the Master of the 619 revealed that he was also recovering from a busted eardrum. Only time will tell when Rey Mysterio returns to in-ring action. It will be interesting to see if he goes back to feuding with El Grande Americano after making the much-awaited return.
