Ahead of WWE WrestleMania 41, Rey Mysterio suffered a torn groin injury during a match on Friday Night SmackDown.

This caused the WWE Hall of Famer to be pulled from his scheduled match against El Grande Americano at Mania and he’s been sidelined for the past six months at the time of this writing.
