Last week on WWE SmackDown, a highly anticipated match between Rey Mysterio and Santos Escobar took place in the United States Title Invitational Final. However, the bout ended earlier than expected due to an unfortunate injury sustained by Mysterio.
During the match, Mysterio was knocked silly not once, but twice, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio. After the second incident, it was decided to call off the match and declare Escobar as the winner. WWE’s medical staff immediately attended to Mysterio to assess the extent of his injury.
As of now, there is no official update on the severity of Mysterio’s injury or how long he will be sidelined. Fans and fellow wrestlers alike are undoubtedly concerned about his well-being and eagerly awaiting any news regarding his return to the ring.
Despite the unfortunate circumstances, Santos Escobar now has a golden opportunity to challenge US Champion Austin Theory for the title. This showdown is scheduled to take place on the August 11 edition of SmackDown at the Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
