Many superstars have been away from the squared circle because of injuries. Rey Mysterio is a big name who went through surgery after his much-appreciated match against Logan Paul. Later, his surgery turned into a kayfabe injury after he got assaulted by Santos Escobar, imploding the Latino World Order.

The Luchador legend recently appeared on the Keepin’ It 100 Podcast and provided an update on his road to recovery. To the delight of his fans, Mysterio might be back sooner than later. He spoke about how it was his right knee that was actually causing him trouble. If one puts his statement in a plausible time frame, he could be back in time for the Royal Rumble 2024.

Anywhere from six to eight weeks. I'm about week four right now. This time, you put in all the years I've been favoring the right knee for the left one and finally I tore the meniscus on my right knee.

While Zelina Vega, Cruz Del Toro, and Joaquin Wilde sided with the Caribbean Cool, Carlito, the Emperor of Lucha Libre, didn’t back away from forming his own stable. Los Lotharios have recently joined Escobar to the repugnance of Zelina Vega.

If you come back from your match and ask Seth, ‘What did you think of the match?' Dominik is one of those guys, when he comes back, who gets critiqued by Seth because he always sees Seth by the monitor before he comes out and when he comes back. That’s good criticism.

All in all, Rey Mysterio has expressed his faith in the judgment of guys like Rollins and how they make the place much better.
