Mistico injury update: Potential return timeframe revealed
An update is available on Mistico.
The 2025 Wrestling Observer Newsletter Wrestler of the Year appeared on crutches at CMLL’s May 18 event in Puebla, announcing that he would not be able to perform on the show. He had been scheduled to team with Neon against Rocky Romero & Hechicero in the main event.
The nature of Mistico’s injury is unclear, although SuperLuchas reports the issue is believed to be a knee injury.
Our own Dave Meltzer addressed Mistico’s situation on Wrestling Observer Radio recently, stating that he had been told Mistico could return as early as Friday’s Arena México show.
Meltzer said:
“I have been told Místico could be back as early as Friday. We’ll see, but it’s not gonna be a long-term thing, I don’t think. Put it this way, they are under the impression he’s coming back soon. If he didn’t take time off, it would be a bad thing. He needed to rest. They rested him as expected. He was probably gonna come back real quick because, I mean, the guy’s the most valuable guy in wrestling. He’s just an incredible drawing card when you’re a house show business. He’s the guy.”
