Rey Mysterio injured during match for Northeast Wrestling
Just as rumors of him returning to WWE full-time have been going around, Rey Mysterio Jr. (Oscar Gutierrez) looks to have been injured.
Mysterio Jr. believed last night that he had torn his left biceps in a tag team match teaming with Flip Gordon against Joey Mercury & Caleb Konley in Waterbury, Connecticut for Northeast Wrestling.
We don’t have details other than he believed the muscle was torn during the match. There was heavy swelling in the arm according to those who saw him after the match but at this point we don’t have confirmation of the extent of the injury.
Mysterio Jr. told Mercury during the match about the injury and Mercury was ready to call an audible on the finish, but Mysterio Jr. immediately did the set up for a double 619 and ended up getting the win for his team by pinning Konley with a splash off the top rope.
