Rey re-injured
By Brett Hoffman
Written: February 24, 2007On Friday Night SmackDown, Rey Mysterio planned to appear in front of a sold-out crowd in his hometown of San Diego to update the WWE fans on his condition following a career-threatening injury. Mysterio’s special appearance was ruined however, when Mr. McMahon and his WrestleMania 23 representative Umaga crashed the party and took out their frustration on the injured Superstar.
As a result of Umaga’s heinous actions towards Mysterio on SmackDown, the masked Superstar re-injured his already damaged knee, and his rehab will now be prolonged. Rey was shooting for a mid-March return in time for WrestleMania, but as of press time, there is no longer a timetable for Rey’s return to a WWE ring.
