WWE News: Rey Mysterio Suffered An Ankle Injury On Raw

A big matchup on Smackdown has changed overnight, again continuing the alteration tradition intact for the blue brand. The announcement from WWE’s official website confirmed Rey Mysterio vs. Andrade which always remains a major attraction for the fans. But just like last week’s fatal-4-way contender’s match, WWE scraped this match off the card.

This time around, Rey Mysterio suffering an injury caused the change in the lineup. He competed in a match on WWE Raw against Baron Corbin in the main event to pick up an ankle injury. As a result, he was unable to compete on last night’s episode of Smackdown Live. WWE.com confirmed it was the real reason behind the Master of 619 not competing on the show. Doctors will evaluate him further to determine whether he gets fit within Wrestlemania.

Samoa Joe competed against Ali in a singles contest to fill the void. Rey Mysterio was not present on this week’s Smackdown whereas Andrade ended up in an 18-person mixed tag team match. It was a horrible booking where utter chaos ensued during the match until Asuka threw away Jeff Hardy from the ring to stand tall.

As for Samoa Joe vs. Ali, it was not hard to predict who the winner would be. Joe is the United States Champion and hence picked up the win quite easily putting away Ali with the Coquina Clutch in no time.

Rey Mysterio is having a quite a busy week, as of now. He has already competed in the main event of WWE Raw from Washington, DC in a cross-brand match. Baron Corbin was his opponent in a match where he stood by his friend, Kurt Angle to protect his honor just five days ahead of Wrestlemania 35.

Then WWE.com announced another huge match for him on Smackdown Live. We expected to see another dream bout when two of the best athletes of Mexican wrestling history squared off against each other. Rey Mysterio was about to go up against Andrade renewing their rivalry on the blue brand that has already delivered some mega bouts in the past.

We also expected to see an interference during this contest since Rey Mysterio is up for another challenge at Wrestlemania 35. He will face Samoa Joe for the United States Championship and hence a final hype up around this match seemed evident. However, the match never happened as Samoa Joe instead faced Ali in a matchup to come out as the winner and pick up some big momentums.
