AEW and CMLL star Mistico announced at a CMLL event in Puebla, Mexico, last Monday that he would be unable to compete in his scheduled match alongside Neon against Rocky Romero and Hechicero. During the announcement, he was seen using crutches.
According to SuperLuchas, Mistico is currently sidelined due to a knee injury. Dave Meltzer, in the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, mentioned that Mistico could potentially return as early as Friday at CMLL’s show in Arena Mexico, according to sources. Meltzer also indicated that the injury is not expected to be long-term, and that the World Light Heavyweight Champion simply needs some rest.
Meltzer further stated that Mistico is likely to make a quick comeback, emphasizing that he is one of the most valuable wrestlers in the industry and a significant draw for house shows.
Mistico last competed on May 17 at the CMLL/Alto Voltaje show in Monterrey, Mexico, where he teamed with his El Sky Team allies, Mascara Dorada and Neon, to defeat Los Guerreros Laguneros. It’s worth noting that he has signed a dual contract with both AEW and CMLL.
