Dominik Mysterio was notably absent at WWE Raw, March 16 th due to an injury of late. This came as a blow to the star in a high stakes match at AAA Rey de Reyes where he defended AAA Mega Championship against El Hijo de Vikingo in a No Disqualification match on the 14 th of March. Certain conditions were attached, where a defeat would be a doom that would send Mysterio out of AAA, but the same was not applied to Vikingo, who was not free to even challenge the title, so long as Mysterio retained it.
Fierce Championship Battle
The fierce rivalry was enhanced by Omos, Mini Vikingo and Dorian Roldan who contributed to the confusion within the ring. Mysterio leaned over the odds to win a much-contested match, hitting Vikingo with a chair shot, a 619 and a Frog Splash to win the pinfall and keep his title. Criticism of the match was very positive in terms of telling stories and making dramatic moves, but it came at a physical cost to Mysterio.
The next day Michael Cole was on the March 16th edition of Raw, to announce that Mysterio was not medically fit to compete. The fans instantly started worrying about the young star, whose presence was missed in the lineup.
Mysterio Injury Details
The latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Bryan Alvarez gave more information on the situation with Mysterio, stating that he is now under concussion protocol. No official time of when Dominik Mysterio will take to the ring was confirmed yet, Alvarez announced that Mysterio was in concussion protocol. The update makes it clear how severe the injury is and the interest of WWE in his recovery before he can be put back into action.
WWE Awaits Star
It is yet unknown when Mysterio will return to the WWE programming. It is the hope of the fans that he would be fully recovered and back to both his AAA and WWE engagements in a safe manner. Until this day, WWE roster will be deprived of one of its shining lights and the wrestling community is keen to follow his progress and health condition.
