On Tuesday’s Super SmackDown show, both Sin Cara and Rey Mysterio were written off television as a result of beat-downs by The Shield. Sin Cara’s attack took place on the show, while Mysterio’s was a “phantom” attack that took place before the cameras were rolling. As we’ve been covering, Sin Cara been working through a legitimate knee injury, although the extent of the damage is unknown at this time. He will be taking time off and will get checked out by doctors to determine whether surgery is needed.
As for Rey Mysterio, the “severe neck injury” he suffered at the hands of The Shield is being used as a way to get him off television. WWE sources indicate that Mysterio is not injured and his departure from WWE television could be related to the confidential family situation that kept him off TV earlier this month. After briefly returning to WWE to wrestle at TLC and RAW, Mysterio flew back home to San Diego after RAW and is not expected back in the immediate future.
