Injury Update On Mistico, Possible Return Timeframe

Mistico has been out of action for the past week, and a new report has an update on the AEW & CMLL star’s injury status. Mistico announced at CMLL’s show in Puebla, Mexico last Monday that he would not be able to participate in his scheduled match alongside Neon against Rocky Romero & Hechicero. He was using crutches during the announcement. SuperLuchas reported that it was a knee injury.

The latest Wrestling Observer Radio episode featured an update on Mistico. Dave Meltzer noted that he “could be back as early as Friday” at CMLL’s show in Arena Mexico, according to sources. He noted that the injury wasn’t going to be a long term thing and that the World Light Heavyweight Champion needed to take some rest.

Meltzer added that Mistico “was probably gonna come back real quick because — I mean, the guy’s the most valuable guy in wrestling. He’s just an incredible drawing card when you’re a house show business.”

Mistico last competed on the May 17th CMLL/Alto Voltaje show in Monterrey, Mexico where he teamed with his El Sky Team allies in Mascara Dorada and Neon to defeat Los Guerreros Laguneros. As has been noted, he signed to a dual AEW/CMLL contract.
