Rey Mysterio officially returned to WWE during SmackDown 1000 as he defeated Shinsuke Nakamura in order to qualify for the WWE World Cup. He also wrestled in a great tag team match with Jeff Hardy at Hartford which you can check out here.
But Mysterio didn’t show up in Boston the next night and there was no reason given for his absence. There was a singles match in his place so Jeff Hardy fought Andrade Cien Almas by himself instead.
On the latest audio update of Wrestling Observer, Dave Meltzer speculated that Rey’s absence could be for a couple of reasons. This is what he said:
“So Orton & Mysterio — what happened was the first night in Hartford they had a great match it was Randy and Almas vs Rey and Jeff Hardy. The next night it was just Hardy vs Almas in a singles match. So that would indicate that something happened with Orton or Mysterio which would lead to the other not being there. I’m thinking it would be more Mysterio than Orton because people in Boston were very upset about no Mysterio they could care less about no Orton.”
“So you can always do something if nothing else people would have preferred to see Mysterio rather than Hardy against Almas and it actually would have been a hell of a match. But again, that’s another one that as of this moment I don’t know, those guys just weren’t on the show.”
Rey will also be appearing for Miz TV on this week’s Smackdown Live. We hope Rey isn’t injured and he will be fit to compete in all of his matches.
