Tony Khan's favorite suffers an unfortunate setback; doctor's statement revealed

Tony Khan's admiration for CMLL star Mistico is well documented. The luchador recently suffered a major setback. The veteran has performed in the Jacksonville-based company as part of AEW's relationship with CMLL. He made his AEW debut in October 2023.

The erstwhile Sin Cara suffered an injury in Japan in February 2025, but he still continued to wrestle even though he was not able to perform at full capacity. But recently, the doctors advised the 42-year-old to take some time off to recover. Thus, CMLL informed fans a few days ago that Mistico would be out of action for a couple of weeks.

Mistico and Dr. Roberto Rodriguez had an interview on the latest edition of CMLL Informa. During the interview, the CMLL star revealed that he had torn his right tricep partially and injured the ligament on his right ankle. Although the injuries are not serious, he needs rest to rehabilitate. His doctor stated that the former WWE Superstar would need two to three weeks to recover.

Tony Khan's favorite wrestler was scheduled to defend his MLW World Middleweight Championship against Templario at MLW Battle Riot VII on April 5. However, he'll miss the event due to the abovementioned injury. The Mexican is also set to miss other scheduled dates.
