The Eye for an Eye match between Seth Rollins and Rey Mysterio

Rey Mysterio and Seth Rollins unsurprisingly put on a really solid match until the gnarly finish. They both, as expected, targeted the eyes with vario as that was the stipulation of the match.

However, there were many moments from the match that the fans will remember fondly. There was some good back-and-forth action and also a spot in which Rey Mysterio hit Seth Rollins with the Curb Stomp.

In the end, Rollins managed to shove Rey Mysterio's eye into the edge of the steep steps. Rollins backed off after blood trickled out of Mysterio's eye and the referee jumped in to check on the WWE legend before calling for the bell. We even saw a fake eyeball as Mysterio struggled with the pain.

Rollins even puked after extracting Rey Mysterio's eyeball from its socket, and the images were really disturbing to watch. Sportskeeda's very own Riju Dasgupta broke down the finish of the match and the possible reasons behind the booking, and we highly recommend that you check it out.

With WWE providing a somewhat positive medical update, Rey Mysterio could potentially be back on WWE TV, probably with an eye patch. There has been a lot of talk with regards to Mysterio's status in the company as his WWE contract reportedly expired months ago. However, the feud between Seth Rollins and Rey Mysterio could see another chapter being written on the road to SummerSlam.

More details on Rey Mysterio's storyline injury should be revealed soon, and we'll keep you updated as they come our way.
