Wrestling veteran speculates how Rey Mysterio might have got injured during his WWE SmackDown match

Rey Mysterio teamed up with fellow LWO member Dragon Lee and SmackDown star Rey Fenix to compete with American Made on the go-home episode of WWE SmackDown before WrestleMania 41. As mentioned above, the veteran got injured during the bout and was taken to the back by medical personnel.

During a recent edition of Jim Cornette's Drive Thru podcast, Jim Cornette pointed out that Mysterio has suffered several knee injuries over the years. He speculated that Julius Creed throwing Rey outside the squared circle after grabbing him around his ankle might have led to the veteran getting injured:

"Rey Mysterio has had bad knees, right? So he [Julius Creed] grabbed him with both hands around his ankle and jerked him, and Rey doesn't weigh very much, and this f**king guy is strong, so when he jerked him, he just flew out of the bottom rope, and he landed on the goddamn ground with a splat, boom, but when he did, he turned over, he put his hand between his legs, and I said, 'They have torn his groin.' [...] That's why he was in such pain and couldn't, you know, walk because, you know, he couldn't put weight on this sh*t and move his legs normally," he said. [From 1:50 to 2:47]
