Wrestling veteran Jim Cornette recently discussed a legendary WWE Superstar's recent injury ahead of WrestleMania 41. The legend is a Hall of Famer and he had to pull out from The Show of Shows.
In the go-home episode of WWE SmackDown before WrestleMania 41, Rey Mysterio teamed up with Dragon Lee and Rey Fenix to lock horns with The Creed Brothers and Chad Gable. During the bout, Mysterio suffered an unfortunate injury and was taken to the back by medical personnel. The Hall of Famer was set to face El Grande Americano at The Show of Shows, but was replaced by Fenix due to the injury.

During a recent edition of Jim Cornette's Drive Thru podcast, the wrestling veteran talked about Rey Mysterio's brutal injury. Cornette highlighted that Julius Creed grabbing Rey's leg and seemingly jerking it to throw him outside the ring may have played a huge role in injuring the WWE legend's groin.
"Rey Mysterio has had bad knees, right? So he 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," Cornette said. [1:50 - 2:47]
Jim Cornette also noted that fans watching at home did not receive an explanation for Mysterio's absence from the rest of the match, not even by the commentary team.
"What they did, apparently, since he was already on the ground outside the ring, they just shot around him, I guess the doctor came and checked on him, they scooped him up and helped him down the aisle but you never saw him gone and I didn't hear the announcers refer to it. He just disappeared," Cornette added. [3:46 - 4:08]
