What Rey Mysterio did in the ambulance
Rey Mysterio's son was taken to a hospital following the attack by Brock Lesnar and both he and his father missed the whole show. Rey was supposed to be in the Universal Title match against Seth Rollins but had to be replaced by Rusev as he was unavailable during the show.
Something that caught Dave Meltzer's eye was Rey's gesture while his son was in the ambulance. Rey removed his mask just as he got inside the ambulance, reportedly to make the scene look more legitimate.
Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio:
"When he went into the ambulance, it was really interesting, they played the ambulance siren during the first match which is a little touch that would never be done. I thought that was very interesting. I thought it was actually pretty cool because at first when I heard I thought someone’s coming out. No, it’s the ambulance taking Dominick to the hospital.
"And the other one was when Rey went into the ambulance, he took his mask off, which was not called attention to at all, but he did. Which I thought was interesting too. I think that was the idea of trying to sell it as being serious and real and that the playtime, you know pro wrestling time is over. So that was just an interesting little twist. I don’t think anyone even picked up on it but that was like the idea."
