REY MYSTERIO UPDATE, SANTOS TURN AND MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2023-11-15 12:35:00

Rey Mysterio was spotted today in Birmingham, Alabama, so he's still there post-surgery.

We've had some readers ask if the Santos Escobar turn was something that happened because of the injury.  We are told that it was always planned and had Rey not gotten hurt, they would gone right into live events doing Rey vs. Escobar.

There have been quite a few people internally who have raved about Zelina Vega's performance and her emotional work during the Escobar turn on this past Friday's Smackdown.  Vega has some done film acting work pre-WWE.

The WWE live event on 12/16 in Moline, IL lists WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Shinsuke Nakamura, Cody Rhodes vs. Finn Balor in a Street Fight and a tag team bout with Kevin Owens and LA Knight vs. Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso.
