Dominik Mysterio’s injury timeline revealed

One of the worst news left by the last major event of the year of AAA Wrestling was the injury of its top champion. At the Guerra de Titanes show, Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano closed the night facing Rey Mysterio and Rey Fénix. In the final moments of the match, Dominik received a DDT from his father in which, unfortunately, he ended up falling violently on his shoulder.

The result, according to Bryan Álvarez, journalist from Wrestling Observer, was a shoulder dislocation, an injury that really complicates the task of establishing a recovery time, as it could be a few days of rest or, in the most extreme cases, require surgery. However, today Dave Meltzer, from the same outlet, has given us very positive news regarding the time Dominik Mysterio will have to stay away from the ring: "Dominik Mysterio found out he doesn't need surgery", confirmed Dave Meltzer. "What I was told today is they're talking three to four weeks. So it's not long-term, he should be back for the Rumble", he added.

These promising developments would dispel any speculation about a long-term injury that would force Mysterio to vacate his title and even miss WrestleMania. However, as confirmed by Meltzer, it seems he will have the opportunity to compete in WWE's four major events next year: "Dominik Mysterio found out he doesn't need surgery," confirmed Dave Meltzer. "What I was told today is they're talking three to four weeks. So it's not long-term, he should be back for the Rumble".

Considering the short absences that WWE wrestlers with shoulder injuries have had (Seth Rollins and Chad Gable being the clearest examples), it seems that the AAA Megachampion's scenario has been luckier. While the company confirmed in the last episode of Raw that Mysterio was in an indefinite period of absence, which raised many alarms, it seems it will simply be a distraction tactic to generate surprise upon his return.

The company must be very relieved to have received the news of Dominik Mysterio's good shoulder condition, as in this Road to WrestleMania, Mysterio was positioned as one of the main faces of the grand event. Penta or Rey Mysterio were being considered as high-caliber rivals for the coming months.
