WWE.com has an article up at this link noting that during Rey Mysterio's current media tour of China, a 7.8 earthquake devastated the nation’s southwestern Sichuan province today killing more than 8,500 people.

Mysterio was at a media event in Xian, China when the earthquake hit. He was unharmed, evacuated and brought back to his hotel where he was put on the first floor for saftety reasons. Mysterio currently can't leave the country as all flights have been grounded and it is likely the media tour will be cut short.
