According to F4WOnline, Rey Mysterio was pulled from the WWE SmackDown World Cup tournament last Friday, due to an injury.
Mysterio was replaced in the World Cup by Mustafa Ali after suffering an injury to either his foot or ankle. Mysterio was said to have been seen in a walking boot backstage at last Friday’s SmackDown in Indianapolis.
F4WOnline further notes Mysterio’s injury is not believed to be serious. However, he will be out of action long enough that WWE had tapped Ali to replace him in the World Cup.
Mysterio’s last televised match was on the November 4 episode of SmackDown (taped on October 28) where he was unsuccessful in capturing the WWE Intercontinental Title from GUNTHER.
