WWE Reports Rey Mysterio’s Optic Nerve Is Intact
Good news, everyone.
Rey Mysterio might be able to see again after “losing his eye” at the Horror Show at Extreme Rules. WWE announced Rey’s optic nerve is intact and back in its socket. It is unknown when he’ll return to the ring, but his vision is improving each day.
UPDATE, 7/28/20: WWE Digital has learned that Rey Mysterio’s vision is improving slowly each day, and that his optic nerve is intact, completely secured and back in its socket. A timeline for Mysterio’s return to the ring is unknown at this time.
INITIAL REPORT: WWE Digital has learned that Rey Mysterio remains at a local medical facility and is responding well to treatment.
After the sickening conclusion of the Eye for an Eye Match Sunday night, Charly Caruso provided an update on the condition of Mysterio. Mysterio was rushed to a local medical facility to be treated for a potential globe luxation. Medical experts were optimistic that if the optic nerve is not severed and there is not too much strain on the blood vessels and nerves that connect the eye to the rest of the head, there’s a chance Mysterio can maintain his vision.
