It seems like the attack by Santos Escobar on Rey Mysterio this past Friday on Smackdown was to write the former United States champion off TV for a few as Mysterio revealed in a post on social media that he underwent knee surgery.

“Knee surgery was successful,” Mysterio wrote, thanking Dr. Jeffrey Dugas from Andrews Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center in Birmingham, Alabama.

Mysterio added that once fully healed, payback on Escobar is on the horizon. He posted a photo with a heavy bandaged right leg while sitting in a bed.

It’s not known how long Mysterio will be out for or what the original injury was.
