Why Did Rey Mysterio Not Come Out In The Royal Rumble?

Despite being listed as entrant number 17 in this year's WWE Royal Rumble 30-man match, WWE Superstar Rey Mysterio was not present. Let's just examine what happened, shall we?

The much-anticipated 30-man Rumble battle, which was initiated by Gunther and Sheamus, served as the event's opening act this year. Then, the luchador was scheduled to be competitor number 17, but he failed to appear.

Dominik Mysterio was spotted wearing his father's mask at number 18 before tearing it apart as he approached the ring. It's conceivable that Rey was assaulted backstage before the bout by The Judgment Day or Dominik.

As previously reported by Xero News, "WWE is thinking of promoting Dominik Mysterio. With the tag title "run beside Priest," this may begin. For Mania, Dom vs. Rey is still a topic of discussion."

It's certainly likely that Rey's absence from the game was caused by an injury sustained during his victory against Karrion Kross. Rey was "dinged up but OK" after the bout, according to sources who spoke later.

Nevertheless, because there were only 29 competitors in Saturday's event, "Only 29" has become a popular topic among wrestling fans on Twitter.

Rey Mysterio was supposed to enter the event at number 17, but WWE fans were upset because they felt that, like Booker T, he had not yet been eliminated from the fight.
