Dominic Mysterio’s injury return date is really close

Those who hope to see Dominic Mysterio is back from injury he may not have to wait long, as the Intercontinental Champion may be returning VVE Monday evening RAV really soon.

PVInsider is reporting (via the Wrestling Observer ) that Mysterio is expected to return from injury “soon,” which could be as soon as the RAW edition following the Royal Rumble in Philadelphia, PA on February 2nd.

If it returns during the February 2 RAV release, that falls within the rough time frame given earlier. It was previously reported that Mysterio did not require surgery on the injury and would be out for “three to four weeks.”

He suffered the injury during a AAA match on December 20, 2025. So, he could be back less than two months later if the latest report is correct.

The latest injury to WWE star Dominic Mysterio

Mysterio suffered an injury during the AAA Guerra De Titanes. He teamed up with El Grande Americano (Ludwig Kaiser) to fight his father Rey Mysterio and Rey Phoenix.

His injury occurred while taking DDT from his father. Mysterio immediately grabbed his shoulder after a motion kick.

Whenever Mysterio returns, he’ll have work to do for Doomsday. There was a lot of drama surrounding Finn Balor’s potential reversal and Liv Morgan’s victory at the Royal Rumble.

While Morgan won the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble, she had to eliminate another member of Doomsday, Raquel Rodriguez, from the match. Mysterio may be in for some major drama. It will be interesting to see how they manage.

Currently, Mysterio is the current WWE Intercontinental Champion in his second reign. In addition, he is the current AAA Mega Champion in his first reign in Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, WWE’s sister company.

In his young career, Mysterio is also a former two-time NXT North American Champion and SmackDown Tag Team Champion with his father.
