WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio has been out of action since suffering an injury at the end of January.
The 51-year-old went down after a match with Austin Theory on RAW.
Speaking to Adrian Hernandez, Mysterio provided an update on his health.
“Much better than when it actually happened.
“So, that injury occurred on January 27th, which was the Monday leading into the Rumble. It was fractured ribs — both left and right.
“Those take a little bit of time to heal, but on the way up.”
Mysterio does not have a clear path to WrestleMania right now and with just over one month until the 42nd iteration takes place, time is running out.
Many WWE fans had expected the luchador legend to face Gunther in a retirement match in Las Vegas.
Gunther has been fueding with Mysterio’s protegé, Dragon Lee, and it seemed natural that Mysterio might return to try and save him.
Gunther, who has retired Goldberg, John Cena and AJ Styles in the past year, would make for a logical opponent, but his path seems unclear as well.
The other option for Rey, and one that has been widely discussed for a long time, would have his son Dominik retire him.
Dirty Dom has spoken in interviews about his desire to retire his father and take his mask, but he is now set to face Finn Balor at WrestleMania 42 after the Irishman was ousted from the Judgement Day.
