Rey Mysterio to be out for several months

Rey Mysterio announced on Monday afternoon that the results of his recent MRI test revealed that he will in fact need surgery to repair his knee, which has already undergone surgery before.

Mysterio tweeted the following message in Spanish on Monday:

"Buenas tardes. Siento mucho el tener que dejarlos sin mi presencia en el ring por UNOs meses! Sirugia8/26 le pido a dios qca la ultima!619!"

For those who do not speak Spanish - Mysterio's next knee surgery is scheduled for Friday, August 26th and he will be out of action for several months.

Mysterio followed up with another tweet, apologizing for letting his fans down:

"Sorry4 the let down! Promise to make it back as soon as possible!Gonna miss what I luv most-ENTERTAINING U's!619"

I fast forward his matches anyway so no real loss from my point of view

I've had surgery 6 times in my left knee. This will be his new catchphrase.

It will be like the Bookah man with his World title reigns....

Shame really the guy is gonna struggle to get around without a wheelchair in later life.

Not a massive Rey mark & in no way should he ever have been booked as a world champ but sometimes I wish he'd just walk away whilst he still can

Del Rio is going to have to find someone else to have matches with every week now

Its a shame, who have we got left to squash the up and coming stars? oh wait, Orton!

Thought he was going to just do rehab instead of surgery.

No big loss to my viewing pleasure.

wwe will probably give him the belt tonight

It was poor that the WWE choose to let ADR be the one to put him out, this means that they will no doubt have another program when he gets back, Miz, Truth or Swagger would have been a far better choice, I think this is the op he should have had last year though and didn't due to Taker getting injured (by him ironicly)
