Dominik Mysterio sustained a shoulder injury during the main event of the AAA Guerra de Titanes event held on December 16, 2023, in Guadalajara, Mexico. The injury occurred shortly after he executed a DDT maneuver against his father, Rey Mysterio. Following the incident, Dominik was seen favoring his arm, raising concerns about the extent of his injury.
Wrestling analysts Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer discussed the situation during the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio. Meltzer provided insights regarding Dominik’s condition, stating, “He was hurting today and he’s going to get examined. Normally, you would go to TV and get examined, but there’s no TV until a week from Monday.” This indicates that Dominik will seek medical evaluation within the week to determine the severity of his injury.
Meltzer continued, highlighting the common nature of shoulder injuries in professional wrestling. “Shoulder injuries are very, very common and it’s probably not a good thing,” he added. The doctor’s assessment will provide clarity on whether Dominik requires surgery, which could sideline him for months. “Hopefully, he doesn’t need surgery right now, but right now we don’t know. But the injury is legit,” Meltzer emphasized.
In the main event match, Dominik teamed with El Grande Americano as part of the duo known as Los Gringos Locos 2.0. They faced off against Rey Mysterio and Rey Fenix, ultimately losing the contest. After the match, Dominik displayed visible frustration, shoving Americano and leaving the ring area without his partner.
The wrestling community is closely monitoring this situation, as shoulder injuries can significantly impact an athlete’s career. Fans hope for a swift recovery for Dominik, whose performance has been a major draw in recent wrestling events.
