Rey Mysterio blew out his knee in the match against Alberto Del Rio on Monday’s RAW during a baseball slide. Rey couldn’t walk at all backstage after the match. He had an MRI done last week and noted he had another one yesterday on Twitter, which apparently wasn’t part of the storyline after all. The word on Monday was that Rey wasn’t going to have surgery on his knee but after the blow out at RAW, he might end up having surgery instead of going through more rehab.

Rey Mysterio will reportedly not need surgery right now to repair his injured knee and will instead go through months of rehabilitation, and will be missing some time in the ring. There is a lot of talk that Rey is headed for a full knee replacement surgery.

Rey Mysterio had an MRI done over the weekend but as of yesterday, did not have the results back. Rey is reportedly very worried as it’s the same knee that he has had several surgeries on. We should know more later this week.

Rey Mysterio is said to be thrilled about his new feud with R-Truth on RAW. Rey specifically requested a feud with Truth when he was drafted to Monday nights and was told he would get it once Truth’s feud with John Morrison was over.

Since Morrison got injured, the Truth-Rey feud was done earlier than planned.

The May 16th WWE RAW did a 3.09 rating with 4.69 million viewers. Here's a segment breakdown:

Kofi Kingston vs. CM Punk lost 97,000 viewers from the opener while Kelly Kelly vs. Brie Bella and Kharma's appearance gained 333,000 viewers. There seems to be a trend of Diva segments doing well in the ratings since Kharma's arrival.

Alberto Del Rio vs. Rey Mysterio gained 1,500 viewers, which isn't good for the 10pm timeslot. Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole's contract signing lost 70,000 viewers while Kane & Big Show vs. Nexus lost 165,000 more viewers.

The main event of John Cena vs. Jack Swagger and The Miz's post-match attack gained 560,000 viewers, bringing the overrun to a 3.40. This less than usual for RAW's overruns.

Rey Mysterio will be featured on this coming Monday's WWE Tough Enough. Also being featured will be Chuck Palumbo's custom motorcycles from his CP Kustoms company. We noted a few months back that Palumbo was at the Tough Enough mansion and now we know why. Palumbo has made bikes for Rey Mysterio in the past.

Jim Ross was the special guest referee tonight in the dark main event after the WWE SmackDown tapings in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The match saw Rey Mysterio and WWE Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston defeat Alberto Del Rio and Kane.

Partial source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

The Undertaker suffered a busted nose on this week's SmackDown, thanks to Rey Mysterio's 619. Taker bled for a few minutes before the match ended and no trainer was sent out to stop the blood. It's interesting that this happened after two matches were hurt at Over the Limit due to trainers coming out to stop cuts.

Some people in the company figure that the no-blood rule is just a phase and blame it mostly on Linda McMahon running for office. One of the main reasons WWE has stopped wanting blood on TV is because agreements that have been made to attract a higher class of sponsors. The feeling is that if WWE's popularity goes way down then they would probably change the rule but Linda McMahon winning or losing the election won't bring any changes. Dave Meltzer believes that the PG rule will likely be in effect until either the license deal with Mattel runs out, which is years from now, or another company, such as TNA, takes away from WWE's popularity.

Phoenixnewtimes.com has a new interview up with CM Punk, who is facing Rey Mysterio at tomorrow’s WrestleMania 26 pay-per-view. Here are a few highlights:

Are you looking forward to WrestleMania?

Oh yeah, very much so. I’m looking forward to stealing the show. And letting everybody know that that’s exactly what I plan to do.

Rey Mysterio is an extremely talented cat. Is he a good partner to work with in the ring?

Yeah, I think me and Rey have chemistry. I’ve known Rey for…geez, I’m an old man, almost 10 years now. We’ve wrestled a couple times, and we haven’t really been able to showcase exactly what it is we can do. We’ve barely scratched the surface.

Will it be better than the match you had against Rey and Eddie Guerrero on the indie circuit in 2002?

I don’t know if it will be better. That one def has a place in my heart, obviously because Eddie was involved. I think it’s a great match that still holds up today.
