WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio is currently out of action due to a knee injury. The veteran recently noted that he was jealous of AJ Styles for a surprising reason.
The legendary luchador was scheduled to wrestle El Grande Americano at WrestleMania 41. However, he had to be replaced by Rey Fenix after he sustained an unfortunate injury on the go-home edition of SmackDown before The Show of Shows. The veteran has been absent from WWE programming ever since.
DDP Yoga wished AJ Styles a happy 48th birthday by posting a reel featuring the former WWE Champion. The Phenomenal One was seen working out with Diamond Dallas Page and speaking about his experience. Rey Mysterio dropped a lighthearted comment on the Instagram post, admitting that he was jealous of Styles and had to see "the yoga sensei," DDP.

Speaking to Jim Varsallone in a recent interview, The Master of the 619 noted that it was not easy to stay on top of the wrestling industry. The 50-year-old pointed out that he has suffered from multiple injuries throughout his career.
Mysterio further made a shocking revelation. The veteran mentioned that he was recovering from an injury he sustained ahead of WrestleMania 41. However, Rey stated that in addition to a torn groin, he was also dealing with a busted eardrum.
"No, not easy [to stay on top in the wrestling industry]. Obviously, with the amount of injuries that I’ve had over the years. I’m actually recovering from one that I just had right before WrestleMania. A torn groin and a busted eardrum. You know, I still love doing what I do," he said. [From 9:55 to 10:11]
