According to a recent report, the arm injury Rey Mysterio is dealing with won’t stop him from returning to WWE. But the bicep tendon tear will stop him from wrestling for New Japan in Long Beach this Sunday (Mar. 25) at Strong Style Evolved.
The promotion broke the bad news to fans during a press conference on Thursday where they also revealed the complete card for the event, which will air live on AXS TV at 8PM Eastern.
