Real Reason Flair Missed RAW; Mysterio/HBK Injured; More

Rey Mysterio suffered what we have heard was a sprained ankle over the weekend at one of the house shows. He didn't wrestle at Smackdown last night, I would guess as a precaution.

Shawn Michaels is out with a knee injury. He has had a bad knee for a while now and the wear and tear has just caught up with him. He will need to undergo physical therapy and get some rest, but shouldn't be out of action too long.

Ric Flair was at Raw on Monday night, but left before the show began. One source close to the situation told us that it was due to personal reasons, though another said he was under the impression that Flair wasn't needed at the taping. I tend to believe it was the former here. Flair was advertised as being in a handicap match with Triple H against Batista after Raw, but that didn't happen. It should also be noted that he was advertised on the weekend house shows a few days ago, but his name is no longer listed as appearing there.
