Ric Flair Injury Update Inside, Mysterio's Return?, More

Partial Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter

Ric Flair is currently dealing with an ear problem. While the injury is said to be some type of chronic thing that has bothered him for years, it kept him off of this week's edition of SmackDown. Whether or not the injury will keep him out of action for any length of time is unknown although it was serious enough to hold him off of television this week.

Rey Mysterio made his return to action during the WWE tour of Mexico last week. He was said to have looked "fine" in his in-ring return. He probably won't be a regular in the ring for at least another few weeks, and the idea here, besides trying to sell tickets, was to put him in a six-man match so that he could be hidden and protected while he experimented to see how well his knee would hold up. His doctor had strongly advised him against ever wrestling again, but it is not going to happen.
