Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Rey Mysterio recently suffered a partial bicep tear while wrestling for Northeast Wrestling.

Mysterio was supposed to be meeting Triple H after the event to discuss a possible deal to bring him back to WWE, but it's unclear whether or not that meeting actually took place or if Mysterio's injury puts a possible WWE deal in jeopardy.

It was confirmed that Mysterio's tear was only a partial tear, as he was able to move his arm a bit afterwards. Had he not been able to move his arm it would've been a full tear of his bicep.

As a result of the injury, Mysterio will miss some dates that he was previously scheduled to make. Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio recently discussed the former Royal Rumble winner's injury status.

He reports the Mexican star is expected to miss a month of action due to the injury, and it's unknown if he'll be able to make New Japan Pro Wrestling's (NJPW) Long Beach show that will go down two weeks from now (quotes via SEScoops):

“He was in Lexington yesterday and he said he would be out of action for one month. Now the long Beach show is two weeks from today and he said he didn’t know.

"At least I am going to say it’s touch and go. It may just be go. We’ll probably know in a day or two. I think he may wait until the end because he probably has this idea.

“If he can possibly do it because it’s New Japan then he will do it, but I think there is a recognition that he may not be ready in time.”

It should be interesting to see how this injury affects, or doesn't affect, Mysterio's pending negotiations for a possible WWE return.

What are your thoughts on Mysterio being out of action for a month after his partial bicep tear earlier this year? Do you think that Mysterio will be able to appear at the upcoming NJPW Long Beach show?
