Having been moved to the Raw brand on the first night of the 2021 WWE Draft, Rey Mysterio is reportedly out of action.

As per Fightful Select, Mysterio missed a WWE live event on Saturday due to being "sidelined for an undisclosed medical reason". There's no further word on what exactly this medical reason is or how long the three-time WWE World Champion is expected to be on the shelf for at this point in time.

In Rey's place, this Saturday house show - which took place from San Juan, Puerto Rico - had Dominik Mysterio beat Jinder Mahal in singles action.

Where the WWE Draft is concerned, Rey was briefly at SmackDown this past Friday, where both he and Dominik were officially moved to Raw. Previously, the father and son tandem were on the Raw brand up until last year's WWE Draft, with them switched to SmackDown as part of that 2020 Draft.

Here's hoping that whatever is keeping Rey Mysterio out of action is nothing too serious, and that the Master of the 619 is back in a WWE ring sooner rather than later.
