Last night, at WWE's Smackdown house show event in Upper Marlboro, MD, Rey Mysterio defeated Chris Jericho in the show's main event. It has been widely reported that Rey Mysterio was supposed to be taking time off from WWE to have another surgery, but it appears as if he is either not going to take time off, or he just hasn't begun his leave of absence yet. Although Rey did have his ribs taped last night, he didn't seem to be selling the Batista attack from Survivor Series very much.
In an update to the situation, it was announced at last night's ECW/Smackdown taping that next week's Smackdown broadcast will be headlined by Rey Mysterio vs Batista in a Street Fight. So it appears that Rey will be working for at least another week, and the match against Batista next week could be where WWE shoots some type of injury angle. At this point, there have been no reports claiming that Mysterio is NOT going to have the planned surgery.
