Is Rey Mysterio finally returning to WWE after his WrestleMania setback?
Rey Mysterio (Image via Getty Images) Rey Mysterio fans finally have something to look forward to. The WWE legend, who missed WrestleMania 41 due to an unexpected injury, is now on track to return very soon. After months of recovery and plenty of questions about when he would be back, the latest reports confirm that the Master of the 619 is almost ready to step back into the ring. He was set for a big match at WrestleMania against El Grande Americano, but just 24 hours before the event, everything changed. Mysterio was pulled from the card after getting hurt during a tag match on SmackDown, leaving fans disappointed and worried. Now, with a return date in sight, hope is back. What happened before WrestleMania Just one night before WrestleMania 41, Mysterio teamed with Dragon Lee and Rey Fenix on SmackDown to take on American Made. While their team picked up the win, things did not go smoothly for Rey. He ended up suffering a torn groin and also revealed later that he had a burst eardrum from the same match. The groin injury needed surgery, which ruled him out of WrestleMania completely. Mysterio wanted to go through with the match anyway, but WWE doctors and officials didn't clear him. Rey Fenix was chosen to fill his spot and face El Grande Americano instead. It was not the outcome anyone wanted, especially Rey, but his health came first. Rey Fenix, Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee battle American Made: SmackDown highlights, April 18, 2025 According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Rey Mysterio's return is currently expected in August. Earlier reports also mentioned a post-SummerSlam comeback, which lines up with this timeline. Since April, Mysterio has been off TV, focusing on recovery and resting after surgery. His last match was that April 18 SmackDown appearance, the one that unfortunately led to his injury. Rey Mysterio speaks on his character and WWE appearance Even though he has been sidelined, Mysterio still made an appearance at WWE x AAA Worlds Collide, where he kicked off the show with a passionate promo. Not everyone agreed with what he had to say, though. During that event, he said, 'WWE's deal with the Mexican promotion had given Lucha Libre a seal of authenticity.' The comment stirred some debate, with mixed reactions coming from fans and wrestling insiders. Rey Mysterio comments on potential heel turn, if WWE fans would accept it In a separate interview, Mysterio was asked whether he would ever turn heel in WWE. His answer was clear: probably not. He said, 'It would be very difficult' for him to ever become a villain. Mysterio explained that his calm personality and years of playing a baby face would make the change hard to accept for fans. As August gets closer, the excitement is building. Rey Mysterio has always been a fan favorite, and after missing such a big moment at WrestleMania, many are eager to see him make a strong comeback.

Lizzo weight loss reveal: The diet switch that changed everything
Image credits: X/@TrishCrave Lizzo, a popular American singer and rapper shocked the world in January 2025 when she revealed that she had been on a weight loss journey and had finally achieved her target weight. Ever since she began her journey in January 2024, she has managed to reduce her body mass index (BMI) by 10.5 and lost 16% of her body fat. While the 37-year-old singer has been very public with her body transformation over the months, sharing her diet and exercise routine on social media, she has finally revealed facts on her weight loss journey in detail. The pop star, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson was the guest in a recent episode of Trisha Paytas' "Just Trish" podcast, where she dished all the details. Did Lizzo take Ozempic? Image credits: X/@Najia_PR After denying the use of any kind of medication to lose weight, the singer finally admitted to trying Ozempic and other trending weight loss drugs to shed weight. "It's not easy," she said in a conversation about Ozempic on the podcast. She added that she had "tried everything" to lose weight but in the end, she ended up focusing on counting calories instead of taking a weekly jab. 'It's just the science for me, calories in versus calories out,' added the singer. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo 'Ozempic works because you eat less food. That's it. It makes you feel full, so if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same s–t.' Lizzo's diet changes revealed Image credits: Instagram/Lizzobeeating When asked by Paytas about how she was able to control her food intake without a shot controlling the urges, the singer credited two things. She opened up that she had made changes to her workout and had stopped being vegan or eating plant-based food, after "like 10 years" 'When I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats, I was eating a lot of bread, I was eating a lot of rice, and I had to eat a lot of it to stay full, but really I was consuming like 3,000 – 5,000 calories a day,' shared the singer. Now, Lizzo has switched to whole foods such as beef, chicken and fish to feel full instead of eating things that weren't actually filling. She shared how she added meat back into her diet during a trip to Japan, 'I heard the Japanese diet was the healthiest diet in the world,' she said. 'My body was so happy. My body was like, 'more, more please.' And I was like, 'ok, this is what my body likes.' However, she also added that she doesn't like telling people much about releasing weight as she doesn't want them to imitate it and find out that it doesn't work for them. "Everybody's body is different," said the popular rapper who has promoted body positivity throughout her career. One step to a healthier you—join Times Health+ Yoga and feel the change
