During the Friday Night SmackDown ahead of WrestleMania 41, WWE Hall of Famer and professional wrestling legend Rey Mysterio seems to have been injured.
During a match where Mysterio, Dragon Lee, and Rey Fenix faced off against American Made, Mysterio was soon seen out of the ring pointing to his leg.
After his teammates checked on him, WWE staff soon tended to the legendary luchador. When the match ended, the staff members carried him backstage.
This could potentially be bad news since Mysterio is scheduled to wrestle El Grande Americano at WrestleMania 41 Night 1 in less than 24 hours.

At this moment, WWE has not made an official statement on whether Mysterio will be able to compete or not.
If he is unable to defend Lucha Libre against El Grande Americano, either Rey Fenix or Dragon Lee would be worthy substitutions.
