After a month-long build-up, WWE Star and former Heavy-weight champion Seth Rollins and Rey Mysterio finally faced each other in an incredible “Eye for an Eye” match at Extreme Rules. The Master of the 619 dominated the most part of the match, but a low blow by Seth Rollins turned the tide in favour of The Monday Night Messiah. Seth Rollins won the match by shoving Rey Mysterio’s eye into the corner of the ringside steel steps. Though the viewers were not shown Rey Mysterio’s injury, the Future Hall of Famer was reportedly in a critical state as Seth Rollins himself was seen vomiting in the ring after looking at Rey Mysterio’s face.
According to WWE, Rey Mysterio was rushed to a local medical facility after the match. The doctors told WWE host Charly Caruso that Rey Mysterio’s health is serious and he is currently being treated on. “Medical experts were optimistic that if the optic nerve is not severed and there is not too much strain on the blood vessels and nerves that connect the eye to the rest of the head, there’s a chance Mysterio can maintain his vision,” WWE stated.
