WWE: Mysterio to Relinquish US Title, Main Event Taping Results, Ratings Delayed

Mysterio to Relinquish US Title

It was announced on Raw that Rey Mysterio will relinquish the US Championship because he’s injured.

Michael Cole said, “Next week on Monday Night Raw, Rey Mysterio will be here to give up his United States Championship because he cannot defend it.” It wasn’t announced how the next champion will be crowned.

Mysterio suffered a legit separated shoulder during his post-match beatdown by Samoa Joe at Money in the Bank. There’s no word yet on how long he’ll be out.

WWE taped these matches for Main Event before Raw last night. It’ll air on Wednesday on Hulu.
