Rey Mysterio Jr. made his much anticipated return to Mexico’s AAA wrestling organization on March 15 after a much publicized split with WWE. On Friday night, Mysterio made another appearance for AAA, this time taking part in a match that was publicized as his return to Tijuana, but tragically Rey’s return to the city took a tragic turn.

Mysterio was competing in a tag team match with Xtreme Tiger taking on Perro Aguayo Jr and Manik. Towards the end of the match, Mysterio went to set-up his well-knock 619 sequence on Aguayo, a move combination that Mysterio often used during his WWE and WCW tenure. Just after hitting the ropes to get into position, something appears to happen to Aguayo. What happened exactly still is not clear.

The original belief was that Aguayo possibly suffered some kind of whiplash following a dropkick from Mysterio that sent him into the ropes, but the media is now speculating that Aguayo could have suffered some type of brain hemmorage or cervical spine trauma. Video footage shows that Aguayo appears to be unconscious when Mysterio’s 619 sequence begins.

Posted below is video footage of the sequence in the match. A warning that the video could be disturbing to some viewers, and please keep Aguayo’s family in your thought’s after witnessing what can only be described is a tragedy of epic proportions.
