• Triple H Comments On Rey Fenix Losing His WrestleMania Debut Match
Rey Mysterio got injured during the 6-man tag team match on WrestleMania SmackDown. Due to this, Mysterio was pulled from his match against El Grande Americano last night at WrestleMania 41 – Night 1.
Mysterio was replaced by Rey Fenix, who went on to lose to Americano (Chad Gable under a mask), who used a metal plate under his mask to defeat Fenix.
On the WrestleMania post show, Triple H said the following about Fenix losing his WrestleMania debut match:
“Rey Fenix, unfortunately with the injury to Rey Mysterio, last second… You ask somebody to step in that has just got here, not fully prepared, not fully anything. I thought it was amazing.
I thought Rey Fenix did a phenomenal job of putting him on the map and you have not, you know, in a moment that was incredibly difficult for him. He showed why he is here and how big of a star he is going to be in the future.
And El Grande Americano, whoever he is, is incredible. What a physique and what a job he did. Incredibly hard head apparently, so I thought it was great.”
