Rey Mysterio Earns Intercontinental Title Shot During WWE SmackDown

Rey Mysterio did not want to hit Dominik for defecting to Judgment Day and he requested Triple H to move him to SmackDown for that. Rey Mysterio got his wish and more tonight on the blue brand.

Rey Mysterio replaced Karrion Kross as the fourth participant in the fatal four-way match to determine the number one contender to Gunther’s Intercontinental Championship tonight on SmackDown.

Rey Mysterio squared off against Sheamus, Ricochet and Solo Sikoa. Sami Zayn and Jey Uso attacked Sheamus, causing The Brawling Brutes to intervene. Rey Mysterio capitalized on the opportunity by pinning Ricochet with a viva la raza.

Rey Mysterio will take on Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship at a future date. For those who didn’t watch, Rey Mysterio quit WWE, but was talked out of it by Triple H earlier during the show.
