right here on Netflix.
[rock music playing]
Oh…
Welcome to WWE Raw Classics.
I'm your host, Big E.
And today we look back at some of the most eye-popping moments
of the ultimate underdog, Rey Mysterio.
While not the first,
Rey Mysterio is often credited
with introducing the thrilling styles of lucha libre to the masses.
For over 20 years and counting,
we have been witness to some of the most spectacular offensive maneuvers
ever seen in WWE.
Let's kick things off with one of the most emotional matches
in WWE history.
[poignant music playing]
[Big E] On November 14th, 2005,
following the passing of WWE Hall of Famer
and Rey's best friend, Eddie Guerrero,
Rey would pay tribute to Eddie's life
when he faced off against "The Showstopper" himself,
Shawn Michaels, in the main event of Monday Night Raw.
♪ What you gonna do When we come for you… ♪
[King] Oh man.
♪ What you gonna do When we come for you? ♪
[barking]
[Rey Mysterio's theme music playing]
[Lilian Garcia] And from San Diego, California,
weighing in at 170 Ibs,
Rey Mysterio!
[Coach] Both Shawn Michaels and Rey Mysterio
wearing their Eddie Guerrero T-shirts.
Rey Mysterio also clad in the Eddie Guerrero EG armband.
And this has got to be a very emotional night for Rey Mysterio,
who was one of Eddie Guerrero's best friends,
personally and professionally.
Rey Mysterio's greatest victory
was defeating Eddie Guerrero at WrestleMania 21.
[Coach] You have to say, with probably the exception of Chavo Guerrero,
Rey Mysterio was as close to Eddie Guerrero as anybody.
[King] And Shawn Michaels as well.
Shawn Michaels and Eddie Guerrero were great friends.
I mean, who did not like… who did not love Eddie Guerrero?
Come on, let's speak some truth.
I mean, one of my fondest memories,
you know, was sort of kind of helping to start the phrase "Latino Heat."
-I loved it! -[Coach] What was that, King?
[King] Latino Heat!
[Coach] It didn't matter if Eddie was lying, cheating, or stealing.
Very entertaining.
Always having a good time when he got in the ring,
especially with either one of these two guys.
I tell you, it was flat-out go time.
[Joey] Thank you, King, for making me smile tonight.
I needed it.
Shawn Michaels with the arm wringer on Rey Mysterio,
driving his shoulder to that of Mysterio. Again, wringing on the arm.
Mysterio rolls through.
[Coach] You know, Joey, you mentioned the WrestleMania earlier this year
at the Staples Center in LA,
and everybody watching from high above in a sky box,
they ki…
[Joey] A bit of a hammerlock now by Rey Mysterio.
[King] And we're seeing some very unusual interpromotional matches
between Raw and SmackDown Superstars.
Some of the first matches like this in…
We may not ever see matches like this.
But when we heard that this was gonna be a tribute show tonight to Eddie Guerrero,
so many of the SmackDown stars wanted to be a part of it.
[Joey] Reversal on the hammerlock, nicely done by Shawn Michaels.
Rey Mysterio reaches back now. Tries to free himself.
[Coach] King, tonight brands were put aside. All that was put aside.
Championships put aside.
And tonight it's just about competing in tribute of Eddie Guerrero.
[King] Uh-oh. Yeah.
[Joey] Shawn Michaels scouted the second leapfrog,
catches Rey Mysterio, kicks him off, hip toss.
Shawn Michaels kicking off Rey Mysterio now.
Both men back up to a vertical base. Headlock takeover.
Head scissors now by Rey Mysterio. Standoff.
[King] Whoa. I didn't think it possible,
but, Joey, these guys are faster than you can talk.
[Joey] Shawn Michaels in a very unique position tonight.
Usually, Shawn Michaels' opponents are larger than he is,
so he has to rely on speed and quickness.
Tonight, Shawn Michaels is the larger of the two combatants.
And I don't mind telling you, Rey Mysterio is quicker than Shawn Michaels.
[Coach] And Shawn Michaels has always been a performer, a competitor,
that has been able to adapt to whatever size his opponent has been.
[Joey] Back to the hammerlock goes Shawn Michaels.
Rey Mysterio looking for the back door.
Reaches back once again.
[King] I can remember the early days of Shawn Michaels.
And at that time, Shawn was all about the luchador style.
[Joey] Inside cradle, small package, two! Nice counter to the single leg.
Side headlock takeover.
Head scissors blocked by Shawn Michaels not once, but twice,
releasing and using his right hand.
I've never seen the counter to a head scissors like that before.
That's why he's the one and only Shawn Michaels.
Shawn Michaels really wrenching on that headlock
as Rey Mysterio trying to sit up and out and does.
Gets back to a vertical base. Wants to free himself.
[King] I mentioned that luchador style.
And that came from the mentor of Shawn Michaels,
José Lothario, if you remember that.
[Joey] "Super Sock" José Lothario…
Leapfrog mistimed by Rey Mysterio.
Shawn Michaels held onto the ropes.
-Keep your eye on Michaels. -[King] Whoa!
[Joey] Catapult, but Rey Mysterio lands on the apron.
[King] Shawn, turn around. He's still there!
Oh man!
[Joey] Springboard into the Lou Thesz press. Nicely done.
Cover, hook of the leg.
Two and no.
Two-count only says referee Jack Doan.
[Coach] Rey Mysterio now on the offensive against Shawn Michaels.
Shawn Michaels with the reversal.
Rey Mysterio with the tip-up.
Shawn Michaels catches him, throws him off.
Rey Mysterio gets planted sternum-first into the canvas.
[King] As we said, Shawn Michaels' mentor, José Lothario,
he had many encounters throughout his career
with the entire Guerrero family.
Gory, Mando, Héctor.
-Some classic battles. -[Coach] Jesus.
[Rey groans]
[Joey] Chops are on the menu tonight here in Minneapolis.
[Coach] Competition is on the menu tonight.
And everybody is serving up a full plate.
[Joey] I see Shawn Michaels trying to collect himself.
Rey Mysterio sent for the ride.
Michaels sets his head, gets caught
in a rare mistimed dunk by Shawn Michaels!
[King] He set himself too early. Whoa.
[chuckles] But he got out of the way of that incoming 619 just in time.
-[Coach] It's not gonna happen tonight. -[Joey] Nice fake by Rey Mysterio.
[King# Look out!
[Joey] Up and over with the pescado all the way to the floor.
[King] I think Shawn's…
Shawn hit the back of his head on the floor. He's hurt!
[Joey] We're gonna go to the replay.
[King] We're back.
Shawn recovered from that…
being dumped out there on the floor and landed on by Rey Mysterio.
Now Sean back in control here.
[Joey] Shawn Michaels with a rare sleeper hold on Rey Mysterio,
and Rey Mysterio is fading.
[King] Check out what happened during the break.
This is courtesy of WWE Unlimited.
[Joey] On WWE.com!
[King] Rey Mysterio coming in,
and nobody home, and then that big reverse neckbreaker
from Shawn Michaels.
That's when he set up the sleeper.
[Coach] When you go to WWE.com, the action never stops.
[Joey] And neither do Shawn Michaels and Rey Mysterio.
You know, we talked about Rey Mysterio and José Lothario,
the mentor of Shawn Michaels and the luchadores,
and Eddie Guerrero was the first and only luchador or Mexican wrestler
ever to win a professional wrestling World Heavyweight Championship.
And that was on February 15th, 2004.
And Eddie Guerrero burned his place into sports entertainment history
with that victory.
He cemented his legacy.
[King] Rey Mysterio…
[Joey] Mysterio fighting his way out of this back to his feet.
[King] He's creating quite a legacy of his own if he can beat Shawn Michaels.
[Joey] Great counter to the belly-to-back suplex
by Shawn Michaels!
-[Joey] What a chop! That's gotta hurt. -[Coach] Oh yes.
It doesn't tickle.
[King] I've been on the receiving end of a few of those HBK chops.
I can assure you, it hurts.
[Joey] I'll take your word for it, King. Oh!
Backbreaker.
[Rey groaning]
[Joey] I see Shawn Michaels still trying to collect himself.
Rey Mysterio's had quite a bit of offense this matchup as well.
And now Shawn Michaels targeting the lower back of Rey Mysterio.
[Coach] You know, you mentioned what a great year Rey Mysterio has
throughout most of the year battling with Eddie Guerrero,
but Shawn Michaels has had a great year as well,
all the great matches with Kurt Angle.
So what a way for his year to end tonight,
getting to go one-on-one with a competitor from SmackDown like Rey Mysterio.
[Joey] Shawn Michaels bringing Rey Mysterio back into the ring
and still working over the back.
Yes!
[King] We're watching great action, and also getting to see
some very special moments and memories of…
of, uh, Eddie Guerrero.
And just, like, one of my favorite things that I think that Eddie has ever done
throughout his entire career was the Lie, Cheat, and Steal.
I mean, that was so entertaining.
I saw a little clip of him on the golf course.
I asked him one time, "What would you do if you made a hole-in-one?"
-He said, "I'd write down a zero." -[Joey laughs]
[King] He would find a way to cheat and lie.
[Coach] Always entertaining. So much fun to watch.
And all that stuff with him and Chavo was just… was just great, great TV.
[Joey] Back elbow right in the mush of Rey Mysterio.
Mysterio now sent for the ride by Shawn Michaels.
Tilt-a-whirl flying head scissors. Nicely done by Rey Mysterio.
Shawn Michaels on spaghetti legs.
Recovers with the front kick.
[Coach] You got to wonder at this point if Mysterio's taken too much punishment.
Courtesy, Shawn Michaels…
[Joey] Springboard high crossbody.
And now Rey Mysterio working on the hamstring of Shawn Michaels.
Both sides. Not one, but two,
There's the homage to Eddie Guerrero,
and the clothesline floors "The Heartbreak Kid."
[King] The Viva La Raza tribute right there!
I think that Rey Mysterio knows, too, if he can weaken those legs of HBK,
less chance of Sweet Chin Music.
-[Joey] A dropkick right to the knee! -[King] And one to the face!
[Joey] Here a boot to the head, two,
and… No!
Left shoulder up.
[Coach] It almost seems like Mysterio's found a second and third wind
that I didn't think he had after all the punishment he's taken.
[King] Rey Mysterio came here with one thing in mind,
paying tribute to Eddie Guerrero.
And he knows that a victory over Shawn Michaels would do…
I mean, the ultimate tribute.
[Joey] There's the forearm. Both Shawn Michaels and Rey Mysterio down.
[Coach] That's not likely to happen though, King.
One!
[Joey] Referee Jack Doan putting a count on both competitors.
[Coach] I'm gonna make a prediction that Shawn Michaels is gonna pop up.
You think?
[King] Well, I've seen him pop up like a pimple on prom night many times.
And there it is!
[Joey] Are you making fun of my complexion, King?
[King] Here we go. Look out! Look at this now!
[Joey] Body scissors into a bulldog.
-Nicely done by Rey Mysterio! -[Coach] Wait a minute!
-[King] No 619! -[Coach] And again.
Again able to get out of that and not take the 619.
[Joey] Shawn Michaels just frustrated, throwing punches.
Very unlike HBK, clothesline, dunked!
Not that time. Not that time.
Cover, two,
and no.
Well I… I know you can't see much of Rey Mysterio's face,
but you can see the frustration in his body language
when he didn't hit that 619, his signature move.
[Joey] And Shawn Michaels also flustered,
trying to figure out how to put away Rey Mysterio.
Tilt-a-whirl and again, that clothesline turned Rey inside out.
[King] That may be the way to put away Rey Mysterio.
What's Shawn gonna do here?
You're right, Joey. I think you can see the flustered.
[Joey] You can see the wheels in his mind,
thinking, what is it gonna take to put away Rey Mysterio tonight?
[Coach] That's what the crowd is thinking here at the Target Center in Minneapolis.
[King] That did it.
[Joey] Elbow right to the sternum. Bullseye!
[Coach] Lights out, here we go. It's just about time to tune up the band.
[King] We heard Shawn Michaels. That's it.
Shawn Michaels wants to tune up the band, but are they playing his song?
[crowd] Three!
Four! Five!
[Joey] Rey Mysterio fighting his way to his feet.
He ducks it!
Reverse victory roll, Shawn Michaels!
And third time is a charm! 619 dialed up. The call connected.
-[King] No! -[Joey] The springboard leg drop!
Two!
[Coach] He got him!
[King] I can't… Coach!
-Can you believe it? -[Coach] I can't believe it.
[Lilian] Here is your winner, Rey Mysterio!
[Coach] This Target Center crowd right now is on their feet.
And emotional does not even begin to describe
what Rey Mysterio is like right now.
What a win.
[King] Well, I'm gonna tell you, I can feel the spirit of Eddie Guerrero.
I had an opportunity to talk momentarily to Rey Mysterio earlier tonight,
and he told me that's why he's here.
Because of Eddie, to pay tribute. And he has just done it royally.
Man.
[Joey] Rey Mysterio dedicates
one of the greatest victories of his career
to Eddie Guerrero.
[Rey Mysterio's theme music playing]
[King] I… I… Guys, I'm speechless.
I'm in shock.
[Coach] It really is hard to describe what it is like here right now
in the Target Center after what we just saw.
[Joey] It took three times for the call to connect.
But when Rey Mysterio finally dialed up 619,
that was all for Shawn Michaels.
[King] Look at this, guys.
You can tell this is a very different night here on Raw.
Tonight is all about respect.
Great respect for… well, all the athletes' respect for each other,
but great respect for Eddie Guerrero
[inaudible]
What a great way for two legends to pay tribute and respect
to the late, great Eddie Guerrero.
[crowd cheering] One, two, three!
[bell rings]
[Big E] Rey would carry Eddie's legacy forward,
eventually winning the World Championship at WrestleMania 22.
Throughout his career,
"The Biggest Little Man" in sports entertainment
would overcome the odds and inspire generations
with his fierce, competitive attitude.
And one of his biggest opportunities to date
would come as the master of the 619 faced The Miz
for the coveted WWE Championship on Monday Night Raw.
[Cole] And no matter what is happening in America tonight,
nothing is more important than the WWE Championship
being on the line here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
We guarantee a new champion will be crowned.
-[King] Oh, this is huge, all right. -[bell rings]
[Cole] We want to remind everyone
that you can be a part of tonight's action on Twitter
by following @WWE,
by using the hashtag #RAW.
And, Jerry, earlier today The Miz tweeted, "It's time to eat your words."
"You've all doubted me."
"I'm gonna trend worldwide when I win tonight."
[King] Oh, I'm sure if he wins, he will trend worldwide,
The Miz, but, you know, I'm sure you'll find this hard to believe.
I'm not a follower of The Miz on Twitter.
[Cole] Well, ladies and gentlemen, Miz is six foot one, 231 Ibs,
from Cleveland, Ohio.
He's a former WWE Champion.
Former Tag Team Champion, United States Champion.
And he won the Money in the Bank Ladder Match last year.
And many people believe,
as Miz goes into a cover and a kick-out,
that Miz will be a great champion.
As he goes for another cover here.
-Miz, a role model. -[JR] Wait.
Cole, please. Role model?
-He'll be a great champion? -[Cole] He's up to it.
[JR] He's a personal friend of yours, right?
[Cole] He is a personal friend of mine,
but it doesn't cloud the way I think about this matchup here tonight.
Miz will be a great representation of the company.
-He's good-looking. He wears… -[King] Look at that move!
[Cole] Mysterio delivers a hurricanrana.
Many call Mysterio "The Magic Man."
I think Rey Mysterio would be a fantastic representor of the WWE
if he's the champion.
-[Cole] He hides behind a mask. -[King] Oh, come on.
[Cole] And the high-flying Mysterio…
-[King] Watch out, Rey! -[Cole] And Miz takes control.
Mysterio, a former two-time World Champion yet to win the WWE Championship
hopes to do that for the very first time here tonight.
[King] Then truly history will be made.
[Cole] And look out, Miz looking to put Mysterio…
away early.
[King] Don't stand up. I think that's gonna be the worst thing you can do.
[all groan]
[Cole] I think Rey… I thought he was playing possum,
but Miz took control.
Quickly into the cover, hooks the leg on Mysterio,
who kicks out at two with the WWE title on the line.
[King] Just waiting for you to give me more accolades of The Miz here.
[Cole] Well, he's well-spoken. He's articulate.
I mean, look, a picture is worth a thousand words.
He's combative. He's angry, headstrong. Just look at this.
[King] Say something good about Rey Mysterio.
If Rey walked on water, you know what you'd say?
"Look, Rey can't swim."
[Cole] I just have a hard time finding a WWE Champion wearing a mask. That's all.
-[King] Oh please. -[Cole] How can Rey--
[King] More people should wear masks. You're one.
[Cole] How could Mysterio make appearances on talk shows around the country
wearing a mask?
People can't see what he's thinking or feeling.
-I mean, come on. -[King] You are really reaching tonight.
[Cole] Mysterio trying to get back into this matchup.
And look at Miz with a high knee again to the gut.
And Miz looking to win the championship again.
And Mysterio, who's been called "The Biggest Little Man"
in the history of WWE, kicks out again.
[King] There's a lot of talk around the world
about the country defaulting and all of that sort of thing.
But I'll tell you right now, to Rey Mysterio,
this match and the opportunity to become the WWE Champion
is the most important thing in the world.
[Cole] Of course it is.
Get off the ropes. One!
[Cole] There's the aggressiveness we talked about.
And Miz can ill afford to be disqualified here.
[King] Why does The Miz have to talk smack during the match?
[Cole] I wanna correct myself. I forgot the rules from last week.
This is the finals of the tournament.
This match has to be won via pinfall or submission,
just like a normal championship matchup,
as Miz dumps Mysterio out of the ring.
[King] Nice roll-through by Rey.
-Still had the smart-- -[Cole] Look at Miz!
Would you say something nice about Miz at least once in your life?
He was a great WWE Champion the first time around.
He knocked you off on a number of occasions.
[King] So I'll say something nice about the guy?
No, I got a lot of respect for him.
Without a doubt. I mean, The Miz able to do things like this.
Right in the face
of Rey Mysterio.
[crowd] Miz is awful! Miz is awful!
[King] The only think about The Miz, you can just tell by the look on his face,
always got some sort of evil intentions.
What's he thinking of doing to Rey now?
Missed!
[Cole] That chant moments ago that The Miz is awesome,
but right now it's Mysterio who's trying to look awesome.
-[King] Look out! -[Cole] Oh!
[King] He's not trying to.
That chant was not "Miz is awesome."
It was, "Miz is awful."
[Cole] Will Miz or Mysterio be the new WWE Champion?
The tournament finals roll on live.
[King] We are back live on Monday Night Raw.
And this is not some boring political rhetoric
you're having to listen to.
This is the WWE Championship being decided live right now.
[Cole] The first Monday Night Raw
under the watch of the new WWE chief operating officer, Triple H.
And it's Miz versus Rey Mysterio.
And Miz could be closing in on the WWE title.
He's got it there.
Two. And a kick-out by Mysterio.
[King] Will you sit down?
You don't have to stand up every time The Miz almost wins.
[Cole] Think about what this night means, Jerry, as Miz goes into the cover again.
This is about the future of the entire WWE.
History's gonna be made here tonight.
And Miz is gonna lead the charge into the future for this company.
[King] You don't know that!
There, the new WWE Championship
that's hanging in the balance from this match.
I think Rey Mysterio would be great to lead the WWE as the new champion.
[Cole] Yeah, he looks great now.
Miz wearing Mysterio down.
Miz looking for a second WWE Championship reign.
Think about how awesome that'll be.
Now look at Miz.
Been dominating Mysterio.
-Really almost-- Uh-oh. -[King] Landed on his feet.
[Cole] Nice switch by Miz with Mysterio…
Oh, shoulder-first goes Miz!
And this could be the turning point of the matchup for Rey Mysterio.
[King] Yeah, Rey needs to build some momentum now.
Come on, Rey. Get up.
[Cole] Rey Mysterio, a high-flyer.
One of the great aerial technicians of all time.
[King] I don't know if he's recovered enough.
[Cole] Well, he did! Seated senton.
And Mysterio starting to roll here.
Crossbody. Lateral press. Come on!
Miz kicks out at two and a half.
[King] Have you got earplugs in? Are you deaf?
Can you not hear the WWE Universe, how much they're behind Rey Mysterio?
[Cole] Look at this. Mysterio rolling through.
-[King] Missed it. -[Cole] Miz! How great was that?
[King] That was close.
[Cole] Ducking out of the way and Miz right back in control.
Planting Mysterio. It's over.
New champion. For a second--
-Oh man. -[King] Woo-hoo!
Oh, look, is Miz getting a little frustrated?
[Cole] He's just trying to regain his composure.
[King] Is he wondering what it's gonna take,
or does he have what it takes to beat Rey Mysterio?
[Cole] No, 'cause I feel sorry for Rey for what's coming.
Miz with more resolve than ever.
Oh, look at that! That's what I'm talking about!
Good night, Rey!
-Oh! -[Miz roars]
[King] Oh!
[Cole] Come on, Miz. Calm down.
You're dominating here.
[King] But what a matchup we are witnessing.
Do you realize right at this very second people all over the United States,
all over the world, are tuning in to this match?
[Cole] People all over the world, Jerry, are waiting for this moment.
-Not just the United States! -[King] I said, "the world"!
[Cole] Because of Mr. McMahon, we're now a global company.
Don't you ever forget that.
Uh-oh.
Look at this! Mysterio, come on!
Great kick-out by Miz.
And again, Miz continuing to wear Mysterio down.
Mysterio's got these little flurries, but not enough to take Miz out.
[King] You gotta remember
how hard both these Superstars have fought for this opportunity.
I'm not gonna deny that The Miz is here because he deserves to be here.
[Cole] Uh-oh.
-Mysterio… -[King] Watch it, Rey.
He's watching you, Rey!
[Cole] And again, Miz, great move.
What a counter by Miz.
What brilliance by Miz!
-Look at that! It's over! -[King] Oh no. Powerbomb.
[Cole] New champion!
[King] Oh man. Woo-hoo!
And once again,
Rey escapes at the last… the very last second.
[Cole# Come on, Miz. Don't get frustrated.
Give up!
[Cole] This is just simply making Miz angry.
It's not good for Mysterio.
[King] You know that Miz is a hothead.
When he gets angry, he's…
well, he's susceptible to make a big mistake.
[Cole] Yeah, but he also gets vicious when he gets angry.
I could almost feel sorry for Mysterio, but I don't.
[King] I would be surprised if you felt sorry for anyone.
Watch out, Rey.
Miz hoping to lock in that Skull-Crushing Finale.
-But… -[Cole] Yeah.
Miz looking to put Mysterio away with his finishing maneuver.
Mysterio somehow countered.
Again, Mysterio is gonna pay for all this.
That is just beautiful.
The more Mysterio hangs around in this match,
the more he gets tortured and punished
by the most must-see WWE Champion of all time.
[King] I didn't know you could see into the future, Cole.
You should go out and buy lottery tickets or bet on a horse race.
[Cole] It's just a matter of time.
This is not good for Mysterio.
Ooh! Uh-oh. How did Myster…
Oh, look at that.
-That's the bad knee. -[King] Yeah, good knee.
[Cole] That's the bad knee Miz hurt at the Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
-[King] Yeah, when Miz… -[Cole] Come on, Miz!
-[King] Miz drove into a turnbuckle. -[Cole] Mysterio!
-[King] Hey! -[Cole] Come on, Miz has got a bad leg!
[King] Hit it!
[Cole] Come on, Miz!
Not this way!
-[King] Look at this! -[Cole] No!
-Come on, Miz! -[King] Wait, wait!
Woo-hoo!
We have a new WWE Champion!
[Justin Roberts] The winner of this match,
and new WWE Champion,
Rey Mysterio!
[cheering]
[Rey Mysterio's theme music playing]
[Cole] Well, history has been made here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
[King] And I think, Cole,
you're the only person in the WWE and around the world
that is not cheering and clapping right now for Rey Mysterio.
Way to go, Rey!
[Cole] While the wrong man may have won the WWE Championship,
he preyed on an already injured leg of The Miz,
but history has been made here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
[King] I'm sure Miz will appreciate the excuses you're making for him,
but the truth is the better man won this match.
And new WWE Champion,
Rey Mysterio!
A shocking start to Monday Night Raw
that had the fans West Coast Popping.
"The Biggest Little Man" always strived to be a champion in WWE.
And he would have another opportunity on Raw in 2019
against "The Phenomenal One" AJ Styles,
with AJ's United States Championship on the line.
[bell rings]
[Vic] Whoa, and Styles very quickly in on Rey Mysterio.
And, King, you know Styles saw the match last night.
[King] Of course he did.
And last night, that was described as it was gonna be a miracle or massacre.
And after what Rey went through at the hands of Brock Lesnar,
tonight if Rey can somehow win and become the champion,
that would be the miracle.
[Vic] We talked about Seth Rollins' comments.
But what about what AJ Styles said on social media?
You know, obviously, do you feel that…
[Styles] Let's go for one more.
…AJ Styles feels a little embarrassed after coming up short last night?
[King] Well, I don't know.
I couldn't tell because he walked out on that, uh, Seth Rollins speech earlier.
I dunno what was going through AJ's mind.
But right now, all of that is out the window.
He's just thinking about hanging on to his United States Championship
in this match against Rey Mysterio
[Vic] It's Rey Mysterio starting to fight back.
Mysterio creating a little separation. Obviously, for Mysterio, King-- Oh!
He would love to get this match over quickly, right?
-[King] I'll tell you what Rey'd love. -I could do this all night long.
[King] He said he could do this all night.
Rey would love to have that steel pipe
that he had in the match last night with Brock Lesnar,
but unfortunately, he can't have it.
[Vic] AJ Styles picking up the scraps right now.
Again, it was Styles who thought he was gonna face Humberto Carrillo.
Then he thought his night was done after The OC took Carrillo out.
But Styles finds himself…
Beat on him a little more!
…in this United States Championship matchup.
King, how good is AJ Styles to you?
[King] What do you mean, how good? He's the United States Champion.
You can't get much better than that. Uh-oh. Watch out, Rey.
[Vic] Styles has worn gold for over half his WWE career.
Oh, just rammed Mysterio right into the barricade!
-[referee] Two! -[Vic] Oh!
[King] Those knife-edge chops, I'm telling you.
[Vic] AJ Styles keeps looking over at the OC with a grin on his face.
[referee] Five!
[King] Like I said, this would be the real miracle
if somehow Rey Mysterio could pull this off.
[Vic] And look at Styles, so confident, so arrogant,
as he stalks Mysterio.
But again now, the master of The 619 trying to fight back.
Mysterio looking to climb… And, oh!
To the left knee goes AJ Styles.
[King] That particular turnbuckle tonight has not been anybody's friend.
I'd avoid it if I were you, Rey.
[Vic] And Styles stomping away on Mysterio.
Mysterio has nowhere to go.
Mysterio tied up.
Styles goes and flies right in with a dropkick.
[King] Ooh!
[Vic] Basement-like dropkick into the jaw.
Could be a matter of time now. Styles, to retain the United States title.
And Mysterio wisely grabbed the bottom rope.
Okay. Smart move, Rey.
-[King] It was a smart move. -Come on, get up. That's all you got?
Huh?
[King] You know what'd be cool?
Get a microphone in there and just let AJ
call his own match here.
[Vic] You certainly hear Styles talking a lot of trash to Mysterio,
but now it's Mysterio who's getting grinded down to the mat
by "The Phenomenal One."
Mysterio, who just outlasted Randy Orton, Ricochet, and Drew McIntyre.
As you call it, the miracle or the massacre.
Does Mysterio have a miracle in him tonight?
-[crowd booing] -[The OC] Tell him, AJ.
[Vic] All smiles for AJ Styles.
[King] Well, Styles obviously has this match well in hand and he knows it.
Back it up now! One! Two!
[Vic] There's Styles again, right in front of the OC.
Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows down here ringside.
The only club that matters.
And Styles has been in control since the beginning.
-[King] Uh-oh. -Come on!
-[Vic] Styles trying to measure Mysterio. -One!
-[Vic] Tried to fight, could not escape. -[groaning]
-Shouldn't have struggled. -Bring it.
[Styles] Just let it happen, man.
[King chuckles] "Just let it happen."
-Call for the bell, ref! -Yeah!
[Vic] United States Championship on the line,
but, you know, this match, King, it… it's been all AJ Styles.
[King] No kidding.
And it will probably pretty well likely continue to be.
[Vic] Oh!
Mysterio block.
Another block by Mysterio.
Mysterio, to the midsection now.
Driving the air out of the lungs of AJ Styles.
Mysterio… Oh!
-[King] Uh-oh. Were those teeth? -[Vic] Kick connected.
And, oh, Mysterio, remember the left knee, King?
The left knee, which has been the target of AJ Styles.
You gotta go back to the Brock Lesnar match.
Could fatigue be settling in now?
Oh, Mysterio!
[King] Man, he dug down deep for that one.
-[Vic] And Mysterio… Counter! -[King] Oh no.
[Vic] Mysterio countered Styles into the middle turnbuckle.
[King] Oh man. That could dislocate the knee and his head or shoulder.
[Vic] Take another look at it, King. Boom!
[King] Oh! I think both.
[Vic] WWE Universe in Chicago trying to rally Mysterio.
[King] AJ Styles is… is… is not rallied.
He's rattled.
Get up, AJ.
[Vic] United States title on the line.
Styles the champion, Mysterio the challenger.
[King] Look at this.
[Vic] Mysterio caught for a moment.
-Myst… Oh, what a kick under the jaw! -[King] Oh no!
-[Vic] Wait a minute! -[King] Oh no, no. No, no. We see it.
[Vic] Dial it up, Rey!
[King] No… Ah!
[Vic] Oh, and Karl Anderson yanking the right leg.
-[King] No, he did nothing. -[crowd booing]
[King] He did nothing.
Wait a minute!
[raucous cheering]
[King] That's AJ's insurance policy!
[Vic] Referee sending The OC to the back. Styles by himself.
Does Mysterio have a miracle in him?
[King] Rey may win after all.
-What? -They're done. They're out of here!
[King] Oh boy.
[Vic] United States Championship on the line,
"The Phenomenal One" AJ Styles putting his title up against Rey Mysterio.
Mysterio already survived a Fatal 4-Way matchup
to earn this opportunity.
And as we saw before the commercial break,
AJ Styles's… What'd you call it?
-An insurance policy? -[King] Yeah.
[Vic] They were sent to the back, so it's Styles one-on-one now
with Mysterio.
And there's no way Mysterio's 100%.
And, you know, King, how much more can Mysterio have in him?
[King] I don't know.
Rey went through that match last night at Survivor Series with Brock Lesnar.
Brock Lesnar weighs 286 Ibs.
He's six foot three.
Rey weighs 175. He's five foot six.
Somehow, it wasn't a miracle,
but he did survive.
And he made it here tonight and he won a Fatal 4-Way.
And now he's still hanging tough with AJ Styles.
[Vic] Mysterio's gonna need a miracle. Oh!
And Styles again to the lower back of Mysterio.
Let's not forget the right knee,
which has been bent and beaten by Styles in this matchup.
AJ, get him out of the corner.
[Vic] And Styles just teeing off on Mysterio.
[crowd booing]
[King] Look at that look on his face.
[Vic] And Mysterio… Oh!
[King] Oh no!
[chuckling] Oh no!
[Vic] Oh no.
But Mysterio able to get out of the way.
[King] That may have been the worst thing possible
to happen to AJ Styles.
-[Vic] And now Rey. -[King] Stay off that top turnbuckle, Rey!
-[Vic] Going all the way to the top rope! -[King] Your knee's bad.
[Vic] One leg and all.
Mysterio
flies through the air!
Where is Mysterio getting this from, King?
[King] I don't know.
-I do not know. -[Vic] Headscissors takedown.
-Styles now rocked. -[King] Are we gonna see a miracle?
[Vic] Mysterio trying to battle back on one leg.
Mysterio taking it right to "The Phenomenal One."
[crowd] …five, six, seven, eight,
nine, ten!
[Vic] Look at that.
[King] It's a miracle this crowd can count to ten.
[Vic] WWE Universe here in Chicago
squarely behind Mysterio.
[King] Whoa.
Oh man. Right in the face.
[Vic] Mysterio charges in, got caught.
Wait a minute, bulldog!
United States title on the line.
Is Mysterio the new champion?
[King] It's a miracle!
[Vic] AJ Styles kicks out at two.
[King] Watch this.
This is… this is amazing.
[Vic] Rey Mysterio somehow able to continue
to dig down deeper and deeper.
Twenty-four hours removed with that match with Lesnar,
finds himself in the match tonight.
[crowd] 619! 619! 619!
619!
[King] This crowd calling for a 619.
[Vic] Well, you can feel the love from the WWE Universe
that is fueling Mysterio right now.
Mysterio, though, took a little too much time,
and Styles making Mysterio pay.
[King] I'll tell you what else is fueling Rey Mysterio.
You know and he knows that his son, Dominik, is watching right now.
And how proud would he be
if Rey could somehow become the United States Champion here tonight?
[Vic] Styles looking to plant Mysterio.
Again, Mysterio able to fight free.
-Mysterio biting Styles' left hand! -[King] Wait, that's not fair!
[Vic] Any means necessary for Mysterio.
And again Styles
catching and planting Mysterio,
center of the ring, to retain the United States Championship!
-Mysterio kicked out! -[King] Got him!
[Vic] Look of disbelief on the face of "The Phenomenal One."
What does Styles have to do to put Mysterio away?
Looking for The Styles Clash, countered by Mysterio.
What does Mysterio have in mind?
-[King] What?! -[Vic] Whoa! Shoulders down.
Title on the line.
And Styles! Oh!
Near-fall.
[King] Vic, do you somehow have a gut feeling
that we're gonna actually witness a miracle here tonight?
[Vic] How much closer, King,
can Rey Mysterio get to pulling off that miracle?
-So close. -[King] Oh, you're right. Watch this.
[Vic] One more time, Mysterio, boom!
Nice counter out of The Styles Clash.
And just…
just in the nick of time.
[King chuckles] Yeah!
WWE Universe thought that they had just witnessed a miracle.
[Vic] Look at Mysterio now.
Mysterio taking down Styles!
-[King] Uh-oh. Oh no! -[Vic] Is Mysterio dialing it up?
[King] Oh no!
[Vic] Mysterio!
-619! -[King] He got him!
-[Vic] 619! -[King] Wait a minute. Wait.
He knocked AJ Styles right into the referee.
[Vic] AJ Styles…
[King] That 619 catapulted…
-Oh, come on! -[Vic] Cover!
Styles inadvertently hit the official.
-[King] Look at this! -[Vic] Oh no.
-[King] Look at this! -[Vic] The OC.
[King] The insurance policy is back.
[Vic] Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, they were sent out of here, King!
[King] The referee doesn't realize that right now.
[Vic] And The OC, just like we saw earlier tonight with Carrillo,
taking it to Mysterio.
[King] Well, that's why this is the only club that matters.
It's the only club you can count on in times of need.
[crowd cheering loudly]
-[King] Wait a minute. Oh no! -[Vic] "The Viper"'s back!
-[King] Cut him off at the pass. -[Vic] Evening the odds.
Randy Orton right in to Luke Gallows.
Karl Anderson taken out as well.
And Orton making a beeline… Oh!
He was looking for AJ Styles.
[King] Are you kidding? Look at this!
-[Vic] Styles… -[King] Oh, he missed.
-Oh! -[Vic] Oh, Mysterio didn't miss!
-Again! -[King] Another 619!
[Vic] 619!
-[King] Oh! -[Vic] RKO!
-[King] What are we witnessing here? -[Vic] We're witnessing a miracle!
Frog Splash! The cover!
You gotta be kidding me!
-Mysterio's the new champion! -[bell rings]
[King] It's a miracle!
[Mike Rome] Here is your winner, and the new United States Champion,
Rey Mysterio!
[King] And there's Rey's son, Dominik.
[Vic] Dominik celebrating with his dad.
After everything Mysterio has been through.
Not just the 24 hours, King.
-Think about the last few months. -[King] Look at this!
[Vic] Mysterio was ready to retire, hang up the mask.
It was because of the love of his son, the love of the WWE Universe,
Rey Mysterio is here, standing as United States Champion.
[Rey Mysterio's theme music playing]
Watching Rey hit The 619 just never gets old.
The win was an incredible testament
to Rey's longevity in professional wrestling.
In fact, on this July 2022 edition of Raw,
Rey would celebrate his 20th anniversary with WWE.
And with his son, Dominik Mysterio, by his side,
the father-son duo took on the Judgment Day team
of Damian Priest and Finn Balor.
[dramatic music playing]
[Corey] Well, we started celebrating
20 years of Rey Mysterio with his son, Dominik.
And then The Judgment Day came, of course, to spoil the party.
[Byron] This was a scheduled matchup. It was going to take place.
But Balor and Priest making sure to offer a little disrespect to Rey Mysterio
prior to the matchup.
[Jimmy] While he was giving love to the crowd here at MSG.
[Corey] That Constant disrespect is what's fired up Rey Mysterio and Dominik,
fired up to finally remove the constant threat
of The Judgment Day in their lives.
[Jimmy] It's well beyond the ring.
He also called Rey Mysterio a bad father in front of his son.
The Judgment Day has made this very personal.
[Corey] Rey now has an opportunity to change Finn's mind.
[Byron A sunset flip all the way for a beautiful reaction from Rey.
Taking a piece of Damian Priest.
[Corey] Rey, you gotta believe, is feeling an extra pep in his step…
Mysterio family in full force in the backstage area.
Tag made to Dominik.
Now the Mysterio family in full force in the ring.
Oh!
[Jimmy] Look at this tandem offense.
-[Corey] Cover by Dominik. -[Byron] Shoulders down.
Oh, kick-out from Finn Balor.
[Corey] On the flip side, The Judgment Day would love
to spoil the evening.
Such a historic evening for the Mysterio family.
[Jimmy] That's what I'm coming to find out about the motivation of The Judgment Day.
Balor and Priest are here to destroy your idols
and to change the future by force.
[crowd] Three, four, five…
[Corey] Mysterio raining down blows here on Finn Balor.
To your point, I guess as an homage to "Latino Heat,"
if you're The Judgment Day, I guess it is sort of a headline-grabbing story,
or if you say…
[Jimmy] Oh my God!
[Corey] You're the ones who caused dysfunction against the Mysterios.
You overcame the Mysterios.
How much stronger does that make the message of The Judgment Day?
-[Rey yelling] -[commentators] Oh!
[Corey] Tremendous impact in the corner, changed the complexion of this matchup.
Balor tags in Priest.
And now The Judgment Day in complete control of Rey Mysterio.
[Byron] We thought The Judgment Day wanted to recruit Dominik Mysterio.
He joined under duress last week during the attack on Rey Mysterio.
Then they beat down Dominik. That's not what we want.
[Corey] No. And it just proved how loyal Dominik is to his father, Rey Mysterio,
willing to sacrifice his own career just to save his father's well-being.
[Jimmy] With The Judgment Day,
it's the question of who will join, who do they appeal to,
and who will they take into the fold?
Huge questions.
[Corey] Imagine how much more appealing The Judgment Day will be
if they destroy and defeat the Mysterios
on Rey Mysterio's 20th anniversary celebration night.
There are a lot of people who want to be part of a movement.
[Byron] Cover, shoulders down.
Did they spoil Rey's night? Not yet.
[Jimmy] Tonight's a chance for both Balor and Priest
to change the future by disrespecting the past.
[Byron] A lot of people pay homage and live off of past legacy.
Balor and Priest are trying to carve their own path
forcefully, painfully, and disrespectfully.
And only strength matters.
Only the here and now,
and right now the here and now is The Judgment Day.
[Jimmy] Balor stomping down on the heart of Mysterio
like a dagger.
Balor has said that himself and Damian Priest
plan to finish what they started last week
with Rey Mysterio and Dominik.
That was one-on-one, Rey Mysterio versus Damian Priest.
And now Finn Balor cranking on the chin of the legend.
-Family looking on backstage. -[cheering]
[Jimmy] Trying to will Rey back into this match.
[Byron] Mysterio able to use his quickness once again.
And makes the tag to his son, Dominik.
[Corey] Who's flying high, crossbody, shoulders down.
[Byron] Close, but a kick-out from Finn Balor. Beautiful arm drag.
[Corey] Dominik so proud of carrying the Mysterio name,
carrying on the legacy of the Mysterio family.
[Byron] Sold-out crowd at MSG behind young Dominik.
-[Jimmy] I think- -[Byron] Priest might be the legal man.
[Corey] I think you're right.
I don't know if Dominik Mysterio's aware of that.
Or perhaps he is!
-[Byron] Oh! -[Corey] Through the ropes. What…
They're right here in front of us. Power from Damian Priest. Just…
Oh my God!
No celebration now from The Judgment Day.
[Corey] On a night when the Mysterios should be celebrating,
they are defending themselves from The Judgment Day.
[Byron] Twenty years of Rey Mysterio, but right now, it's Dominik
defending the family name against Finn Balor.
[Corey] Dominik Mysterio desperately needs to make his way to the corner
to tag in his father, Rey.
[Jimmy] Damian Priest is in, but so is Rey Mysterio.
[Corey] Rey going down low on Damian Priest. Picking up sp--
[Byron] Oh my God!
[Corey] Classic offense from Rey Mysterio.
[Byron] Never know what he's gonna do next.
But you know it's gonna hurt.
Been "The Giant Slayer" for 20 years.
Doing it again against Damian Priest.
-[Corey] Mysterio makes the climb! -[Jimmy] Cover.
[Corey] Shoulders down, hooking the leg.
Kick-out from Damian Priest.
[Byron] Again, what better way to make what's already been a celebratory evening,
if the Mysterios can defeat The Judgment Day here tonight…
[Jimmy] Oh, oh, oh, that's a big "if," Saxton.
[Corey] Shoulders down, Damian Priest with the cover.
Whoa.
Milliseconds away.
[Byron] Take a look at the impact. Boom!
Right in the mouth.
One, two…
Again, Rey Mysterio's survival
in this predicament is the hallmark of who Rey Mysterio is,
his career, his… his resiliency, his ability to… to survive
when you think he's done for.
[Corey] That's being tested right now by Damian Priest.
Look at the hurricanrana escape!
[Byron] Oh, in position is Priest!
[Jimmy] Finn Balor just tagged himself in!
-[Corey] Oh man! -[Byron] God!
[Corey] Full speed.
[Byron] He was looking for the 619. Change of plans, courtesy of Finn Balor.
[all groan]
[Byron] Shotgun dropkick in the corner. Rey Mysterio is in the drop zone.
Finn Balor perched up top.
There it is!
This one's finished, gentlemen.
[Corey] Oh, it is not finished! Not yet.
[Byron] Dominik Mysterio at 2.999,
keeping this matchup alive for himself and his father.
[Jimmy] Interrupted what would have been a surefire three-count.
Finn Balor can't believe it.
[Byron] Finn Balor looks incensed.
What is Damian… Oh.
-No. -[Jimmy] Not this. Not this again.
Damian Priest has got a steel chair.
Sick smile on the face of Finn Balor.
[Corey] He's not worried about a disqualification.
Now Finn Balor's got it in hand.
Referee's back is turned.
[Byron] Oh, wow.
[Jimmy] The reverse of the old Eddie Guerrero trick.
Referee's still distracted.
[Corey] Dominik Mysterio has the official's attention.
-[Byron] Wow! Hey! -[Jimmy] Chair through the guts!
[all laugh gleefully]
[Corey] That's how you do it.
[Jimmy] Turnabout is fair play!
[Corey] The official was debating disqualifying Finn Balor in the meantime.
[Jimmy] Not even waiting for it as Rey Mysterio…
Dial it up, gentlemen!
[Corey] MSG style!
[Byron] 619 on The Judgment Day!
[Corey] Mysterio headed up top.
[Jimmy] DQ's not good enough!
Not for Rey Mysterio. Not tonight.
One, two, three!
Victory on his 20th anniversary!
La familia celebrating!
[announcer] …and Rey Mysterio!
[Corey] Could you have asked for a better outcome
for Rey and Dominik Mysterio?
Overcoming The Judgment Day here tonight.
And now the celebration of Rey Mysterio's 20-year career
here in WWE continues on.
It truly was a family affair for the Mysterios that night
on Monday Night Raw.
But unfortunately, that unbreakable bond would start to show some cracks
compliments of Dominik's new girlfriend, "The Eradicator" Rhea Ripley.
And their once-close relationship became irreversibly estranged.
But this is WWE.
And if you're looking to settle your differences,
there is only one place to do it.
Inside the squared circle.
So on a July 2024 edition of Raw,
"Dirty Dom" and his shady accomplice, Liv Morgan,
would attempt to lie, cheat, and steal their way to retribution.
[bell rings]
[Cole] So here we go, underway. Dominik and Rey Mysterio here tonight.
They had never been able to patch things up.
If Dominik could have a relationship with his dad,
Rey could tell how to handle this whole Liv Morgan - Rhea Ripley situation.
Give him some fatherly advice.
Look at how he's treating the man.
[Corey] What does Rey Mysterio know about women troubles?
He's always been running around with a mask on 'cause he's hideous.
[Cole] He's been married a long time. He's got a beautiful wife and family.
Maybe Dominik should look at that.
[Corey] They say you're only as loyal as your options.
[Cole] You're an idiot.
Here we go now. Mysterio sent across the ring by Dominik.
The Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio leapfrogged by Dominik Mysterio.
Oh, right to the face!
That had to feel good for Rey.
[Corey] Yeah, a lot of fathers wake up
from dreams about stomping on their own son's face.
That's very normal behavior, Rey.
Not unhealthy or toxic at all.
[Cole] Well, Dominik…
Rey taking Dominik down into the barricade.
Rey Mysterio teaching his son a lesson here tonight on Raw.
-[crowd cheering wildly] -[referee] Two!
[Cole] Well, Dominik Mysterio has taken control of this matchup
with his father, Rey Mysterio.
During the commercial break, we are in Boston tonight,
14,778 WWE fans on hand
for this WrestleMania rematch.
Things not going like they did at WrestleMania for Rey.
Cover by Dominik.
Kick-out at two.
[Corey] That's because Dominik Mysterio has continued to train,
continued to improve, continued to spend time
and pick the brains of The Judgment Day.
Meanwhile, all Rey Mysterio has done is make his son's life hell.
[Cole] And now pounding away on his father, Rey Mysterio.
-I still cannot believe-- -[Dominik] I run this bitch!
[Cole] …the way that this relationship has deteriorated over the years
between Dominik and Rey.
Once again, it's led to this.
Oh!
[Corey] Flying back elbow by Dom.
[Cole] Cover again by Dom. Hook of the leg on Rey and a kick-out.
Dominik would love to beat his dad tonight and embarrass him
here on Monday Night Raw.
[Dominik] Come on, Rey!
What you got?
[Corey] "Dirty Dom"'s got to realize that Liv is definitely looking on
wherever she's at.
[Cole] Who calls their dad by their first name?
[Corey] Someone whose dad has mistreated them
for the duration of their existence.
[crowd chanting] Shave your mustache! Shave your mustache!
[Rey groans]
[Cole] Again, Dominik just pounding away on Mysterio.
Into the corner goes Rey!
Shoulder-first.
[Corey] That may have broken Rey's heart, literally.
[Cole] The last two years have broken Rey Mysterio's heart. He…
-One! -[Cole] Look at them!
Cocky cover by Dominik.
-That should have been a three. -No way.
[Cole] Estranged father and son.
Breaks Angie's heart, Aalyah, Dominik's sister as well,
to see what their… their dad
and… Dominik
battling each other again here tonight.
[Corey] Probably gonna hurt them if they were both complicit
watching Dom grow up the way he had to.
[Cole] Rey trying to fight back into this thing.
Nice drop toehold by Mysterio.
Dominik into the second rope.
You can spew all your propaganda over there on Friday nights.
You're not gonna here on Mondays.
As Rey is now sending his son face-first into the turnbuckle!
[Corey] That's why I keep Barrett around.
[Cole] He's another one.
And Rey now, out to the apron,
trying to pick up the pace in this matchup.
Dominik a little stunned, not sure where he is.
Down goes Dom off the senton by Rey.
-Crossbody. -[Corey] Oh man!
[Cole] What impact!
Rey may have knocked his son out.
Rey slow to his feet after that.
-[Corey] Came down hard on his knee. -[Cole] Hard on his body.
Now watch this again. Rey Mysterio.
-[Corey] Wow. -[Cole] The impact.
Up over the top goes Dominik. Rey able to roll through.
Kick to the face of Dom!
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] And look who's here.
Liv Morgan still the world champ
because of Dominik's antics earlier tonight.
Get outta here!
[Cole] Obviously, Liv out here perhaps to repay the favor.
[Corey] Sunset flip by Rey.
Dom rolls through, looking for a catapult.
[Cole] Rey face-first. And now…
[Corey] The half crab submission.
Brilliantly executed by "Dirty Dom."
-[Cole] Almost a full crab here. -Giving up, yes or no?
[Cole] As Rey's trying to make it to the bottom rope to force a break,
Morgan looking on,
big smile on her face.
Let him go. He's got the rope.
[Cole] Dom less vocal with Morgan's appearance here
than he was earlier when he came out for her match.
[Corey] Because Dom's a professional. He's in the ring with a Hall of Famer.
He's got to give at least professional respect to his dad.
[Cole] I saw Liv Morgan do this earlier.
Looking for The Three Amigos.
Not paying homage at all to Eddie Guerrero.
[Corey] You think Dom's paying homage to Liv?
[Cole] Rey now.
Dropped to the knee.
[Corey] Oh no.
[Cole] Mysterio with him in position!
And Liv Morgan pulling Dominik out of harm's way.
[Corey] What a woman!
That is a ride or die if there ever was one.
-What are you doing here? -I just wanted to come see you.
Get out of here!
I just wanted to see you. I didn't think about it.
-[Corey] Oh, and Rey… -[Cole] Oh no.
[crowd cheering, laughing]
[Cole] Rey…
[Corey] Well, Dom did look in a hurry to get out of that compromising position.
…Dominik. That was my moment there. That was my moment!
[Rey] Get out of here! Don't touch me!
[Corey] Rey telling Morgan to get outta here.
Dominik with a kick to his dad.
This is the damnedest stuff I've ever witnessed.
[Cole] Oh, now dropping Rey on the back of his neck.
-Cover by Dominik. -One!
[Cole] Hook of the leg.
Rey stays in it.
Morgan trying her best to, uh… to help out Dominik here.
Now Zelina Vega with a little payback.
And Vega and Morgan now in a brawl outside the ring.
[Liv groaning loudly]
[Corey] Morgan sent spine-first into the barricade.
Now, remember, Rey and Dom's match is still technically happening.
It's still underway.
[Cole] Now Dominik has Rey in position.
For a 619!
[Corey] Oh my God, the poetic justice just couldn't get any sweeter.
Making the cli…
-[Cole] Dominik now. Morgan and Zelina. -[Corey] Wow!
Attagirl.
[Cole] Oh, and Zelina took out Morgan who took out Dominik!
[Corey] Oh no, "Dirty Dom"'s in trouble.
[Cole] That's not gonna help their relationship
as Dominik now is hurt on the top rope, the top turnbuckle.
Mysterio with a 619.
"Dirty Dom" down and out.
Dropping the Dime is Mysterio
for the win.
-[bell rings] -[crowd cheering]
[Rey Mysterio's theme music playing]
[Samantha Irvin] Here is your winner,
WWE Hall of Famer
Rey Mysterio!
[Cole] Zelina Vega with a bit of a payback tonight.
Things backfired for Morgan and "Dirty Dom."
Rey Mysterio beats his son again.
-[Corey] Say what you just said. -I just wanted to help. No, please.
I'll fix it. I'll fix it.
Dominik, I can fix this.
[Big E] Sorry, Dom, but Daddy's still got it.
In fact, Dom, if you ever want to fill your dad's shoes,
you got a lot of catching up to do.
Because Rey Mysterio has literally done it all in WWE.
Three World Championships. Two Intercontinental Championships.
Three United States titles.
Five Tag Team titles.
Three Cruiserweight Championships.
And, oh yeah, a Royal Rumble winner.
[King] Whoa!
It's been an amazing Hall of Fame career,
and it's still going strong today.
Thanks for joining me for this, the Raw Classics of Rey Mysterio.
I'm your boy, Big E.
So long.
