Who should have won: Randy Orton
Top WWE star punished? More details HERE
Rey Mysterio's victory was moving at the time in tribute to Eddie Guerrero, but it made little sense in hindsight. Randy Orton was coming off a breakout year in 2005 where his feud with The Undertaker was one of the top programs.
Orton would go on to meet Kurt Angle in the championship match at WrestleMania anyway along with Rey Mysterio. Randy Orton was clearly the future. The triple threat only took the spotlight off of him.
Mysterio's title reign after WrestleMania that year was largely symbolic and didn't add much for the long term.
