For the first time since his return last year, Rey Mysterio will be challenging for the World Championship. He finally earned his spot after going through a "Murderers Row" so to speak - in a match comprising of AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Ricochet, Robert Roode and himself.

It was a great match which Mysterio dedicated to Dominick and the right person went over since he has just about been gaining momentum back.

Firstly, it's good to see Mysterio getting the respect he deserves. Even though the story is about him being the aging veteran, the reality of what we see is that Mysterio is far from that.

He can still go like it's 15 years ago and he remains one of the most unbelievable in-ring talents of all time. There was one particularly interesting spot that got a big pop - his brief standoff with Ricochet.

It was instantly acknowledged as a big dream match and they only interacted briefly before they were separated. It seems clear that WWE was testing the waters for a potential program between the two high-flying superstars.
