This match between **Rey Mysterio and Chavo Guerrero on the March 27, 2009 episode of WWE SmackDown! ** was a fast-paced, action-driven singles bout that highlighted the long-standing rivalry and in-ring chemistry between the two competitors. Early on, Chavo used power and technical offense to keep Rey grounded and control the pace, targeting Mysterio with hammerlocks, chops, and uppercuts, even scoring near-falls with a hurricanrana and other strikes. Rey rallied with his signature agility, countering attacks, using head-scissors and springboard moves, and eventually launching a big comeback. After escaping several of Chavo’s offense attempts—including a missed frog splash—Mysterio hit the 619 and followed with a top-rope diving splash to secure the pinfall victory. Just as Rey celebrated, Intercontinental Champion JBL ran out and delivered a Big Boot to him, setting up their upcoming title match at WrestleMania XXV and adding heat to the conclusion of the segment.
