OK, so we blasted the ending of the Rey Mysterio/Andrade match, but we have to give it a pretty big “up” here too for being a really good bout up to that point.

The United States Championship match was just the latest in a series of contests between the two superstars, proving that they have great chemistry together in the ring. Rey really has showed that he knows how to operate within the limitations of his body while still doing impressive things, like pulling a Canadian Destroyer out of nowhere. And Andrade has been crisp since forever.

Until the botched ending of the match, this was cruising along really well and looking like a PPV-quality bout, so we’ll give it credit here.
