Rey Mysterio announced on SmackDown Live that he will be facing Samoa Joe for the WWE US Title at WrestleMania. It certainly left fans surprised since they definitely didn’t expect this.
Dave Meltzer discussed the US title picture and when WWE expected to go this way during Wrestling Observer Radio. It seems that WWE didn’t see this coming at Fastlane if we take into consideration how the US Title match ended.
“To show you how short-sighted or how far this booking went Joe choked Rey out at the last pay-per-view to win when you had R-Truth who could have lost or Andrade who could have lost that are going nowhere. So that tells you on the day of the last pay-per-view there’s no way that this match was planned.”
“Now by that Tuesday when Rey goes and beats [Joe] in that tag [match] it probably was.”
Rey Mysterio might be walking out of Wrestlemania with his first ever US Title win. We will have to wait and see if he can do it.
