[MUSIC]
Rey Mysterio,
a former World Heavyweight Champion has held ten championships here in the WWE.
Rey's quickness may be a problem for The Phenom.
>> There's no doubt that Rey will try to be evasive and elusive.
>> Notice that the Undertaker come straight forward.
Whereas other superstars will dance around, Undertaker comes right at you.
>> [NOISE] >> What kind of Undertaker do you think
we'll see tonight?
Will it be the same Taker we saw at WrestleMania?
>> Well, every time the Undertaker goes away,
he always comes back with something new.
What that'll be, it's almost like The Undertaker kind of removes himself
from the kingdom but is always watching, his presence is always felt.
>> [NOISE]
>> The last time we saw The Undertaker was
at WrestleMania when he ended the career of Shawn Michaels.
>> And there's the quickness of Rey Mysterio.
>> [NOISE] >> There are a few superstars, if any,
as quick, as Rey Mysterio.
He'll have to use that tonight.
>> He's just gotten The Undertaker mad.
>> The Undertaker's best offense is the ability to withstand punishment.
The Undertaker can take more than any mortal man can dish out.
But Rey Mysterio is unique.
>> Rey Mysterio hasn't earned the nickname the Giant Killer for nothing.
He's beaten bigger foes more than a dozen times.
Can he knock off The Undertaker tonight on SmackDown?
Welcome back to Friday Night SmackDown, you're watching a Fatal 4-Way qualifying
match for the World Heavyweight Championship.
Rey Mysterio going one on one against the returning Undertaker.
>> Two former World Heavyweight champions, arguably two of the most decorated
superstars- >> In WWE history.
>> And this may be over right here, right now.
The Undertaker thinking chokeslam.
>> [NOISE] >> Boy, this is not good.
>> [NOISE] >> Hooking up for
The Last Ride, no, Rey's too quick.
>> Mysterio refused to let go.
>> Here we go!
>> Are we gonna see Mysterio dial it up?
>> Ooh.
>> Erased from your screen was Mysterio by that big boot.
>> Todd, let me ask you this.
The Undertaker is moving better than I've ever seen him before,
Deadman could be in the best shape of his career.
Look at this extension, look at the impact.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Taker just walked
right through- >> Do me a favor, just please call him
Undertaker, I don't want him to come out here and get angry at you.
>> Out goes Mysterio again, and this is not the kind of battle that
Mysterio wants to fight, a physical head on one on one contest.
>> Let me offer you this, right?
Rey Mysterio is used to taking on opponents larger than him,
so having The Undertaker, but not this large.
So Rey Mysterio certainly has in his arsenal to fight back.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> So
after a brutal rivalry with CM Punk, Mysterio now turns his eyes
towards winning the World Heavyweight Championship for a second time.
He called it the dream.
It's what he dreams about every day, but standing in his way, The Phenom,
The Undertaker.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Look at the magnitude of
The Undertaker's return.
>> Aah!
>> His presence here on Friday Night SmackDown, everyone is now on alert
because the Deadman once again rules over his SmackDown kingdom.
>> [NOISE] >> One of these superstars
will join Jack Swagger, the Big Show, and CM Punk at Fatal 4-Way.
>> [NOISE] >> The Undertaker
focusing the attack on Rey Mysterio's back, that neutralises the 619.
Undertaker, very wise, rolling into break the count,
back out to inflict more punishment.
>> [NOISE]
>> If Rey can't hold on to the ropesfor
the 619 with the left hand, Rey is almost neutralized, I emphasize almost.
One of these two men will go on to face World's Heavyweight Champion,
Jack Swagger, and his collegiate grappling ability.
CM Punk, with his mind games and intensity.
And of course, the largest athlete in the world, the Big Show, with his big,
heavy right hand.
>> Cover here from The Undertaker.
>> Not only a cover, it was a cover out of a key lock.
>> [NOISE] >> These men
faced off in the Royal Rumble in a classic confrontation, a match that Rey Mysterio
more than held his own, almost defeated The Undertaker for the World Title.
But it was not to be on that night, can Mysterio pull off the upset here?
>> [APPLAUSE] >> You wanna give it up?
>> Look at the power.
>> Got a nine foot drop right on the injured back for Mysterio, and a two.
>> Two!
>> [NOISE] >> How does Mysterio find a way
to turn the tables here?
It's been complete and utter domination.
>> Now, that's been the question that everyone asks
all throughout Rey Mysterio's career.
It's heart, it's desire, it's the heart of a champion,
you can never underestimate that.
Well Mysterio never backs down, he was actually looking forward to this contest,
believes in himself.
Look at The Undertaker's strength,
got Rey Mysterio back up on his shoulders, but it may backfire.
>> [NOISE] >> Undertaker into the corner and
now Mysterio trying to up the tempo.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> And
Mysterio going for his first cover of the match, and a two.
It's gonna take more than that to put out the Deadman.
Mysterio knows it.
>> Great counter by Mysterio, cover here!
>> Mysterio wasn't intimidated.
That's a great point.
Normally The Undertaker thrives off intimidation, but
if Rey is not afraid, does that neutralize The Undertaker's presence?
>> Mysterio didn't hesitate, didn't miss a beat and nearly got the victory.
>> [NOISE] >> And
now it's The Undertaker who's losing.
>> [NOISE] >> And Mysterio chops The Undertaker down.
Is he gonna be able to dial it up?
Mysterio, 619!
Is Rey Mysterio about to propel himself to Fatal 4-Way?
>> And there is the reason there is only one Undertaker.
>> It all looked so good for
Mysterio but with one giant black glove it changed everything.
Snake Eyes usually followed up, whoa, Rey very smart, very quick.
>> [NOISE] >> Undertaker wearing the wounds of war.
Could we see the eulogy?
Is it the Tombstone?
>> The Tombstone Piledriver by The Undertaker.
And The Phenom is headed for
an opportunity at the World Heavyweight Championship.
[MUSIC]
>> Here is your winner, The Undertaker.
>> Well the big cat is back and the king of the jungle is on the prowl.
The Undertaker sets his sights on the World's Heavyweight Championship after
a gruelling contest.
>> Rey Mysterio it looked like was gonna be able to pull off the victory, but
it all changed right here.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Could this be Jack Swagger's fate come
Fatal 4-Way when the Undertaker, the Big Show, and
CM Punk challenge the World's Heavyweight Champion
