Rey Mysterio defeats Angel Garza

Monday Night Raw February 3

When the bell rang, Garza got out of the ring. Back in the ring, Garza took Rey down with a headlock takeover and Rey countered into a head scissors. The two men evaded several offensive moves before Mysterio took him down with a hurricanrana. Garza ripped his pants off and threw them at Mysterio for an attempted distraction.

With Mysterio hanging upside down in the corner, Garza charged in with a kick. Garza evaded the 619 and tripped Mysterio up to go face first on the apron and roll to the outside. Back from commercial, Mysterio hit a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, but Garza sent Mysterio straight into the turnbuckle. Showboating for the crowd, Garza took too much time and missed a second rope moonsault giving Mysterio an opening.

Garza went for the wing clipper, but Mysterio evaded, and hit a destroyer. When Mysterio went for the 619, Vega moved Garza out of the way. He then hit Garza with a dive, but Vega got in his face. Garza would toss Mysterio into the barricade and then DDT him on the exposed concrete.

The referee called for the bell for what we assume must be a disqualification. This match should have been better, but it ended up being average.
