On Smackdown, Mr. Kennedy fought former world champion Rey Mysterio. Mr. Kennedy had the match well in hand, ready to annihilate poor Rey with a devastating Green Bay Plunge, but he allowed Rey to do a top rope hurricanrana for the win. This was because he wanted to rope-a-dope him. This was a meaningless match, and ensures that Rey will be overconfident this weekend at Survivor Series. Look for a punishing Green Bay Plunge or two on a bigger state, setting up Mr. Kennedy's Intercontinental Title run.
