Rey Mysterio will face Andrade (aka Andrade “Cien” Almas) this Tuesday on Smackdown in a best 2-of-3 falls match. The bout was officially confirmed by WWE.com earlier today.
Andrade defeated Mysterio in single’s action last week on Smackdown. 2 weeks ago Andrade and Samoa Joe defeated Mysterio and Mustafa Ali in tag-team action.
Andrade and Mysterio have been wrestling at WWE live events the last couple of months as well. They wrestled in November on Smackdown in a Survivor Series qualifying match, which Mysterio won.
“Will Mysterio get the leg up on Andrade this time around? Or, will the surging Andrade take down The Greatest Mask of All Time again, seizing pivotal Royal Rumble momentum in the process?” – WWE press release.
Smackdown This Week
Smackdown takes place from Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita, KS this week. Mustafa Ali vs Samoa Joe has also been scheduled for the show. They were supposed to wrestle last week as well but Joe attacked Ali before the bell and the match was ruled a no-contest.
“The Samoan Submission Machine would cite that his reason for the attack was to send a message to every Superstar ahead of Royal Rumble … but Ali won’t stand to be made an example of.” – WWE press release
