As he was speaking, his current rival soon showed up to blast with some tough words. He mentioned how Rey Mysterio is vacating the title not because he is in pain with his shoulder but with the fear of Samoa Joe. It’s him who cost the injury by delivering a beatdown to Rey at Money in the Bank.

Rey Mysterio had no choice but to hand over the title to the Samoan Submission Machine who wanted to add some salt to the wound. He locked in the Coquina Clutch on the masked superstar who was literally helpless. The chokehold was in for quite sometimes until the officials ran out to the ring to make the save. Thus, Mysterio short US title reign came to an end.

Rey Mysterio suffered the devastating injury at the bygone Money in the Bank event. He was already going through a lot of troubles due to a bruised shoulder. But that allowed him to go through with matches. However, the situations worsened due to the post-match attack suffered by Samoa Joe. He was irate on losing the US title to Rey Mysterio and delivered an Uranage after the match. The botched delivery of the move separated his opponent’s shoulder.

This arrived like a piece of bitter news from the 3-time world champion in WWE who also became a Grand Slam champion in the company. There was no time for celebration for the popular star as WWE rushed him to the medical facility in Alabama. The news of not getting him into a surgery looked somewhat positive. However, on last week’s WWE Raw, we received the bad news of a title relinquishment, (via WWE.com)

“Last week’s Raw brought with it the grim news that the injured Rey Mysterio will be forced to surrender the United States Championship, as a separated shoulder will prevent him from defending it. Samoa Joe, understandably, is licking his chops and for a very specific reason: The Samoan Submission Machine has already announced he’ll be waiting for Mysterio’s abdication to take back what he believes is rightfully his following a controversial loss at WWE Money in the Bank.”
