For Rey Mysterio, what started as a war of words with SmackDown commentator John Bradshaw Layfield turned into a series of cheap attacks by Finlay. In recent weeks, JBL’s disparaging remarks – fueled by his hatred for Mysterio, who last year forced the one-time “wrestling god” into retirement – have served only to incite the masked Master of the 619, while the Irishman who loves to fight has provided the smackin’ behind JBL’s yakkin’.

As a result of the persistent sneak attacks, Vickie Guerrero, wasting no time in making her mark as SmackDown’s Acting General Manager, announced that Finlay will face Rey Mysterio in the ring at No Mercy. No more talking, no more foreign objects or surprises. When the masked Superstar and the Irishman battle one-on-one at the pay-per-view, they’ll do so on a level playing field. And Rey will have twice as much motivation to overcome a relentless brawler like Finlay, as doing so might also shut JBL up in the process.
