Rey Mysterio def. Cody Rhodes (Falls Count Anywhere Match)

TAMPA – If Cody Rhodes was bitter and angry before Extreme Rules, he is surely seething with rage after having lost to Rey Mysterio in a Falls Count Anywhere Match. (PHOTOS)

Utilizing a new trick in his ring arsenal – spitting a mysterious blue-green mist into his opponent’s face – Mysterio was able to disorient Rhodes and finish him off with a 619 and springboard splash combo for the pinfall.

Taking full advantage of the Falls Count Anywhere Match format, the two arch rivals fought it out on the entrance ramp, the arena stairs, concession area, then finally within the ring.

Mysterio’s victory avenged his loss to Rhodes at WrestleMania XXVII.

However, the disdain between Mysterio and Rhodes started well before WrestleMania. The Jan. 21 edition of SmackDown was the fateful night when Mysterio blasted Rhodes with a 619 with an exposed leg brace, instantly breaking Rhodes’ nose. Ever since that night, Rhodes has been on a mission to disfigure Mysterio’s face.

With Mysterio headed to Raw by way of the 2011 WWE Draft, was Extreme Rules Rhodes’ final chance to hurt Mysterio? Or, will he continue in his quest to maim Mysterio? To find out, tune in to Raw on Monday at 9/8 CT on USA Network and SmackDown on Friday at 8/7 CT on Syfy.
