Rey Mysterio returned to SmackDown LIVE for the blue brand's 1000th episode tonight, and it was a triumphant comeback.
Rey defeated United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura with the 619 to earn his way into the World Cup tournament to determine the "best wrestler in the world" that'll take place at Crown Jewel in 3 weeks time.
It's been a while since we've seen Mysterio compete in a singles match in WWE, but he hadn't missed a beat thanks to the various promotions he's been wrestling for over the years since parting ways with the company.
