It’s always fun to send the crowd home happy. After this week’s episode of Smackdown Live went off the air, there was a dark match, as there is after most television tapings. This past week, Rey Mysterio defeated Randy Orton to close out the action for the evening.

It was previously announced that the two rivals will be competing against each other at TLC this Sunday in a Tables Match.

Mysterio tried to get the upper hand on Orton this week, by attacking him with a chair during Smackdown Live. You can see a clip of that below:

Editor’s Opinion:

This was a good idea for many reasons. One, it gives the crowd the opportunity to go home happy, as a strong babyface gets a win. Two, it will undoubtedly create some buzz on the internet, and allow the fans to be more excited about their match at TLC. Both Orton and Mysterio are outstanding and legendary performers, and I can’t wait for their match this weekend!
