This week’s SmackDown was scheduled to include Santos Escobar challenging Austin Theory for the United States Title. However, Theory attacked Escobar before the match and injured Escobar’s knee. As a result, Rey Mysterio replaces Escobar and won the title, marking the third time in his career that Mysterio won the title. Mysterio is the first WWE Hall Of Famer to win a singles title after being inducted.

Mysterio has had an all time career. Check out what he has done over the years:

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that can make for a special moment, as the title match was not announced but happened anyway, with Mysterio getting the title in a surprise. Theory had held the title for over eight months and was probably due to lose the thing, though it was a bit surprising to see it happen this way. Mysterio as champion can be interesting though and that’s what matters most.
