HH: It was bad here is what i recall, Rey Mysterio is backstage in his locker room. In comes Matt Striker, and he attacks. They begin brawling around the room. Bobby Lashley comes in too, and he joins in the attack on Mysterio. The two-on-one attack leaves Rey Mysterio down in his own locker room, Until i stoped it.

Tazz: I did so course he can.
