Rey Mysterio comes to the ring and he has something to say before he gets ready for his main event tag match tonight. Rey says that it is good to be back in California and then he speaks in Spanish.

Some have told him that he shouldn’t have chosen a No Holds Barred match because he can hit Rey with any move possible. Rey runs through the area codes in Los Angeles. He says that he will do anything to shut up Chris Jericho.
He won’t be shutting up Chris Jericho tonight because Jericho comes out to the ring. Chris stares at Rey before asking Rey if he thinks the No Holds Barred match will be off the hook. Will it be off the hook when he hits Rey with a chair to give him permanent brain damage? He says that Rey does not know what he is getting himself into.
