2006 - WWE held a Raw/Smackdown supershow broadcast and taping in Orlando, Florida.

As Mysterio thanked the late Eddie Guerrero for helping him win the Rumble, Randy Orton interrupted and said that Guerrero was "in hell". Later that night, Mark Henry & Randy Orton defeated Rey Mysterio & Kurt Angle when Orton pinned Mysterio, and after the match Orton said that Mysterio's chances of winning the World title were the same as the chances of Eddie Guerrero coming back from the dead, as he goaded Mysterio into putting his Wrestlemania title shot on the line.
