Another really solid, well worked match.

Out came Richardo Rodriguez. He introduced Alberto........and the crowd finished "Del Rio."
Out came former WWE World champion Alberto Del Rio. Out came Alberto in street clothes. He said he has so "f***ing" missed you guys. He said that he's so happy to be here because a few weeks ago, he thought he wasn't going to be able to wrestle in the United States for a year. He said that he's here for the same reason as the fans, to have fun and he's so excited to be in the "ECW Arena" for the first time. The crowd chanted "ECW" and Alberto joined in on the mic. The crowd chanted, "F*** McMahon" and Del Rio tried to get Ricardo to join in. Del Rio said that when Tommy Dreamer invited him to come to House of Hardcore, he had to say yes. Ricardo told him that he meant, "Si." Del Rio said that in HOH, "we aren't sports-entertainers, we are f***ing wrestlers."
Myers tried to attack him but Del Rio ducked and Richardo kicked him low. Del Rio locked on the cross armbreaker and Myers tapped.
