Cena opened the show by delivering a promo in Boston, near his hometown of West Newberry. He was interrupted by Mysterio, who was livid after the events of last week involving his father, Rey Mysterio.
However, Cena didn't take kindly to Mysterio's interruption. He challenged him to a match, "any place, any time," and Paul "Triple H" Levesque, who was standing in the ring with them, booked the match on the spot.
Mysterio put his Intercontinental Championship up for grabs in their match. This ended his run of 204 days with the Intercontinental Championship. He previously won it at WrestleMania 41 from Bron Breakker in a fatal four-way match.
