Randy Orton, the man who was thrown out of the ring by Rey to win the Rumble, immediately began getting into Rey's head, in order to lure him into putting his title shot at WrestleMania on the line.

As a devastated Mysterio was talking about Eddie Guerrero, Orton interrupted him and went on to state that Eddie wasn't in Heaven, but he was down in Hell.
