At WrestleMania 25 in 2009, Rey Mysterio faced JBL for the Intercontinental Championship. Even before the match could start, JBL attacked Mysterio. He kicked and punched Mysterio to the ground, thus gaining momentum even before the match could officially begin.

However, once the referee started the match, Mysterio shocked the whole world, as he delivered his signature move 619 on JBL within seconds. He quickly pinned him and became the Intercontinental Champion. The match was over in just 21 seconds. Along with JBL, the entire WWE Universe was in awe and could not believe the outcome. It was one of the shortest matches ever in the history of WrestleMania as well as in WWE. This was Mysterio's first ever Intercontinental Championship victory.
