As part of the annual Royal Rumble match in 2006, Rey Mysterio was able to last eliminate Randy Orton in order to book his ticket to WrestleMania.
This was just two months after Eddie Guerrero passed away and emotions were still running high when Latino Heat was brought into the storyline. Orton used Guerrero's name in vain, which then led to Mysterio putting his main event title match on the line at No Way Out.

The match saw Orton use the ropes as leverage in order for him to defeat Mysterio and take his place in the main event against Kurt Angle. SmackDown General Manager Teddy Long was later able to sympathize with Mysterio and added the star to the match, making it a triple threat.
As part of the show on April 2nd in Chicago, Mysterio was able to defeat both men by pinning Randy Orton following a West Coast Pop to become World Champion for the first time.
