WWE's top 5 moments of the week (October 13 - 20)

#2 Rey Mysterio returns

This wasn't the best way to stage a return. Indeed, this match could have been saved for later, because it had never happened before, but WWE wanted to do something big for SmackDown 1000, understandably.

The match wasn't great, but the implications matter more. Rey Mysterio will be a top babyface on a blue brand that was desperately short of them and he can bring some excitement wherever he goes in the future.

A United States Championship rivalry with Andrade "Cien" Almas for WrestleMania is something that will no doubt be in the minds of many fans, and what better way to give the former NXT Champion his first main roster title than with a win over a legend like Mysterio?

That possibility alone makes Rey Mysterio's return important, but there are many others that will make this headline worthy for more than just one week.
