Rey Mysterio to defend World Title against JBL on 5/21, ECW PPV note
On Saturday, April 29, 2006 at 4:04 PM EST WWE.com is reporting that the main event for WWE's Judgment Day PPV on May 21 in Phoenix, Arizona will be Rey Mysterio defending the World Heavyweight Championship against current WWE United States Champion JBL.
This may or may not confirm earlier reports this week in the Pro Wrestling Torch that JBL was the likely candidate to defeat Mysterio for the World Title and then defend that title against Rob Van Dam at the second ECW One Night Stand PPV on June 11 when RVD cashes in his "Money in the Bank" clause.
There are some conflicting reports on that theory as some state that as of today, that was not the plan and the original plan was still in place to have Rob Van Dam face the RAW Champion (WWE Champion) at that time in June. We hope to get more information on this as it becomes available.
