Report: WWE Ended Rey Mysterio vs. Samoa Joe Early At Money In The Bank

The reported reason why Joe versus Mysterio ended so quickly.

Rey Mysterio became a Grand Slam Champion in WWE at Money In The Bank when he defeated Samoa Joe to capture the United States Championship. The match went approximately two minutes and according to PWInsider, the reason for that derives from WWE deciding to cut the match short due to blood. There was a point during the match when Rey Mysterio either kicked Joe in the face or executed a senton that opened up the former United States Champion.
