ADR says that his name is Albertooooo Del Rioooooooooo. The Undisputed WWE Champion. ADR says he’s been saying it for weeks; that it was his destiny to be WWE Champion. ADR says he didn’t intend to cash in at SummerSlam. He says that Destiny does whatever it wants. ADR says he couldn’t resist after what Nash did. He says that some are born to be great and that he is the greatest of the great. He says that as our champion he wants to represent every single one of us with respect, honesty, and passion. He just wants to be our champion. He says that he will be signing autographs and taking pictures with the audience. He says he just wants to be a champion for the people. (Gimmick Infringement) He says that he will be fighting the former champion Rey Mysterio. He says when he was told he would defend against Rey he was happy. He loves Rey Mysterio because he is a Mexican Idol, a grand luchadore. He says he loves beating Rey Mysterio. He says he started his career beating Rey. He says he feels like beating Rey Mysterio. He says that’s exactly what he’s going to do tonight, beat the little chihuahua Rey Mysterio. He tells the audience to change their area code because they will have a new hero in Alberto Del Rio.
