ROCHESTER, N.Y.– After proving its show superiority at WWE Bragging Rights, SmackDown turned its full attention to all-out Survival.

At WWE Bragging Rights, Batista snapped on his comrade-in-arms Rey Mysterio, blaming the masked Superstar for costing him the gold against The Phenom. And while Mysterio returned to SmackDown trying to rectify the situation, The Animal wanted to have no part of it. Instead, Batista demanded The Master of the 619 leave “his” ring. Mysterio continuously refused, trying desperately to fix things between himself and his “best friend.” Finally, an incensed Batista walked away.

Later, when Matt Hardy tried to prevent Batista from making the same mistakes he did against a “brother,” Batista responded by throwing him into a chain link fence (WATCH). As a result, The Animal will take on Hardy next week.
