At the Royal Rumble, Cena made a surprise return, entering as the thirtieth participant. Cena went on to win the match after last eliminating Triple H. The following night on ''Raw'', Cena told Orton that he couldn't wait until WrestleMania and decided to cash in his title opportunity at No Way Out, which Orton accepted. The main feud on the SmackDown brand was between Rey Mysterio and Edge, with the two battling over the World Heavyweight Championship. Mysterio won a Beat the Clock Challenge on the January 4 episode of ''SmackDown'', defeating Edge with 90 seconds to go, to earn a title shot at Royal Rumble. At the Royal Rumble, Edge retained the title after his on-screen lover, SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero, interfered by receiving an attack for Edge by Mysterio. This distracted Mysterio and allowed Edge to Spear Mysterio in mid-air, which allowed Edge to retain his title. On the February 1 episode of ''SmackDown'', Theodore Long, who was acting as the General Manager due to Guerrero's scripted injury, assigned a rematch between the two at No Way Out.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SmackDown! results – February 1, 2008 )〕 Mysterio was injured at a live event overseas on February 13, but still chose to compete in his match.
