The Eddie Guerrero/Rey Mysterio match was their last high profile match if not the final encounter between the two before Eddie's passing. In terms of in ring quality, it was a decent match. It has its notable "Where the f*** is Vicky?" botch. It was not as good as their Halloween Havoc match, since nothing they did could top that. But at least it didn't feel rushed and forgotten like their WrestleMania 21 match.
It seems that WWE wanted them to have a ladder match, and the Dominik custody storyline was build around that to give me a reason to have that match without having a belt above since neither was in the title picture at that time. The Dominik storyline in my opinion was utter garbage as it was over the top unbelievable.
But what else should WWE have done instead to give Rey and Eddie a ladder match without a title involved?
The money in the bank debuted earlier that year, and SummerSlam was too early to repeat that concept. Would anybody had cared if they stuck the Intercontinental or United States title up there? Then, there is a loser gets fired pink slip in a briefcase trope, which nobody actually gets fired. Maybe they could have done loser leaves Smackdown, but then the loser would have just shows up on Raw the last week.
