No Rey did not lose most of the feud with Y2J, it was pretty much even. Rey was always getting the best of Batista to the end of 2009, so much that I was just waiting for him to lose, coz he was winning too much. Rey faced HBK when DX made that one trip to Smackdown and HBK SCM Rey like he did it to Shelton, right before the Rumble. That brings me to my next recap when he faced Taker for the WHC at Rumble. You say Rey retired JBL in 2006, I'm sure he also did that in 2009, apparantly things never get old in WWE.
