Andrade once again successfully retained the United States Championship against Rey Mysterio on this week's Monday Night Raw, this time in a brutal ladder match. Mysterio looked to have the match won when he powerbombed his opponent off the ladder, then hit a 619. But as he tried to climb Zelina Vega perched herself on top of the ladder and blocked his path. The delay gave the champ enough time to get back up and hit the legendary luchador with a Hammerlock DDT through ladder.

After the win Andrade teased hitting Mysterio with a DDT onto the unprotected concrete floor, but he was chased away by a returning Humberto Carrillo.
