On the May 11 episode of "Raw", Mysterio and Aleister Black were booked to face Seth Rollins and Murphy in a tag team match, where they won by disqualification when Rollins pulled Mysterio off of the ring apron and used the corner of the steel steps to pierce Mysterio's eye, taking Mysterio out of action. This resulted in speculation that Mysterio would "retire", following weeks of being mocked by Rollins. However, Mysterio and Dominik later began targeting Rollins, with Mysterio challenging Rollins to an Eye for an Eye match at The Horror Show at Extreme Rules, and the match was won by "removing" an opponent's eyeball. At Extreme Rules, Mysterio lost the match in a gruesome manner, but doctors believed his eye was able to be saved.
