John "Bradshaw" Layfield defeated CM Punk on March 9th, 2009 on an episode of Raw to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship. A week later, JBL's old rival, Rey Mysterio, issued a challenge to face JBL for his Intercontinental title at Wrestlemania 25. With the match accepted by JBL, this would be the first time since Wrestlemania 18 that the aforementioned title belt would be defended on a Wrestlemania card. On the March 31st episode of Raw, JBL was pinned by Mysterio in a non-title match.
