I think Ray knew it too and knew that he got off very, very easy in their one and only encounter and did not do a rematch because of it.

To be fair, Ray was rusty, and not back in the groove.
It's all conjecture. I'm reasonably confident in a rematch, Ray would have been better, too.
Again, SRL had every disadvantage. His situation would only improve in an immediate sort of rematch situation.
