RAW Went Silent: Why The WWE Depends on Dominik Mysterio

RAW Went Silent: Why The WWE Depends on Dominik Mysterio

Monday Night RAW didn’t fall flat because nothing happened — it went silent because the energy disappeared.


In this episode, I break down how WWE’s current booking has quietly made Dominik Mysterio the engine of RAW’s momentum. The moment Dom steps back from driving the story, the crowd checks out — even during major segments like Liv Morgan’s attack on Stephanie Vaquer.


We cover:

• Why Liv Morgan vs Stephanie Vaquer failed to generate heat

• How Dominik Mysterio subtly showed signs of his Triple A persona

• The growing tension inside Judgment Day between Dom, Finn Bálor, and JD McDonagh

• Finn Bálor’s promo heading into his CM Punk match

• Raquel Rodriguez’s Elimination Chamber qualifier and where she fits going forward


This isn’t a recap — it’s an analysis of what RAW’s silence is telling us heading into WrestleMania season.

1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,320
Sunday Night Raw proves
something the WWE never wants to

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,600
say out loud.
The moment Dominic Mysterio is

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:11,080
no longer directly deriving the
women's stories, the crowd dies.

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,000
You would think Liv Morgan
launching A vicious attack on

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,960
Stephanie Vaquer will wake the
crowd up, and it didn't.

6
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,480
The crowd stayed silent.
That's not on Liv.

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,440
That's not even on Stephanie,
that's on how dependent RAW has

8
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,560
become on Dom to move the
energy, heat and momentum.

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,800
And the most interesting poem.
Dom finally showed hints of

10
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:39,600
becoming his AAA self, while the
rest of all felt completely

11
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,040
lifeless.
Let's start off with the Liv

12
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,880
Morgan promo.
Lil comes out with Dom

13
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,160
Immediately something feels off.
Liv looks sad and Dom looks

14
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:56,600
bored.
Don introduces himself first as

15
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,200
the Devil Champion before
introducing Liv as a World

16
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,960
Rumble winner.
That's new, that matters, that's

17
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,680
AAA Don peeking through, he
brings out Stephanie Bakir and

18
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,520
Jake Cargill.
Liz says she has something she

19
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,480
wants to say first.
She says to Stephanie that she

20
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,200
was right, that she didn't
understand what Stephanie went

21
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,240
through, and she goes on for a
little bit and the crowd starts

22
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:24,440
booing her.
Then Liz stares down Jay,

23
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,040
seemingly making her decision
before she spins and cracks

24
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,640
Stephanie with the mic.
She beats her down, hits her

25
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,600
with the coal breaker, hits her
with the oblivion.

26
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,520
Dom hold hands her the title and
live poses with it.

27
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,360
Live hit throws the title back
down on Stephanie and they leave

28
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,480
and the crowd dead silent.
They didn't react at all.

29
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,080
They tried to do this the fake
sympathy bit with live but it

30
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,640
doesn't land because Stephanie
was called a puta by live 2

31
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,920
weeks ago.
So now all of a sudden the crowd

32
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:02,440
is supposed to have this
sympathy for live just because

33
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,840
she quote UN quote made live
cry.

34
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:11,720
And even now when they had their
own promo where they translated

35
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,960
Stephanie's words again, they
still did not translate Dom's

36
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,520
words.
He was the one saying that you

37
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,600
should be embarrassed.
That is nowhere in Stephanie's

38
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,320
official WWE translation from
that promo last week.

39
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,480
So either live was sad about Dom
saying it where she kind of

40
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,200
intimated in some interviews or
did we're trying to fake it with

41
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,600
some sympathy.
But it still doesn't land.

42
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,080
It's like they were trying to
play two different stories here.

43
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,680
Either Dom made her sad, which
he did because he said something

44
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,600
that Stephanie did not say, or
they were trying to go for a

45
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:48,280
sympathy fake sympathy spot and
it just didn't work.

46
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,840
And the he wasn't even confusing
heat.

47
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,360
It was just not there.
Like immediately.

48
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,080
Dom stepped out of the picture
when Liv was attacking

49
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,000
Stephanie, like he had no part
of it.

50
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,880
He was just in the corner.
He was doing his own thing.

51
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,920
The crowd wasn't happening and
that's what happened.

52
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,040
It died.
This is why they relied too

53
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,960
heavily on Dom for this stuff.
If Dom was directly in this, in

54
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,400
this altercation, like Dom was
getting hit, that was getting

55
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,880
slapped.
Dom was just getting anything

56
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:28,120
from either Stephanie or Liv,
the crowd would have woke up and

57
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,320
they were probably expecting Dom
to do something and he didn't.

58
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,640
And he didn't need to do
anything because this is not his

59
00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:38,160
feud.
But but like I said as soon as

60
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:45,400
he wasn't involved it died hard.
This feud between Liv and

61
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,440
Stephanie is going to be dry as
Buck unless something else is

62
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,920
injected into it name we ever
killed Rodriguez.

63
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,920
We have 50 days until Wrestle
Mania and it as it stands right

64
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:03,520
now, this match is not Wrestle
Mania worthy, not I cannot see

65
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,760
this match being in the main
event of Wrestle Mania Night 1,

66
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,680
not as it stands because we got
to stretch this 50 days into

67
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:19,120
Wrestle Mania 50.
If Dom is exited from this view,

68
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,960
which he should, what else are
they going to do?

69
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,040
They've already had live attack
Stephanie twice.

70
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,400
So what is it now?
It's going to be what

71
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,080
Stephanie's going to be
attacking live now.

72
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:37,960
And then they got to keep
running that back and forth.

73
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,520
They always need to have Raquel
just interject herself into this

74
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:49,840
feud as it is.
But I say all this to say this

75
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,760
Don was not needed for this
segment.

76
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,560
Did he translate for Stephanie?
No, thankfully.

77
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,320
But he didn't.
He wasn't there.

78
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,920
He, I mean, he wasn't there
doing anything for the for the,

79
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,040
for the storyline.
He wasn't translating for Liv.

80
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:13,240
All she all he did was introduce
Liv, Stephanie and Jade and poor

81
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,320
Jade.
You just pull, pull Jade out

82
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,880
there just to say nothing and
Stephanie to say nothing.

83
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,760
Like how could you treat both of
your women's champions like that

84
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,960
where they couldn't say
anything?

85
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,440
At least let Jade say something.
At least let Stephanie say

86
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,040
something.
They didn't even say nothing.

87
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,400
It was just live and even that
little bit wasn't all that

88
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,040
great.
That promo was not hitting for

89
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,560
live.
I'm sorry, this is not me being

90
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,000
a hater.
It didn't plan.

91
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,840
It didn't make sense.
She could have had that promo

92
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,800
against Stephanie on her own and
it probably would have landed

93
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,560
better.
If he actually went back he fade

94
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,080
wise and really reached in her
bag and talked about her

95
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,880
history, that probably would
have hit landed better.

96
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,760
But what she said tonight didn't
and we saw the effects of it.

97
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:11,640
The crowd didn't care.
And so Next up we have the judge

98
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:16,760
with a clubhouse scene and now
we have living Dom on the couch.

99
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:21,000
Raquel is nearby and new gear
looks which looks amazing and

100
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,880
she is trying and failing to
look excited.

101
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,400
The camera pans to JD McDonough
and Finn Velour.

102
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,720
Finn Velour is looking spiffy in
his suit.

103
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,160
JD apologizes for being a hot
head last week, then accepted,

104
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,280
says their family, and then Spin
says something important.

105
00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:45,960
He says that he needs to face CM
Punk on his own and Don then

106
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,240
cuts in.
He says because Finn and JD

107
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,000
didn't have his back, he lost
last week and now he has to deal

108
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,920
with pins the next week for the
Intercontinental title.

109
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,840
JD apologizes and promises we he
will be there for Dom next week.

110
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,760
Finn says that he's focused on
the biggest match of his career.

111
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,480
He reminds Dom that when Dom and
JD were hurt, nobody was

112
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:12,080
watching Finn's back and he
handled it, then drops, then now

113
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,280
drops this line.
He tells Dom it's time to take

114
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,720
responsibility, it's time to
grow up.

115
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,000
And here's the uncomfortable
truth.

116
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,680
I'm right or die for Dom y'all
know me?

117
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,200
But Finn has a point.
Dom does complain when things go

118
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,080
sideways, when he loses the when
he loses the title, he

119
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,000
complaints.
He loses a match.

120
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,760
Complain, complain, complain.
He does that.

121
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,000
You know he's done that all the
way back when he was with Rhea,

122
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,640
rightly or wrongly.
The difference is that Finn gets

123
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:49,440
to say that after 10 years of
what ifs, he's allowed to be in

124
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,480
contention for a title.
He has this main event chance.

125
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,160
He has a chance for a title.
Dom hasn't been allowed to be

126
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:04,000
selfless just yet.
After Finn does his field, Dom

127
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,400
then leaves and then JD tells
Tom he'll talk to him.

128
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:13,800
And now for the first time in
forever, we now have Dawn with

129
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:19,640
some formal momentum and we do
see hints of a Finn and Dom feud

130
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,280
on the horizon.
If y'all peeped in the

131
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,760
clubhouse, we saw thimble or
being see him beating CM Punk on

132
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:37,440
a on a 2K25 screen.
We do see where JD is in the

133
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,960
middle here a little bit, but
he's leaning towards on because

134
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,880
he's still being supported of
Dom Dom is still being his

135
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,000
heeless show.
I know people keep wanting to

136
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,480
say like, you know it's going to
be Finn staying Hill and you

137
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,640
know Liv and Dom will get kicked
out.

138
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,560
Now that man is staying.
He'll Finn is the one presenting

139
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:56,600
face.
He's saying that he wants to

140
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:01,440
face CM Punk on his own.
This is similar to Damian, which

141
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:06,080
is what what Damian used to do
when he was when Finn was trying

142
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,520
to help him when Damian had the
title.

143
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,720
Damian wanted to do things on
his own.

144
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,520
He wanted to be the champion on
his own.

145
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,240
He didn't want Judgment Day,
even though he didn't really say

146
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,000
it.
At least Finn is saying it now

147
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,720
to JD and Dom Damian didn't do
that to Finn.

148
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,000
So when they when Finn was
trying to help, David would get

149
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,960
all butthurt about it because,
you know, say he wanted one on

150
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,480
his own.
But he never did say that

151
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:37,040
directly to Finn.
At least now we have clear words

152
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,520
from Finn saying, Hey, I want to
do this on my own.

153
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,600
And that's, you know, that's a
that is better than we were

154
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,560
getting with Damian.
Damian was just a huge

155
00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:48,880
hypocrite.
Like he would win because of

156
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,680
Finn and JD and Dom helping him
out.

157
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,200
But here Finn is just saying,
Hey, I want to win this on my

158
00:09:55,200 --> 00:10:00,200
own.
He's not asking for help and or

159
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,920
he's not losing and then he gets
upset.

160
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,920
But kind of like Howard Kale did
when he lost, like he's doing it

161
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,840
on his own.
And that's pretty much face

162
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:15,760
behavior.
I do expect JD to align more

163
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,480
with Tom here because JD did
have, he was hot and bothered

164
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,160
last week.
And I really don't like how JD

165
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,960
momentum got halted.
This is just two step forward,

166
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,880
10 steps back with Judgment Day
story because JD's momentum

167
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,320
halted.
He was hot and bothered last

168
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,720
week and it was good.
Like he wanted to do something

169
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,960
he was upset with then, you
know, he was thinking like, then

170
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,880
might be a coward.
And then it just stops and

171
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,880
reverts itself.
And like with JD apologizing

172
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,400
when he really didn't need it.
He needed to keep going with

173
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,480
this momentum of just being hot
and bothered, maybe start

174
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,160
something.
But it's it.

175
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,240
We should be used to this by now
with Judgment Day story.

176
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,120
And Next up we have Finn Balor's
promo.

177
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:10,920
He has a nice slick video
package here, then says that he

178
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,400
knows people are mad at him, but
he needs them to understand that

179
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,320
this isn't about him.
He says that he has to prove

180
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,280
something to the doubters, to
the critics and even Judgment

181
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,000
Day.
He talks about 10 years of what

182
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,840
if, What if he was champion.
He said when he lost in Belfast

183
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,760
he started asking.
He stopped asking what if and

184
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,440
started asking when.
When he beats him punk, when he

185
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,280
becomes the world heavyweight
champion and when they are no

186
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:35,720
mix.
No more excuses.

187
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,440
He says that when that happens,
everyone will know who the real

188
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,920
best in the world is.
And that was that.

189
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,640
This it the promo pretty much
did what it needed to do is

190
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,560
another face leaning promo.
It's still not a turn for the

191
00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:52,560
demented demon known as Femble
or but it's face leaning and

192
00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:58,840
it's getting thin there and it's
in the promo did what it does,

193
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,200
what it needed to do ahead of
the Elimination Chamber.

194
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,280
And Next up we have the
elimination qualifier for the

195
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,200
women, which was Raquel
Rodriguez versus EO, Sky versus

196
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,760
Kyrie Sane and Big Sexy.
Raquel wins after hitting the

197
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:21,960
Tejano bomb on Kyrie Sane.
Raquel look great.

198
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,280
I love her gear, like her gear
choices recently have been

199
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,040
banging and I just love her.
I like her whole look, she's

200
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,520
been looking great.
Her power spots, power spots

201
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:37,040
landed and she was all over the
place and what she needed to do.

202
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,880
The match were good.
The crowd was still kind of dead

203
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,400
but I think they just were taken
out because Bronson Reed got

204
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,120
hurt earlier in the night and I
don't think they ever recovered

205
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,440
from that and and what they saw
earlier prior to this match

206
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:54,880
didn't help matters either.
With the win, Raquel finally has

207
00:12:54,880 --> 00:13:02,320
much needed momentum.
She had been doing nothing for

208
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,080
these past couple weeks.
She's just been around Liv and

209
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,360
I'm really saying nothing, just
looking sad and having looks.

210
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,920
But now she has a win.
It's unclear she wins the

211
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:14,960
Elimination Chamber.
Now.

212
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:20,040
I do know that the WWE said that
this Elimination Chamber is for

213
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,480
Jade's title since Liv chose
Stephanie.

214
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:28,840
However, however, the WWE can
change its mind and change the

215
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,640
rules.
Raquel could totally force A

216
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:37,240
herself into his match if they
wanted to go that way.

217
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,680
And I'm saying this because
Jay's been staring down

218
00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:44,680
Charlotte Flair, and Charlotte
Flair is not even in the

219
00:13:44,680 --> 00:13:47,920
Elimination Chamber this year.
Ria's in there, but I'm not even

220
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,480
sure Ria's going to win this and
hopefully not.

221
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,560
We don't get Tiffany again.
Like I don't hope, I hope they

222
00:13:54,560 --> 00:13:58,240
don't run that well again with
Tiffany.

223
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,040
Like we don't need Tiffany.
We saw that last year.

224
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,440
Herbert have her do something
else.

225
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,880
But it's a chance.
I'm not saying that it's like

226
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:12,000
8020, but it's a chance that can
Raquel could win this and I'm

227
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,280
all for it because Raquel needs
that momentum.

228
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,000
She had been she had lost.
She lost her, her story,

229
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:24,840
everything was, you know,
everything was going down the

230
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,880
drain for her.
So I'm just really, I was just

231
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,000
really, really happy that she
got this win.

232
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:43,160
So overall, this Raw proved
again how much the WWE depends

233
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,320
on Dominic Mysterio to move
things along.

234
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,680
The moment he steps back even
slightly from a storyline,

235
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:55,000
everything just goes to shit.
Dom does not need to be involved

236
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,440
with Liv versus Stephanie
anymore.

237
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,920
Like he does not need to be
involved in this feud.

238
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,720
Let the feud sink or swim on its
own.

239
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,320
If Stephanie needs somebody to
talk, you know, get somebody

240
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,520
else.
She knows enough English now to

241
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,800
do a good prompt to do a decent
promo.

242
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,440
Throw Raquel in there if you
have to.

243
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,400
And I think Raquel needs to be
in it anyway.

244
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,000
But leave Dom out of it.
He needs his own storylines.

245
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,680
He needs his own feuds.
He needs to start setting things

246
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,040
up.
But then if they're going that

247
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,880
way, so he needs to exit the
feud like he's already.

248
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,000
He did the heavy lifting.
Let the feud of Live as

249
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,880
Stephanie Secret swim on his
own.

250
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,040
Dom now has four momentum with
Finn and now we can actually see

251
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:43,600
where a Dom and Finn if you can
end up at WrestleMania.

252
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:51,720
I am really happy that we are
seeing hints of Dom's AAA self.

253
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,400
And that was, and that was just
very little things.

254
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,960
It was just him introducing
himself first because I was

255
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,720
really, I caught me off guard
because when I he had the

256
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,560
microphone, I thought he was
just going to be introducing

257
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:12,600
Liv, but he introduced himself
and then he was like, and Liv is

258
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,480
the, you know, greatest role of
remember all time.

259
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,160
But like I said earlier, he was
just looking really bored coming

260
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,840
out there and they was looking
sad and nice.

261
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,080
That might have been a rude, but
Dom himself was not looking like

262
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:35,280
this happy boyfriend.
If y'all looked at it like even

263
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:40,960
if he were trying to sell a part
of like, you know, supporting

264
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,800
live, like you can support live
and then look a little bit more

265
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,960
interested in supporting live,
he wasn't even doing that.

266
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,960
He was just not looking.
He wasn't interested.

267
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,160
He wasn't putting enough
interest and effort into it at

268
00:16:53,160 --> 00:17:03,280
all and hopefully now we will
have Donna Thing kick off and

269
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,000
Don will have his own views like
he's already got a match with

270
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:13,560
Pinta next week on Raw.
So when that happens, hopefully

271
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,920
we get to see what's going on
with either Finn and JD and

272
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,880
probably, probably Don will
retain there.

273
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,280
Like I'm I'm going to 8020 that
Dom is going to retain or

274
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,599
something's going to happen with
some genetics against where they

275
00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:31,200
can throw in Pinta again and
maybe a Devon Evans because

276
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:46,270
Javon pinned Dom last week.
And unlike Liv and Stephanie,

277
00:17:46,270 --> 00:17:48,270
Finn and Dom have history and
heat.

278
00:17:48,270 --> 00:17:53,640
Like we can go up back with a
lot of history with Dom and

279
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:59,280
Infinite Judgment Day out of
Jesuit Day and just the whole

280
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,000
bill for this last almost two
years now.

281
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,520
So we have billed here.
So it'll be easier to get some

282
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,320
really nice story moments here
if AAA doesn't bought Triple H,

283
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,640
doesn't botch it rather than
live with Stephanie.

284
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,440
And finally, it also feels that
JD is going to be forced to

285
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,520
choose a side soon, and whenever
Roxanne pops back up, that

286
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:26,440
tension is only going to grow.
So in conclusion, Rob wasn't

287
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,960
loud tonight.
It wasn't chaotic, It was quiet.

288
00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:30,760
And that's what told the whole
story.

289
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,080
The WWE doesn't have a crowd
problem, it has a dependency

290
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,480
problem with the name of
Dominic.

291
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,440
And until Dominic Mysterio is
allowed to fully step into his

292
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,800
own story and not orbit someone
else's, the show is going to

293
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:43,800
keep feeling hollow.
