Dominik Mysterio didn’t need to win Money in the Bank. He didn’t need to win King of the Ring or make Elimination Chamber either.
But how many times can the answer for Dom be “there’s always next year”?
After Penta eliminated Dominik from MITB contention, I started looking at the larger pattern. Je’Von Evans has moved forward. Penta has moved forward. Even other members of Judgment Day have identifiable stories of their own.
Meanwhile, WWE keeps telling us about Dominik’s future: former Intercontinental Champion, former AAA Mega Champion, King of the Luchadores — and, according to JD McDonagh, a future World Champion.
So this isn’t about Dom needing to win everything. It’s about something much more important:
What is WWE actually building for Dominik Mysterio right now?
In this Wrestling Receipts deep dive, I look at Dom’s loss to Penta, the difference between a win and actual momentum, Je’Von Evans, Rey Mysterio, Judgment Day, Finn Bálor’s trajectory, Dom’s very different presentation in AAA, and why Worlds Collide and the next RAW could tell us a lot about where this is going.
What does Dominik Mysterio need right now — not next year, not eventually, but right now — to actually move his character forward? Let me know in the comments.
