The sound that met Dominik Mysterio's pulverising of Edge's b*ll*cks and decapitating of his father at Clash at the Castle suggested that this jaw-dropping trip to the Other Side came out of nowhere.

But Dom-Dom had very much been showing flickers of petulance and frustration for some time before opting to join the Judgment Day in Cardiff.

In the wake of being offered the chance to join Finn Balor, Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley back in July, the seed planted by those purple villains, suggesting that Dom-Dom would forever remain in his daddy's shadow if he chose to remain by his side, ultimately led to the young Mysterio clashing with Edge.

And even after seemingly getting over being accidentally speared by the Hall of Famer, his subtle softening towards Ripley in particular during the CATC go-home Raw acted as another little hint at the swapping of sides on the horizon.

The fact Mysterio teamed with Edge, and not his son, against the heel group in Wales seemed to be the last straw for Dom-Dom as the lad finally snapped post-match and took out both his father and another one-time mentor.

Ever since he made his in-ring debut at SummerSlam 2020, all this bratty future mega heel ever wanted was for his deadbeat dad to get to know him. But Rey-Rey was more concerned with showing his son the ropes than helping him be his own man.
