So, mind you, is this spin off story.

Michael Cole almost burst a blood vessel when commentating Dominik Mysterio's beatdown on his father during the "I Quit" match. The SmackDown announcer sold the moment well, and went very over-the-top with his language to put across how despicable a character Dom has become.

Remember this when Rey puts his boy over in a heated grudge-style match over the next few months. Like Ripley vs. Phoenix, WWE could keep this burning along with tags until 'Mania season rolls around, but the people are ready to see Mysterio blast his wayward lad with a 619.

Don't be too shocked if their first encounter gets to headline a bumper edition of Raw before the end of 2022. Triple H's creative team can always pen a screwy, interference-heavy finish to make a rematch viable too; Rey vs. Dominik is unavoidable, and it has been since the first time Dom hauled on some wrestling boots.
