10 Storyline Moments WWE Can’t Afford To Book

4. Dominik Turns On His Family Legacy

WWE love a cheeky swerve.

Pro wrestling across the board has been borderline obsessed with that plot device since the 'Monday Night War' of the '90s. Vince Russo's 'Yeah, but they'll never see this coming' strategy is alive and well, and it could actually become a key component of a story WWE recently shifted from Raw to SmackDown too.

The Mysterio family vs. Seth Rollins saga is still ongoing on Friday evenings, and it may take another cruel twist soon. Would anyone really be shocked and stunned if Aalyah convinced Dominik to spit on his family legacy and side with the one-time 'Monday Night Messiah'? Stranger things have happened.

No, it wouldn't exactly make sense, but that hasn't stopped WWE before. Such a move would be a swerve for swerve's sake, and counter-productive to Dominik's development. It's far too soon to turn him into a spoiled brat heel who sides with dudes who permanently injured his father.
