10 WWE Wrestlers Who Could Be The New Fiend

7. Dominik Mysterio

Cody Rhodes Fiend

On the post-WrestleMania Raw, Dominik Mysterio was defeated by The Miz in thirty pathetic seconds. Seven days later, he was leaving the show on a stretcher having taken a battering by Veer. Back-to-back humiliations, and all off the back of an ego-bruiser of beating from Logan Paul at WrestleMania.

This could drive anybody to Fiendish tendencies, let alone a son that will never ever step out of his father's shadow otherwise. Few imagined the 'Biggest Little Man' could cast such a long one, but Rey Mysterio's legacy is such that WWE still can't book a single lucha star to replace him. What chance has his kid got of playing suitable surrogate?!

Having profoundly proven himself the wrong fit to replace his Dad, it's time for Dominik to don a mask of a different kind. When the inevitable electric-chair-on-the-ramp finally occurs, the turn should be motivated by a hitherto unseen spirit-crusher lurking within his second generation soul. The Fiend was obsessed with being let in. Mysterio is a young man just waiting to let his out.
