17 Things You Probably Missed From WWE SmackDown (Aug 6)

What was up with this?

Rey Mysterio patted his son Dominik on the shoulder when discussing last week's match, then said, "I won last week with your help - not that I needed it". That came across as ever-so-slightly heelish, which probably wasn't intentional.

Surely WWE don't think a Rey heel turn could work in 2021? It probs wouldn't have worked ever! Later, Dom said, "Dad, I don't need your help either". Uh oh, there's definite tension here, and that's not a positive sign for Dominik. He doesn't need to turn heel quite yet.
