5 Ups & 5 Downs For WWE Raw (15 Sept - Results & Review)

4. Heavy Is The Head That Wears The Crown

Dominik Mysterio might consider himself the King of the Luchadores after winning the AAA Mega Championship at Worlds Collide this past weekend, but he found out Monday night that not only did he double his titles, but he increased his problems.

The Judgment Day was celebrating with champagne when Finn Balor threw cold water on the moment by noting that the women had had a rough night. When they demurred, Balor turned to El Grande Americano, as Finn and JD McDonagh asked what the ridiculous German luchador would want in return for constantly helping Dom.

Mysterio blew them off and suggested El Grande might just want to help him because he’s the King of the Luchadores. This set Balor off, who bluntly told Dirty Dom that maybe next time the Judgment Day wouldn’t be there to back him up.

As if on cue, Rusev showed up to introduce himself (with a fun moment of Dominik saying he couldn’t shake his hand because Mysterio’s hands were full with the titles) and declare that he was going to be the next Intercontinental Champion.

Poor Dom is in for a rough ride. It will be interesting to see how all of this plays out for Dominik in the coming weeks – will Judgment Day finally fracture, could Dominik turn babyface, will Americano become the latest member of the group?
