Given an opportunity to make amends with Edge and Rey Mysterio Monday, Dominik Mysterio made his decision clear when he came out with Judgment Day and joined the group in brutalizing the Rated-R Superstar.

Edge opened Raw and went right after Dom in his promo. Rey tried to calm him down and begged him off, but Edge made the best point yet: Dominik is old enough to drive, drink, wrestle, and account for his actions.

However, Rhea Ripley came out and announced that Dom wasn’t Rey’s baby boy anymore, declaring that she saw the potential in him and made him into a man (uh…). Dominik would join Judgment Day in taking Edge out, with Finn hitting a Coup de Grace on his knee.

That pretty much established Dominik and set the table for the next chapter of his career… which evidently will be facing Edge next week on Raw.
