Maybe we’re setting up a father/son betrayal down the line, but for right now, the story of the Usos being just a bit better than Rey Mysterio and his inexperienced son Dominik worked fine.

Jimmy and Jey battled the Mysterios to retain their tag titles Saturday night, beating Dominik down for a good portion of the match. But when Rey got the hot tag, he took it to both Usos while his son remained down and out.

Unfortunately, Dominik wasn’t able to help his father out, and Rey fell to the Usos, as the numbers were too much to overcome. This meant that the Bloodline remained intact for another PPV, and the Mysterios will be forced to evaluate their path forward.
