Rey Mysterio celebrated the 20th anniversary of his WWE debut Monday night in grand style, winning a tag match alongside his son Dominik against the Judgement Day, and then reveling backstage with family and friends... only for the Judgement Day to ruin it all.

Finn Balor, Damian Priest and a returning Rhea Ripley broke up the party to lay Rey out by powerbombing him through a table, seemingly trying to get their heat back after cleanly losing a tag match during the Madison Square Garden show.

Afterward, it was announced that the Mysterios will face the Judgement Day one more time in a no-DQ match at SummerSlam. This means that the feud that felt like it peaked a while ago will continue into this weekend, and even then, there's a decent chance it'll stretch into August.

There have been questions as to whether Dominik will join the Judgement Day -- he tried to join last week to save his father from a beating, only to be rejected -- and whether Edge would return to side with former tag partner Rey to stand against Judgement Day after he was beaten out of the group last month.
