Why WWE Must Avoid THIS Huge Mistake Ahead Of WrestleMania 39

1. Keep The Mysterio Family Drama Away From The Hall Of Fame

Yes, Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley ruining the Mysterio family's Thanksgiving was absolute gold. Yes, Dom and Rhea ruining the Mysterios' Christmas was absolute gold. And yes, Ex-Con Dom and his Mami attempting to ruin Rey and Angie's Valentine's Day was absolute gold.

That said, the Mysterio family drama needs to be kept at an absolute minimum at this year's Hall of Fame.

Having a brooding Dominik shoot daggers his deadbeat dad's way from the crowd? Sure, that's fine. What we don't need, though, is Rey's big moment being tarnished by an angle designed to set the stage for Father vs. Son at WrestleMania 39.

Already, many are speculating that Rey's induction speech will be ruined by his offspring, with some suggesting that the younger Mysterio could even put a beating on Konnan. With K-Dawg expected to induct Rey - not to mention being one of Dominik's godparents - there's certainly enough emotional ties to exploit and generate further heat for Dom if such an attack took place.

Likewise, there are rumblings that something may take place with Dominik and his mother Angie in and around the Hall of Fame in order to push Rey over the edge and convince him to battle his son on the Grandest Stage of Them All.

Dominik Mysterio raining all over his old man's parade at the Hall of Fame would admittedly get plenty of heat on Dom, but it's low-hanging fruit that WWE needs to steer clear of. We're going to get Dominik vs. Rey at 'Mania 39 either way, and there's no need to run the risk of ruining such a special moment in order to get to that endgame.

Never before has WWE added fuel to a rivalry or match in such a way at the Hall of Fame, so why needlessly do so now?

If such antics do indeed play out, fans will forever think of Rey's Hall of Fame induction for whatever shenanigans took place, when instead we should reflect back on that moment being the honouring of a legend and an icon of the business.
