Uh oh.

WWE are dropping little hints all over the shop that Dominik Mysterio wants to break out of his father's shadow and stand on his own two feet. That, in pro wrestling circles, means that Dom won't have a polite heart-to-heart with daddio. No, he'll attack him for no reason at all and blame Rey for "holding him back".

This has been lurking on the tag-team's horizon for a while now. Rey has chastised his son for showing inexperience, and there are signs that Dominik is growing arrogant after holding the SmackDown Tag-Team Titles this early in his WWE career. At SummerSlam, things may well boil over.

It'd be a pity if they did. This father/son combo has so much more to give the SmackDown tag ranks before splitting. Also, it's not really believable that Dominik would stab his father in the back just because Rey is unhappy about some mild f*ck-ups. Surely they've been through way more than this?
