So after wondering where they’ve been at for weeks, Rey Mysterio and Dominik recently
made their return to Smackdown
WWE also reignited Rey’s feud with King Corbin on Smackdown as well
Dominik was originally on commentary, but got involved in the match in the closing moments,
there were some miscommunications, and then Rey Mysterio lost that match because of Dominik
getting involved
A lot of fans speculated about the look on Dominik’s face and was wondering if Dominik
was at least considering the thought of turning on his father
We see Rey Mysterio and Dominik Backstage and Rey teases a surprise, he hints at the
fact that he was going to bring in someone to help them
But let’s get back to the conflict between Rey Mysterio and Dominik, is there something
there?
Well when Dominik first made his debut, everyone assumed that Dominik would turn on his father
right away and align himself with Seth Rollins
Everyone thought WWE would use the generic storyline or Dominik wanting to “break away
from his father’s shadow” and be his own man
Which would’ve been a fine story, but WWE obviously didn’t go down that route with
Dominik
They sort of went that direction with Aalyah for a bit, it felt like she was breaking away
from the family to join Seth Rollins, but that whole idea came to a sudden stop
So is WWE revisiting the idea of splitting Rey and Dominik up?
That’s always going to be a possibility
Everyone expects for Dominik to be the one that turns on Rey Mysterio, but don’t be
surprised if Rey makes the first move after all
Rey Mysterio was recently a guest on WWE’s The Bump and discussed the idea of turning
on Dominik in the Royal Rumble:
“I would have to throw him out right away.
Yes!
I mean, we have to do it.
There is just no other option.
Either he goes or I go, but I’m sure that I get first dibs on that, so he’s going
over the top.”
So that seems to be a little teaser for what to expect between them during the royal rumble
match
Maybe Rey does it or maybe Dominik will have the big moment of throwing his father over
the top rope and that leads us into more mysterio family drama
Rey Mysterio and Dominik always talk about their goal of winning the tag team titles
together, but if that’s not happening anytime soon, I’m sure a one on one match between
the two of them on a big stage would be just as special of a moment for them
There’s a lot of directions you can take their story in.
Maybe Dominik’s gets tired of just sitting on the sidelines and just wants to fully start
his career already and the only way to do that is to get rid of Rey Mysterio
Would you be excited for match between this father and son?
Speaking of the Mysterio Family, there’s still two members that are no where to be
seen
These two being Aalyah and Murphy
Reports claim that Murphy was backstage last week, but wasn’t used on the show
Rumor also had it that Aalyah wasn’t backstage at all
So it’s unknown if they didn’t use Murphy because Aalyah wasn’t there or maybe it
was just another creative issue, but Murphy was at least there
Going back to the Rey Mysterio teaser of him going to talk to someone for help, we still
don’t know who that person might be
It’s possible that the individual he’s going to is Murphy
Murphy has been missing since early December so maybe this is some sort of reintroduction
for Murphy and a way to bring him back to television
But if it’s not Murphy, you have to wonder who Rey and Dominik are going to for help
It’ll also be interesting to see what reason WWE comes up with to explain Aalyah’s absence
from TV
Is Aalyah’s story done for now or will she keep popping up every now and then?
We’ll have to find out what’s going on there
But what are your thoughts on everything going on with the Mysterio Family?
——————————
You might remember that Retribution originally debuted with another mysterious woman on Raw
That individual was Mercedes Martinez
She was present for Retribution’s official reveal and unmasking, but she never returned
to Retribution after that
Mercedes recently spoke with PW insider and opened up about her decision to leave the
group:
“I was given an opportunity, and I took the opportunity not knowing what the outcome
would be.
You got to make the best with anything you can, but I think when that opportunity came,
it just wasn’t for me.”
“When you hit the pinnacle of your career, as I did, hitting 20 years, you want to make
the most of your career, and make it part of a legacy.”
“I just think being part of that group, it’s not hidden fact that it was me, I don’t
hide the fact, I don’t mention it, only because it was just a small part of what the
bigger picture is.”
So like Mercedes said, she’s 20 years into her career, she’ll be turning 41 this year,
and she just felt like it wasn’t for her, it wasn’t something where she could leave
a legacy
It was a great move by her, she’s extremely lucky that she saw the writing on the wall
early on and took herself out of that group because the stable does have no direction
at all
She made a great call by getting out of there.
It was also very bold of her to do it because like she said, you’re just told to say yes
and take every opportunity given to you, but she was so uncomfortable in the stable that
she wanted out and understandably so
Everyone understands what she means, so it was the right call.
She’s now on NXT again, picking up where she left off at before all the retribution
stuff started to take place
So it’s great to see Mercedes Martinez happy with her decision and happy in NXT, you love
to see that, everything ended up working out for her

WWE recently announced their plans for the next 3 years of Wrestlemania
This is the first time in history thatWWE has announced three Wrestlemania locations
in advance like this
The usually do it year to year, but we got three confirmations, so let’s talk about
the this years Wrestlemania
Raymond James Stadium, who was robbed of their Wrestlemania last year, gets a second chance
to host again this year
It will be the first WWE event to have a massive crowd of live fans since March 2020
So what’s the number of fans we’re looking at here?
The number that’s being mentioned right now is 25 thousand
Usually when you think of Wrestlemania, you think of anywhere close to 100 thousand, but
in today’s world, 25 thousand is pretty much the biggest crowd you’ll see at any
event right now
There will be 25 thousand fans in attendance for both nights of Wrestlemania this year
There’s even rumors and reports that WWE may take off and go on tour sometime after
Wrestlemania
Even though it may be true, it does seem a bit unrealistic since a majority of states
still don’t allow fans in arenas
So we’ll see how they adjust that plan if they do go tour soon
They will be able to use the Tampa Bay Ray’s stadium for a few months months, but you have
to remember that the MLB season is just around the corner in spring time
The Tampa Bay Ray’s are going to need their stadium back for their baseball games, so
time is starting to run out for WWE in Tropicana Stadium
So no matter what they decide to do, they’re gonna have to start packing things up from
that Stadium in a few months
Then the decision from there will be to either go on this limited tour it seems like or find
another home for the WWE ThunderDome
That will be the big decision that WWE will have to make real soon, so we’ll see what
ends up happening
What are your thoughts on today’s stories?
Do you want to see a Rey Mysterio vs Dominik feud?
Did you like Mercedes’ reasoning for quitting Retribution?
