Some new reports have just dropped on Rey Mysterio and Dominik, so we’ll see what’s
being said there.
We’ll also see what’s the latest on the rumored MITB change, Drew McIntyre versus
Roman Reigns, and more
Let’s start things off with Dominik and Rey Mysterio
The Mysterio’s have been a big part of WWE television over the last few years
The entire family, even with Angie and Aalyah, was on WWE television in 2020
And after Angie and Aalyah went away, Rey and Dominik continued as a tag team
It was great to see them wrestling together, they even went onto become the first ever
father and son duo to win the WWE tag team titles
But since they dropped those titles to the Usos last summer, everyone has been trying
to figure out what’s next for the Mysterios
In fall 2021, WWE started a story arc on Smackdown that Dominik was getting a bit tired of his
father being too overprotective and always getting in the way
Dominik would often tell his father to fully stay backstage during his matches and we even
saw some flashes of some heel tactics coming from Dominik
That led everyone to believe that the big heel turn from Dominik and split from his
father would be coming soon, but instead the storyline was abruptly dropped right in the
middle of it and we got no payoff for that tension that was rising between Dominik and
Rey
They were drafted to Raw together and somehow all their issues that they had just vanished
without explanation
But the latest reports claim that conversation of bringing this storyline back to WWE television
has resumed
Wrestling Observer reports that there’s serious discussion of not having Dominik and
Rey be together going forward
If WWE wants to split them up, that’s fine, but there has to be a storyline for it
It’s not a thing where you can randomly split them up without a story.
This is a father and son duo, that’s so much deeper than a regular tag team, so if
they’re splitting up, there needs to be an explanation for it
It’s something that we have gone over before, but there’s really only two major ways to
get this done
Rey Mysterio could peacefully decide to step away from the ring, pass his mask down to
Dominik, and Dominik could wear the mask from there on and go fully solo while continuing
his father’s legacy
Rey Mysterio has teased the idea of Dominik getting a mask, but every time Rey had talked
about it, he said that it’s something that Dominik needs to earn
So maybe the time comes where Rey believes he earned it and that’s what goes down
The other way is to go in a direction that was first hinted at back in 2020
Seth Rollins used to tease dominik back then about being his own man and getting out of
his father’s shadow
Seth even offered dominik a spot with his faction at the time, but dominik of course
declined
But it’ll be interesting to see if Seth’s words do come back into Dominik’s head all
these years later
Maybe dominik wants to break free from his father’s shadow and that leads to a vicious
heel turn from dominik on his own father
So hopefully they just don’t split out of nowhere, hopefully there is a story that goes
along with it because there’s a lot of great potential there for any which way they wanna
take it in

Another big topic of discussion this week is a big potential change to the Money In
The Bank contract
WWE recently released an advertisement video promoting the Money In The Bank event
Cody Rhodes was the main star of the promo and he mentioned how it would take place in
Allegiant Stadium
So that’s big news itself.
It won’t be taking place inside a smaller sized arena, the event will be held inside
of a football stadium this year, so even more fans will be present and it’ll feel like
an even bigger deal
But the other line that Cody said had fans heads spinning
Cody Rhodes said that the winner of the Money In The Bank contract would get a title match
at next year’s Wrestlemania
This really confused everyone to the max because if this turns out to be true then this will
be the first time since it’s creation that the rules have been changed for the Money
In The Bank contract
Since it’s creation, the contract has always been about the surprise and shock element
to it
Knowing that the Money In The Bank winner could cash-in on you anytime and anyplace
was an exciting thought for the fans because it keeps everyone on the edge of their seat
when someone had that contract
It’s always been about surprise cash-ins, except for a few instances where John Cena
cashed in his contract a week in advance and where Big-E announced his cash-in before Raw,
but besides those few scenarios, it’s usually shock value cash-ins
What Cody said was also weird because that’s usually the point of the Royal Rumble matches.
The winners of the Royal Rumble matches go onto have title matches at Wrestlemania.
So if the Money in The Bank winners are getting those titles matches at Wrestlemania 39 then
what will the Royal Rumble 2023 winners get?
That’s the part that makes absolutely no sense right now, if in fact this change to
the Money In The Bank contract is true
A lot of fans thought it was a mistake, but that exact commercial has been aired several
times by WWE, leading fans to think this change is for real
Reports claim that nothing is set in stone and could always change back, so it looks
like we won’t know if this change is coming to the contract or not until we get closer
and closer to the event itself
If it becomes a thing where the contract winners get a set date for their title matches, it
will take away a lot of the fun from the entire element of the superstars carrying these briefcases
around and being a threat to any world champion at any time, that would be completely gone,
so that’s a big downside of this apparent change
But we’ll have to keep our eyes on this story for more updates on that rumored change
——————————-
WWE has just released the first official poster for the big “Clash At The Castle” UK premium
live event on September 3rd
The poster features superstars like Seth Rollins, Edge, Bianca Belair, Cody Rhodes, and Becky
Lynch
But the two undisputed biggest stars of the poster are Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre
Roman and Drew have the biggest renders displayed on the poster, leading fans to believe that
WWE is hinting right there at the main event for this show…
Drew McIntyre versus Roman Reigns for the Universal Title
But this idea confused some fans because aren’t we seeing Drew McIntyre versus Roman Reigns
right now in current day?
Well apparently not, reports claim that despite the Backlash buildup, Drew McIntyre is not
the next challenger for Roman Reigns
Of course with the news of Roman Reigns’ new contract seeing him work less dates, it
was also reported that Roman could allegedly miss some big shows like Hell In A Cell
So if Drew McIntyre isnt the next challenger and Roman won’t be working some of these
bigger events, maybe that September 3rd event is the date that WWE has circled on their
calendar for the big Roman Reigns versus Drew McIntyre match
And if that’s the case, if they can hold off on that feud until Clash At The Castle
then that’ll be absolutely great
This would be like a Wrestlemania caliber main event
Usually when Roman walks into a title defense, it’s hard to imagine him ever losing, but
the Clash At The Castle event sets up a perfect scenario for Roman Reigns to drop the titles
at
Drew McIntyre has been looking strong lately, he’ll be the hometown hero with the crowd
largely behind him, 60-70 thousand fans in attendance at the first special UK event in
over 25 years… it just paints the perfect picture for Roman to potentially lose the
titles
This is a live event thats 25 years in the making, that’s how long the UK fans have
been waiting for this show, so why not reward that crowd with the big unexpected moment
of seeing Roman Reigns lose his WWE titles
So that’s something a lot of fans are speculating about right now, but what are your thoughts
on today’s stories?
