Though Rey Mysterio has some pretty legendary feuds and friendships over his three-decade-plus career in the squared circle, the one that stands above the rest belongs to Eddie Guerrero, the do-it-all técnico who passed away in 2005. From his founding of the LWO to his unique move set that still gets replicated by luchadors to […]

After shooting his shot on Rey Mysterio after securing a celebrity boxing win over Dillon Danis, Logan Paul made his triumphant return to WWE in order to demand a shot at the United States Championship at Crown Jewel… or maybe not. No, while that felt like the most obvious outcome for the segment, as Paul […]

Though Rey Mysterio may be most widely regarded for his time in WWE, as he is a certified Hall of Famer who celebrated 20 years in the promotion earlier this year, it’s easy to forget that the 5-foot-4 luchador had a pretty prolific career in the ring before landing in The Fed and even had […]

After two incredibly impactful weeks away from the WWE Universe following the rare physical beatdown at the hands of Nia Jax, Rhea Ripley returned to RAW in a big way on the second day of October, disrupting the first match on the card between the “Irresistible Force” and Shayna Baszler before demanding the rest of […]

When Dominik Mysterio took the ring against Trick Williams in the second match of NXT No Mercy, the deck, as they say, was stacked against him. He had no Mami, he had no Judgment Day by his side, he had a biased referee in Dragon Lee, and, most crucially of all, he had to prepare […]

After weeks of anticipation, NXT will finally take their show on the road to Bakersfield, California, for a six-match – plus one more on the pre-show – running of No Mercy. With four titles on the line plus the Heritage Cup up for contention, Shawn Michaels is banking on strong television numbers, propelling his program […]

When Dominik Mysterio initially made his debut in WWE, it was impossible to divorce him from his father. Pre-“Dirty” Dom dressed like his father, used basically the same move set, and was effectively utilized as the future WWE Hall of Famer’s shadow, as they worked as a tag team up until Judgment Day got their […]

When news broke that Dominik Mysterio was going to defend his NXT North American Championship belt on RAW against Dragon Lee one week before his match against Mustafa Ali at No Mercy – though that match now has to change, considering Ali has officially been released – it turned more than a few heads around […]

Though it looks like Rhea Ripley is about to enter into a feud with none other than a returning Nia Jax, fans have already begun to look past the “The Irresistible Force” in order to find the sort of run-defining foe that folks will remember long after her WWE World Heavyweight Championship run comes to […]

In 2023, few WWE performers have as much heat with wrestling audiences as Dominik Mysterio. The only son of WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio, “Dirty” Dom has transitioned from an unpopular – in a bad way – tag team specialist to an even more unpopular – in a good way – heel as the […]

On the fallout edition of RAW after Payback, performers from around the WWE Universe, even those like Jey Uso who were making their debuts on the red brand as full-time roster members, were looking to pick up some wins, solidify their spots on the card and, most importantly of all, shore up their allegiances in […]

After having Jimmy Uso’s return to WWE moved one week into the future following SmackDown being converted to a tribute show for Bray Wyatt and Terry Funk, Paul Heyman stopped by The Bump to talk about the relationship dynamics of The Usos. When asked about Roman Reigns’ match with Jey Uso and if it served […]

On paper, Logan Paul and Dominik Mysterio have a lot in common; they both have famous family members, they both make their money in the entertainment industry, and, when it comes to WWE specifically, they both get booed borderline out of the building by fans from London to Cleveland and everywhere in between. Discussing his […]

Diamond Dallas Page has seen a lot in his professional wrestling career; he’s seen highs, like winning the WCW World Championship and being in Cody Rhodes’ corner for his early AEW matches; he’s seen lows like Ready to Rumble and his stalker character in WWE, and yet, through it all, he has become one of […]

After hyping up the title match between Austin Theory and Santos Escobar on social media, WWE’s marquee showdown of the night almost didn’t happen, as during the “Emperor of Luche Libre’s” scheduled time with Cathy Kelley, he was jumped and unceremoniously beaten down, with his leg crushed inside a travel case, Rey Mysterio, Zelina Vega, […]

After making his way to NXT in order to stand in the corner of Dragon Lee as he laid down a challenge for his son’s North American Championship, Rey Mysterio decided to do the rounds at the Performance Center and hand out some advice to young stars like Thea Hail, who just lost to Tiffany […]

After securing a technically legal victory at The Great American Bash versus Wes Lee and Mustafa Ali, Dominik Mysterio returned to NXT with the North American Championship over his shoulder and his “Mami” Rhea Ripley by his side. Taking the ring to celebrate their win – keyword their – Ripley complimented her “Latino Heat” for […]

As crazy as it may have sounded a year ago when the faction was feuding with Edge, Rey, and Dominik Mysterio at SummerSlam in Nashville, Tennessee, there isn’t a hotter faction in the entire WWE Universe than The Judgment Day. The Bloodline? Borderline broken up. The LWO? Wrestling for mid-card titles. And as for Damage […]

As crazy as it may sound, Dominik Mysterio is on a pretty prolific run in the WWE Universe right now as the NXT North American Champion. Winning the title on NXT television on July 18th, the second-generation WWE Superstar has successfully defended his title twice, once on SmackDown versus Butch and against on RAW versus […]

For months and months, Rey Mysterio refused to mix it up in the ring with his son Dominik Mysterio, sticking to his moral code that a father should never hit their child… at least until he didn’t. That’s right, after Mysterio got particularly rude with his mother and sister in the lead-up to WrestleMania 39, […]

Dominik Mysterio has had a very busy week in the WWE Universe. After taking a loss to Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn in a match with his fellow The Judgment Day partner in crime, Damian Priest on RAW, Mysterio became the 15th Superstar to hold the North American Champion under this current lineage and was […]

Though Tiffany Stratton has only been the NXT Women’s Champion for 58 days and counting, it feels like the pride of Prior Lake, Minnesota, has been on top of the division for much longer than her abbreviated resume would suggest. Despite having only worked 51 matches as a member of the WWE Universe, 28 of […]

While NXT is first and foremost a place to develop new professional wrestlers – even if Nick Khan and company have also tasked Shawn Michaels with also getting the ratings up ahead of a future media rights deal – the brand has long served a secondary feature of helping to rehab the careers of talents […]

Fans can call “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio a lot of things, a nepo baby, a bad wrestler, Rhea Ripley‘s little you-know-what, but now, when talking about the second-generation WWE Superstar, four words have to be affixed to his name: NXT North American Champion. That’s right, after rapidly establishing himself as one of the top heels in […]

After securing a massive win over Wes Lee with the North American Championship on the line in the main event of the July 28th edition of NXT – but not without a little help from The Judgment Day – Dominik Mysterio can finally call himself a singles champion for the first time in his WWE […]

When Dominik Mysterio met up with Wes Lee in the NXT locker room to inquire about the North American Champion’s open-challenge policy, an offering the former Rascal discontinued earlier this year due to Black Friday stampede levels of interest, fans had to know something was afoot in the minds of WWE’s top creative brass. Sure, […]

After already booking himself an open challenge match with Wes Lee for the NXT North American Championship, Dominik Mysterio decided to double down on his championship pursuits in the hopes of adding not just one but two more titles to The Judgment Day’s war chest. How? By taking to social media to challenge Kevin Owens […]

In terms of professional wrestling history, Cody Rhodes has accomplished almost everything a performer could hope to in their career. He’s held gold all over the world, with 16 different title belts held over 23 different reigns, wrestled at nine different WrestleManias, and even helped to launch WWE’s first true competitor in 20 years in […]

After securing a commanding win at Money in the Bank, Seth Rollins was afforded a chance to run down the PLE card on the fallout edition of RAW, recalling all of the major moments by The Usos, Cody Rhodes, and Señor and Miss Money in the Bank. “Whoa, Baltimore, well you sound so sweet, but […]

Heading into Money in the Bank, fans were incredibly curious to see how Dominik Mysterio was going to pull out the win against one of the true standard bearers of WWE, Cody Rhodes. Was he going to get some help from Rhea Ripley, giving fans the sort of Chyna-approved spots that have become a rare […]

With the go-home edition of RAW before Money in the Bank officially in the books, the groundwork has officially been set for Cody Rhodes‘ match against Dominik Mysterio, marking the first time the “American Nightmare” will be afforded a chance to get his hands on the newest member of The Judgement Day after weeks of […]

After getting into a verbal – though critically, not physical – battle with Cody Rhodes in the opening match on RAW, Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley demanded a tune-up match before the former’s match with the “American Nightmare” at Money in the Bank. His chosen opponent? Akira Tozawa, a man who once teamed with future […]

On the final episode of RAW before Money in the Bank, Dominik Mysterio decided he wanted to do something nice for the fans in Savannah, Georgia, and welcome them to the show. Unfortunately, the crowd wouldn’t let him get a sentence in either way, leading to visible frustration from the second-generation WWE Superstar and his […]

When Rhea Ripley debuted on RAW, challenging Asuka for a shot at her Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 37, fans were very excited to see what the WWE Universe had in store for the performer formerly known as “The Nightmare.” Though Ripley was ultimately successful in her pursuit and had a popular run with the strap […]

After offering Dominik Mysterio a match at Money in the Bank to settle their feud face-to-face instead of with slaps behind his back, Cody Rhodes caught up with Cathy Kelley in the backstage of RAW to discuss the match being made official, even if the least experienced member of The Judgement Day didn’t actually accept […]

When Dominik Mysterio not only interrupted a Miz TV appearance by Cody Rhodes but went on to hit “The American Nightmare” in the face with a slap heard around the WWE Universe, it felt like only a matter of time before Rhea Ripley’s Kayfabe boo got what was coming to him from “The Grandson of […]

When Bron Breakker decided to seemingly go rogue and invite Seth Rollins down to NXT to defend his WWE World Heavyweight Championship, it sent more than a few fans wondering if the second-generation Steiner had lost his marbles. Now first and foremost, the WWE World Heavyweight Championship is supposed to belong to the RAW brand, […]

Dominik Mysterio has been a member of the WWE Universe since all the way back in 2003, when the then elementary school-aged child celebrated his father, Rey Mysterio, winning the Cruiserweight Championship on SmackDown. From there, Dom worked a program with Rey and Eddie Guerrero in 2005, with the duo arguing over who was his […]

Xavier Woods finds himself at a weird spot on the WWE card at the moment; when fully healthy, he’s a member of one of the most popular factions in the entire Fed, with merch sales, Booty O’s, and “New Day Rocks” chants that can turn any arena in the country into a ruckus party. And […]
