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 […]

Heading into Backlash, Rhea Ripley knew she was going to be the heel in her match with Zelina Vega. Not only is Mami aligned as a heel regularly, as  The Judgement Day are bad to the bone, but she was facing off against a hometown hero in Vega, who considered the event to be her […]

Dominik Mysterio is one of the most polarizing performers in the WWE. To some, he’s an insanely compelling performer who can turn a crowd nuclear with a snap of his fingers and a compelling manager for Rhea Ripley who is willing to make himself look ridiculous in order to get a massive pop. And to […]

After watching Xavier Woods lose his debut match on RAW to Dominik Mysterio of The Judgement Day, Cathy Kelley attempted to catch up with the New Day member to ask him about the match for a WWE digital exclusive segment. Unfortunately, Woods didn’t want to talk about his poor showing… before talking about it a […]

When Dominik Mysterio took the ring on the go-home edition of RAW before Backlash, he was booed to a degree that would make MJF blush. Standing alongside his best friends The Judgement Day, Damian Priest, Finn Balor, and Rhea Ripley, Mysterio attempted to talk some smack on the lWo ahead of Backlash, but his efforts […]

Though they don’t talk, walk, wrestle, or act in even remotely similar ways, the heel-ish heat MJF and Dominik Mysterio draw from both live audiences and online fans have created a bit of an unofficial rivalry between fans of AEW and WWE, with each side going to bat for their company guy. WWE fans believe […]

When Rey Mysterio gave Santos Escobar one of his masks and even personalized it with an inscription on the side, it signified a pretty important moment of respect from one of the best luchadors in the game today and one of the best who ever did it. This act of kindness effectively turned Escobar and […]

Before Dominik Mysterio made his grand entrance at WrestleMania 39, wheeled out to the ring at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, in a paddy wagon with a quartet of “police officers” serving as his escort, WWE played a promo package featuring prison footage in order to play up the “Prison Dom” moniker. On paper, that […]

After turning in one of the best WrestleMania weekends since the show went to two days in 2020, Vince McMahon sent the WWE Universe into complete disarray by effectively retaking his creative role away from his son-in-law, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, and putting together one of the worst RAW episodes in the shows 30-year history, […]

After taking a thorough whooping from his father at WrestleMania 39, you would think Dominik Mysterio would take some time to rest, relax, and plot his next move against the newest WWE Hall of Famer, Rey Mysterio, right? … well, considering the younger Mysterio played into the finish of his father’s match on the RAW […]

To call WrestleMania 39 anything other than a resounding success for Rhea Ripley would be a lie. Though the rest of her Judgement Day pals came up short, with Dominik Mysterio losing to Rey Mysterio earlier in Day 1 and “The Demon” Finn Balor dropping a stunner in the penultimate match of Day 2, Ripley […]

Well folks, you really have to give it to Dominik and Rey Mysterio; they certainly know how to make an entrance at WrestleMania. Traveling to the ring in a similar fashion, with a masked Dom arriving in a paddy wagon and Rey lowriding in style alongside the ultimate Los Angeleno, Snoop Dogg, the Mysterios both […]

After finally laying hands on his son after literally months of relentless harassment, Rey Mysterio is ready to teach Dominik Mysterio a lesson about respect, about family, and about what it really means to be a WWE Superstar at WrestleMania 39, when the duo will finally throw hands at “The Showcase of the Immortals.” So, […]

After finally turning on his son Dominik Mysterio on SmackDown following his decision to turn his ire on Angie and Aliyah Mysterio, Rey Mysterio took the ring on RAW against Damian Priest with one thing and one thing alone on his mind: teaching Dom a lesson. Unfortunately, Mysterio didn’t get to secure a definitive win, […]

After what felt like a lifetime of will they, won’t they, Rey Mysterio finally put his future into his own hands by knocking his son to the ground with a well-placed fist to the face. Needless to say, the prospect of watching Mysterio fight Mysterio for the first time ever at WrestleMania 39 is about […]

After taking care of business on the penultimate edition of SmackDown in a match against LA Knight, Rey Mysterio found himself in a familiar spot, with his son, Dominik Mysterio, coming out to call him a poor father, accusing him of being a deadbeat, and demanding a match at WrestleMania 39. As per usual, the […]

Though he’s technically still an active wrestler in WWE and may even have a very high-profile match at WrestleMania 39 – more on that later – Rey Mysterio has officially been announced as the first member of the 2023 Hall of Fame Class. That’s right, while some other names have already been rumored for the […]

Santos Escobar is a big Rey Mysterio guy. He grew up watching his matches in Mexico, dreamed of having a career of his caliber, and even gave the Hall of Fame-bound luchador one of his El Hijo del Fantasma masks during a criminally non-broadcasted segment for WWE social media. Sure, eventually, Escobar would like to […]

Whether you like hin or not, the first SmackDown after the 2023 WWE Elimination Chamber might as well have been subtitled “The Dominik Mysterio Edition,” because the third-generation luchador was all over the show, cutting into a touching segment between his father Rey and Santos Escobar, the man he almost views like a father, fighting […]

After powering through a fast-paced first hour of SmackDown, the WWE Universe waited with bated breath to finally see Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair stand in the same ring and talk some smack heading into their WrestleMania 39 match. Flair came out first and delivered the opening blows of what many expected to be an […]

Though things didn’t go the way The Judgement Day wanted at the Elimination Chamber, with Finn Balor, Rhea Ripley, and Damian Priest ending their respective matches with their shoulder on that mat, the faction isn’t in dire straights, as their “Nightmare” still has her ticket punched to WrestleMania after winning the Women’s Royal Rumble. Afforded […]

The Judgement Day formed on April 3rd last year and has had an interesting ten months on the main roster. Edge was the original founding member of the group, and nearly a year later, he’s feuding with the same members he brought to the stable. The Judgement Day is composed of Finn Balor, Damian Priest, […]

If it’s a holiday, WWE fans can more or less expect Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley to have something up their collective sleeve to try to rain on Rey Mysterio’s day. Now granted, their schemes don’t always work, as Mysterio famously landed in prison on Christmas because of a failed trick on his “deadbeat dad,” […]
