5 directions for Dominik and Rey Mysterio at WWE Royal Rumble 2022

#2 Rey Mysterio turns on his son in the Men's Royal Rumble match

Could the Royal Rumble lead to Rey Mysterio turning heel for the first time in his WWE career? It will be one of the most shocking moments in Rumble history if it happens.

Rey has stated that he would love to face his son Dominik at WrestleMania. On the flip side, the latter has said that he'd love to face his father, and his father passes his mask onto him if he wins. If the famous mask is transferred, surely Dominik will need to remain the face to continue the legacy.

It will make for a compelling and emotionally-charged feud if Rey turns heel on his son. Maybe it'll be a case of Dominik eliminating his father and the latter brushing it off. Then, he returns to the ring and eliminates his son, giving him a beating around the ringside area.

#1 Dominik Mysterio turns on his father after he is eliminated from the Royal Rumble match

We saw Rey sending his son over-the-top-rope on WWE RAW recently, but what if it happened in the Rumble match itself? Dominik may not be as pleased.

It is the turn that everyone has been expecting for months now, and it could finally happen in St. Louis. Rey could eliminate his son, only for Dominik to return later and eliminate his father and then grab a chair to make him pay.

It could set up a father vs. son match at WrestleMania, which could indeed be Rey's last match. It would be the perfect way for him to go out by putting over his son on the biggest stage of them all and ultimately pass the torch.
