5 massive WWE storylines for Rey Mysterio's son Dominick in 2020

What a moment!
What a moment!

It's no secret that Dominick, Rey Mysterio's son, is going to join WWE soon. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter revealed in a report that WWE intends for 2020 to be the year where Dominick makes a splash in WWE. And from the look of things, there won't be NXT for him and there won't be that much time spent at the WWE Performance Center.

He is currently training with Lance Storm, one of the most reliable names out there. To add to it, he was the one who prevented his father Rey Mysterio from retiring on RAW following an unmasking by Andrade. He reminded Mysterio of his promise - that when Dominick debuts in WWE, he will team with him.

That debut seems to be approaching closer and closer and after he took a brutal beating in the hands of Brock Lesnar on the season premiere of RAW, it's clear that Dominick is ready to take the big bumps.

It's all about refining his skills at this point and his WWE debut is now a matter of "when" and not "if". As mentioned, 2020 will be the target year and when he does debut, here are five potential storylines for him.


#5 Teaming with Rey Mysterio

This is the first and obvious pick that we'll get out of the way. As mentioned, the reason why Mysterio didn't retire in the first place was that Dominick reminded him of his promise of them teaming together on his debut.

That seems to be the direction they're eventually headed in and hopefully, we get to see them team up on a big stage such as WrestleMania 36. It would be the perfect stage for a debut and it would be one of those emotional matches that has a really good story.

#4 Facing Rey Mysterio

This would be another obvious but interesting direction to go in. Of course, it's a longshot to think that this would happen so soon, especially with how green Dominick presumably is in the ring.

However, wouldn't it be incredible if Rey Mysterio passed the torch over to his son? Apart from Andrade or Ricochet, there's no better superstar he could do that to and if you were to ask him, he would prefer to give the rub to his son.

Since Andrade vs Rey Mysterio has been done and dusted quite a few times, that is not likely to be the direction for his last stand. However, one thing we must admit is that it is a little odd how WWE is presenting Mysterio as the veteran who is far past his prime. While that is true only to some extent, he isn't exactly close to being done from a physical standpoint.

Mysterio still has quite a few years left in him as a performer and if that is the case, Dominick could be built up to eventually feud with him and perhaps even unmask him.

#3 Facing Andrade

Inevitable revenge?
Inevitable revenge?

This would be a really good storyline because it makes sense and follows a path of consistency. Andrade has humiliated his father Rey Mysterio time and again on-screen and the worst of all was at the very end when he unmasked the legendary superstar, nearly forcing Mysterio into a self-imposed retirement.

Wouldn't it be fantastic if Dominick debuted and went on a merciless streak over the people who wronged his father? Andrade would probably be first on that list since the wounds are still fresh from the humiliation, and it would make a lot of sense for him to go after the man who wronged his father.

Plus, Andrade is a great in-ring worker who can make anyone look good. Whether it's in victory or defeat, he could work with someone green like Dominick and make him shine inside the ring.

Would you like to see Rey Mysterio's son Dominick go up against Andrade? From an in-ring perspective, there probably isn't any better match as well. It'll be interesting to see what happens if he does go after the Mexican sensation.

#2 An interesting turn of events with the Lucha House Party

This is going to sound a little bizarre, but hear us out. The Lucha House Party is a faction that hasn't been taken very seriously. This is even though they have three World-Class luchadors who can go in the ring and compete with the very best.

Granted, it's just another case of underutilization in WWE, but if Dominick enters the picture, things could take a whole new unexpected direction. For one, he could align with them and turn them into a more serious faction.

While they are allies of Rey Mysterio given their shared heritage and culture, wouldn't it be a huge twist if Dominick led them and turned them against Mysterio? The three of them would essentially be his hired guns and it would be a brilliant way to get heat on him and sympathy on Mysterio without exposing Dominick too much.

It would be a very refreshing direction and one that fans would not see coming at all.

#1 Facing Brock Lesnar

We must admit that the opening segment of WWE RAW took all of us by surprise. While it's one thing for Brock Lesnar to beat down a superstar in Rey Mysterio, the fact that he attacked his son Dominick opened up the doors for many different possibilities.

For one, it may even mean that Rey Mysterio could challenge Brock Lesnar if he becomes WWE Champion this Friday on SmackDown. However, the bigger observation is the fact that Dominick took all those bumps so easily and made Lesnar look like a million bucks.

While it does seem like a longshot, especially given Lesnar's uncertain status in WWE and part-time schedule, can you imagine a match between Brock Lesnar and Dominick? When looking back to 2005, all those years ago when he was still a kid, nobody would have imagined that he would reach that level.

Yet, it's pro wrestling, so never say never. After all, we did have Kofi Kingston as WWE Champion this year (and for quite a long time at that!) as well as women already headlining WrestleMania, years before it was even expected to happen. Dominick vs Brock Lesnar would be surreal to watch but an angle that needs to happen!
