5 signs WWE is setting Dominik up as RAW's next big babyface

WWE has broadcasted a lot of Dominik Mysterio and the rest of his family over the last couple of months and while some might see this as just a passing storyline, it could stand for something bigger. In fact, maybe the argument could be made that WWE has big plans to make Dominik one of the future faces of the company.

Not only has that become increasingly evident by the amount of time they continue to spend on him and his family, but also by the wins he has picked up in that time as well. If nothing else, the sky is the limit for this kid and it isn't that far of a stretch to see him as the next big babyface of Monday Night RAW.

With that being said and WWE continuing to tell a great story with Dominik Mysterio, here are five signs the company want to make him the next big babyface. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below and be sure to tell us what you think Mysterio's future will hold.

#5 WWE are lacking strong babyfaces on RAW

WWE needs better babyfaces on RAW and that's exactly why Dominic Mysterio is for.

It's no secret that Monday Night RAW has a lack of babyfaces right now, which is why WWE seems to be putting a lot of stock behind Dominick Mysterio. In fact, between the storyline of him defending the honor of his family and earning a key win over Buddy Murphy, it looks like Mysterio has a bright future.

In all honesty, Drew McIntyre, Apollo Crews and Kevin Owens are all serviceable babyfaces, but they don't have the same connection with the fans that Dominick does right now. While Dominick is still young and has a lot to learn before he can reach the upper tiers of WWE, he is someone that fans are firmly behind, which might shoot him up the list.

In the end, WWE needs babyfaces that fans believe in and that is Dominick Mysterio! No one else comes close to the kind of support this young man is getting right now and it could be WWE's way of saying that he is the future of the RAW brand.

#4 WWE hand Dominik wins over Buddy Murphy and Seth Rollins

WWE had Dominic pick up a key win on Buddy Murphy for a reason.

WWE doesn't just hand out key wins to anyone and that's why Dominik Mysterio's victories over the last couple of weeks are very impressive. Not only did Mysterio manage to knock off Seth Rollins and Buddy Murphy in tag team competition, he also followed that up with a win over Murphy in a Street Fight.

Of course WWE had Rollins destroy Dominik last week to earn a future title shot, but the Luchador's son was protected in defeat and earned his win back a week later. If nothing else, that's a pretty promising record for someone that is so green inside the squared circle.

With that being said, however, Mysterio is picking up key wins for a reason and that reason seems to be his connection with the fans right now. Maybe it leads to something and maybe it doesn't, but it feels like WWE is building up a great record for him to do something with later.

#3 WWE showcase an underdog story with Dominik

WWE is telling a true underdog story with Dominic Mysterio

WWE is no stranger to telling the story of a worthy young underdog and that seems to fit Dominik Mysterio perfectly right now. Yeah, he might have taken a few losses and been on the receiving end of a beat down or two, but he has managed to win matches when they count.

Some might point to Mysterio losing to Seth Rollins for the opportunity at the WWE Title as an example of the company not having much faith in him, but all it really did was make him that much more sympathetic as a babyface. It also made his win over Buddy Murphy the very next week all the more climactic.

In the end, he is winning when it counts and when it makes sense for him to do so. Although he probably won't reach any kind of title contention in the next couple of months, his underdog story is becoming the stuff of legends and turning him into a big name.

#2 WWE bring in Dominik's family to make it personal

WWE bringing the entire Mysterio family into this proves how big they want this to be.

Dominik Mysterio might be undergoing a true underdog's journey right now in WWE, but it is the family element that is really helping to bring everything together. It is also what is slowly bringing him to the top of the mountain in WWE as he continues to fight for the honor of the Mysterio name.

For example, WWE seems to have spent so much time building up Dominik vs. Seth Rollins that it's almost impossible not to root for him. Keep in mind, this man is fighting for his family's honor after Rey Mysterio's eye got gouged out and it's a very entertaining to watch unfold.

If nothing else, WWE has fans captivated with this storyline and it is going to make a future Superstar out of Dominik. In fact, between his in ring abilities and how well he is able to tell a story with his facial expressions, he could be one of the company's top talents in a few years.

#1 WWE investing a lot of screen time in Dominik

WWE is giving Dominic Mysterio a lot of television time right now.

WWE has a plethora of ways at hinting that someone is going to be the next big thing and time is definitely one of them. Interestingly enough, WWE seems to be spending a lot of time on the ongoing feud between Dominik Mysterio and Seth Rollins, which begs the question of what the future holds for both.

Will WWE actually go through with letting Dominik pick up a key win on Rollins, or will the company decide to give the underdog story another ending? Either way they have invested a lot of time in the Mysterio family, which has to have some kind of implications for the future of the product.

WWE wants to make Dominik one of their next top Superstars and it's obvious by the amount of screen time he is getting right now. It's also obvious by just how good Mysterio is serving in his current role and what the future could hold for him.
