5 Things WWE subtly told us on SmackDown: Main event push for underrated star, Former Champion not a babyface anymore? (February 12th, 2021)

#2. Is Rey Mysterio losing out on big spots on SmackDown because of Dominik Mysterio?

Dominik Mysterio and Sami Zayn

It's not often that we see Dominik and Rey Mysterio team together, but we did on SmackDown. They took on the duo of Sami Zayn and King Corbin - with the winning team taking two slots in the Elimination Chamber match.

While the babyface team did well, it was ultimately Sami Zayn who picked up the win for his team by pinning Dominik Mysterio. While we understand that some people might get upset watching that, there's no rush for Dominik Mysterio to be in that spot.

We have to wonder, however, if Dominik Mysterio not being ready means that Rey Mysterio should have to lose out on that spot. Rey Mysterio would have made for a great addition inside the Chamber, rather than a SmackDown star like King Corbin.

Either way, Rey Mysterio may be losing out on some top spots as a result. For Dominik Mysterio, it isn't such a bad thing since he is still just 23 years old.
