7 things WWE subtly told us on RAW: Top star turns heel after four-and-a-half years, Possible spoiler on title change at Payback 2020? (August 24th, 2020)

#1. Dominik impresses, but RAW is RETRIBUTION

The future of RAW

Despite the beatdown at SummerSlam, Dominik Mysterio appeared on RAW and made his in-ring debut on the Red brand as well. He was with Rey Mysterio and the two would finally have the long-awaited tag team match together in the main event - going up against Seth Rollins and Murphy.

For a 23-year-old with no developmental experience whatsoever, Dominik is impressing early on. He's got a long way to go, but his in-ring style and ability has left no doubt about the fact that he belongs in the big leagues.

His performance against Murphy and Seth Rollins was nothing short of fantastic and he was about to pick up his first win on RAW until the lights flickered - indicating the arrival of RETRIBUTION.

While Seth Rollins ran to the ramp like a coward, Rey Mysterio went into the ring to protect the ambushed Dominik. They were both assaulted and RETRIBUTION stood tall in one of their finest moments so far.

What was interesting to note, however, is the difference between the SmackDown and RAW locker room's approach to RETRIBUTION. While the SmackDown locker room seems united against a single cause, RAW's locker room couldn't care any less.

We're not sure if that's intentional or not. but it's a good bit of storytelling that we've enjoyed.
