Dominik Mysterio to abandon Judgment Day, career-changing glory? - 4 directions for The Dirty Dom on SmackDown

Dominik Mysterio is currently part of The Judgment Day on Monday Night RAW. However, during the latest episode of WWE SmackDown, Dirty Dom was spotted having a backstage conversation with Nick Aldis.

This fueled speculation about Dominik potentially moving to the blue brand. The chances seem high after WWE’s recent announcement of a 'Transfer Window,' allowing superstars to switch brands.

In this article, we will explore four possible directions for Dominik Mysterio if he makes the jump to Friday Night SmackDown.

#4. Dominik Mysterio might abandon The Judgment Day for a singles run

It has been quite some time since Dominik Mysterio made notable progress as a singles star in WWE. The last accolade he secured for himself was the NXT North American Championship, which feels like a distant memory now.

Since then, his primary role has been protecting the championship reigns of his Judgment Day stablemates. Given this prolonged supporting role, Dominik might eventually grow frustrated and decide to leave The Judgment Day to pursue a solo career on SmackDown.

This could explain why he was spotted having a private conversation with Nick Aldis, while the rest of The Judgment Day was notably absent.

#3. Dirty Dominik might finally get a world title shot

Dominik Mysterio recently found himself in a showdown with Gunther, though it didn’t lead to a world title opportunity, as The Ring General quickly crushed him.

However, if Dominik moves to SmackDown, he might finally get a shot at the Undisputed WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes. The American Nightmare is currently embroiled in a heated feud with Kevin Owens.

Meanwhile, if Cody retains the title and Dominik transitions to the blue brand, a potential match between the two could be a realistic storyline direction to explore.

#2. Target WWE Tag Team Titles along with Carlito

If The Judgment Day moves to SmackDown, Dominik Mysterio might pursue the WWE Tag Team Titles, with Carlito as his partner. Currently, the World Tag Team Titles are held by Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh, implying they could remain on RAW due to being champions.

This scenario could open the door for Dominik and Carlito to challenge DIY for the WWE Tag Team Titles on SmackDown. This direction would also allow WWE to utilize Judgment Day as a villainous faction across both the red and blue brands.

#1. Dirty Dom might dethrone Shinsuke Nakamura for the United States Championship

Shinsuke Nakamura has been booked strongly since his return and has won the United States Championship within weeks, but if Dominik Mysterio moves to SmackDown, fans could see him dethrone The King of Strong Style.

Winning the US Title would be a career-changing achievement for Dominik, opening the door to more singles title reigns on the main roster. Additionally, if he performs well as a mid-card champion, the WWE Universe could soon see him in contention for the world title.
