Seth Rollins has no shortage of potential challengers for his World Heavyweight Championship, with WWE hinting at his future direction. The Visionary was involved with The Judgment Day during the show, which prompted the company to tease a world title match between him and all three male members of the heel faction.

The opening segment of RAW saw AJ Styles congratulate Rollins for winning the World Heavyweight Championship before they were interrupted by The Judgment Day. After Rhea Ripley suggested that Dominik Mysterio could win the belt, the two babyfaces then looked at each other and burst into laughter.

WWE's official Twitter handle posted the clip, asking fans whether Dominic deserved a shot at the World Heavyweight Title. While a few of them wanted to see Rey Mysterio's son challenge Seth Rollins, most responses indicated he hasn't done much to earn a world title match.

Check out some of the reactions to WWE's tweet:

Seth Rollins and AJ Styles defeated Finn Balor and Damian Priest in a tag team match in the main event on RAW this week. Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley were sent to the back after heavy interference.

This match also produced The Architect's viral pose with the SmackDown Women's Champion, just like Shawn Michaels and Melina at Survivor Series 2006.


Could WWE actually book Dominik Mysterio vs. Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship?

Dominik Mysterio did not compete on RAW, which might indicate WWE is protecting him for a big match down the line. Seth Rollins has pinned Damian Priest and Finn Balor recently.

Furthermore, he is a heat magnet, which does improve his chances of being in a prominent position on the card. As such, Dom Dom may very well be Rollins' first challenger for the World Heavyweight Title at Money in the Bank. It would be a significant match for several reasons.

The younger Mysterio turned heel at WWE's last United Kingdom premium live event, Clash at the Castle. He could also have his first-ever world title match in the UK, signifying his evolution since that fateful night in Cardiff.

Also, Dominik made his in-ring debut against Seth Rollins nearly three years ago. Full circle all around. It's about time Rhea Ripley dished some support of her own to Dom Dom.
