Dominik Mysterio pulled off a huge upset this week on WWE RAW when he defeated Damian Priest in the main event of the show. His thrilling victory has earned him a future shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. Although Mysterio defeating Gunther to become a world champion seems like a far-fetched scenario, the distant dream could indeed become a reality.
A WWE icon could return to RAW after three years and help him defeat The Ring General to win the coveted title. The name in question is Goldberg. He has unfinished business with Gunther after the latter disparaged him at Bad Blood. Initially, the WWE legend was expected to show up at Crown Jewel 2024 to set up a feud with the Imperium leader.
Recent reports state that he is not slated to appear at the spectacle in Saudi Arabia, where Gunther will compete against Cody Rhodes. Meanwhile, the RAW after Crown Jewel could be the place where Dominik Mysterio gets his match against The Ring General for the World Heavyweight Championship. It might also be the place where Goldberg makes a shocking return.
The Icon's last appearance on the red brand came on October 4, 2021. With Da Man aiming for vengeance, he could return to RAW after 1127 days on November 4 and cost Gunther his World Heavyweight Championship. This would pave the way for Dominik Mysterio to clinch his first-ever WWE World Title.

Additionally, the WWE Hall of Famer costing the Imperium leader his coveted title could mark the beginning of a blockbuster feud between them. This could lead to the highly anticipated match between Gunther and Goldberg at this year's Survivor Series, which has been rumored for quite some time.
In essence, Dominik Mysterio's World Heavyweight Title aspirations could turn into reality due to The Icon's potential actions on Monday Night RAW.
Dominik Mysterio to turn babyface during his impending feud with Gunther?
Now that Dominik Mysterio has earned a future world title shot, he looks set to start a feud with Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship after Crown Jewel. What would be the most intriguing part of this rivalry is the fact that both superstars are top heels on Monday Night RAW.
Will 'Dirty' Dom turn babyface during his upcoming feud with The Ring General? The Judgment Day member will seemingly continue to play his villainous character, and it will be a battle between two of the greatest heel superstars in WWE.
A major reason why Dominik Mysterio is unlikely to turn babyface is that he has received tremendous success in his career as a villain. Therefore, WWE is unlikely to change his character anytime soon. Moreover, it will lead to a quandary within The Judgment Day, which in itself is a nefarious faction.
Dominik vs. Gunther is expected to be an exciting feud, with both superstars at the peak of their heel personas. It remains to be seen how things shape up on RAW after Crown Jewel.
