WWE RAW has managed to surprise fans with several twists this year. Many superstars have undergone a character change this year that has elevated them to a whole new level. It looks like another superstar may be on the verge of a massive transformation, and it seems to be none other than Monday Night RAW's biggest heel.
In a stunning twist, Dominik Mysterio could turn babyface after 27 months next week. The Latino Cheat's last babyface turn spanned from June 15, 2020, to September 2, 2022. The speculation stems from an interaction that took place between him and The New Day this week. Before heading out for his match against Damian Priest, Dirty Dom crossed paths with Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods backstage.
Despite being a heel, the 27-year-old star unexpectedly disregarded Kofi and Xavier for how the duo treated Big E. While WWE could have easily aligned Dominik Mysterio with Woods and Kofi's agenda to garner more heat, the company did not do that. The surprising gesture from The Judgment Day member raised a lot of eyebrows and could be a potential hint at Mysterio's babyface turn.

While the possibility is intriguing, the chances of Dirty Dom turning face next week are relatively low. Although he displayed glimpses of a babyface during his segment with The New Day members, the 27-year-old maintained the cunning heel persona throughout the night on RAW. As a result, he will likely continue portraying a heel character on the red brand.
Regardless of his ongoing persona, the former NXT North American Champion has started to gain praise from the WWE Universe lately.
Dominik Mysterio to switch from WWE RAW to SmackDown?
Dominik Mysterio has proven to be one of WWE's most versatile stars in recent years. He has been an integral part of the Monday Night RAW roster for the past three years. However, his days on the red brand could be numbered, given the recent speculation.
There are rumors that Dirty Dom could move to SmackDown in the coming weeks. Earlier this month, Mysterio was spotted having a conversation with SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis backstage. While WWE did not acknowledge the conversation, it was caught during one of the clips from behind the scenes on SmackDown.
It raises the possibility that Dominik Mysterio may have asked Aldis to move him to the blue brand during WWE's Transfer Window. The chances of it happening are good, and he could be accompanied by The Judgment Day as well. The faction has been on Monday Night RAW since its inception.
If the stable moves to Friday nights, it could add a new layer to its story, giving the group a fresh start. Additionally, Dominik could also embark on a new path after transitioning to the blue brand. It remains to be seen what WWE has in store for him in the coming weeks.
