Hell in a Cell was the final WWE pay-per-view of the ThunderDome era. The crowd will be back for Money in the Bank, and it would be a perfect opportunity to set up big returns. However, Roman Reigns will need a challenger until then, and Dominik Mysterio is the ideal choice. Between now and Money in the Bank 2021, this storyline can deliver brutal segments on WWE SmackDown.

Reigns will have the upper hand in this feud, and yet, he will go above and beyond to wreck his opponent even when they are not competing. This will add significant credibility to his current run as a heel, especially before vocal fans return to the arena. It will also allow everyone to see how Dominik can work the crowd in high-profile feuds on WWE SmackDown.
