WWE’s latest plans for Dominik Mysterio
There’s no word on what Triple H is planning for Dominik in WWE now that he's separated from his father and turned heel.
At the moment, WWE is telling the story that Rey Mysterio doesn’t want to fight his son, despite his being attacked by him earlier this month.
However, it's been expected for a number of years now that Dom and Rey will have a match at some point soon with Triple H potentially even stretching it out until WrestleMania 39 in April 2023.
Regardless of what WWE is planning for Dominik for both the long and short term, you cannot deny that the 25-year-old is on the run of his career right now.
Many fans called for Dominik to turn heel for several months now, with the former SmackDown Tag Team Champion previously being quite stagnant as a babyface while teaming his father, at least in the eyes of a portion of vocal fans.
