Dominik Mysterio to undergo name change, dethrone top WWE champion with Liv Morgan’s help? Chances explored
Dominik Mysterio is currently a member of The Judgment Day on Monday Night RAW. However, tensions seem to be brewing between him and Finn Balor, who appears displeased with Dirty Dom's recent actions. Amid this friction, speculation has emerged that Dominik might undergo a name change.
The name change could incorporate Guerrero as his surname as part of a storyline. This could lead to him dethroning Bron Breakker as Intercontinental Champion, paying homage to Latino Heat in the process. Recently, Dominik participated in a Fatal Four-Way No. 1 Contender’s match for the World Heavyweight Championship but failed to secure the title shot. Instead, he was pinned by Damian Priest.
This loss suggests that Dominik Mysterio won’t be in the World Title picture anytime soon, potentially paving the way for a mid-card title reign on RAW. In a recent interview, Dominik added an intriguing twist to his storyline by revealing that he has repeatedly questioned his mother about the identity of his real father.
"I question my mother all the time. Yeah, like, I said, I don't know, my dad was gone all the time, that deadbeat, but the 90s was a wild time, you know? I don't know what happened. I just know I popped out and something happened," Dominik said.
While this is all part of kayfabe, WWE could incorporate this angle into the storyline. In this scenario, Dominik Mysterio might claim that Eddie Guerrero is his real father, arguing that Rey Mysterio could never achieve the level of greatness Dominik is currently displaying. The Judgment Day member could assert that his inherited greatness comes directly from Latino Heat.
Building on this, Dirty Dom could announce his intention to officially change his surname on television, rebranding himself as Dominik Guerrero. He could then set his sights on the Intercontinental Championship, challenging Bron Breakker. With the assistance of Liv Morgan, Dom might capture the title, paying homage to the late great Eddie Guerrero.
WWE might prefer to be extra cautious about Dominik Mysterio's potential name-change storyline
This angle carries significant personal value, so WWE would likely seek permission from Eddie Guerrero’s family and close associates before using his surname in a television storyline.
However, if executed, it could elevate Dominik Mysterio to a whole new level, making his character even more compelling and intriguing for fans.
Furthermore, this angle could reignite the rivalry between Dominik and Rey Mysterio, as the latter was also a close friend of Eddie Guerrero. So, due to this, the legendary star might take a stand against Dominik again.
