Dominik Mysterio to win world title in early 2025, former WWE star predicts (Exclusive)
Dominik Mysterio has been one of the most prominent WWE Superstars on RAW over the last two years. According to Alberto Del Rio, the Judgment Day member is a viable candidate to win a world title next year.
Mysterio is a former NXT North American Champion and SmackDown Tag Team Champion. The 27-year-old has challenged Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins for world titles in untelevised matches. However, he has never received a shot at the gold on WWE programming.
Del Rio said in a Q&A with Sportskeeda Wrestling that Mysterio has silenced his doubters thanks to his performances as a bad guy:
"He's killing it. He's doing a fantastic job. It makes me so happy to see this story of success because I know we work for the fans, but sometimes the fans are a little bit unfair, and I remember fans destroying Dominik Mysterio years ago, just bashing him about stuff and comparing him with his dad. But he never wanted to be like his dad. Of course, he learned from the best, he learned from Rey Mysterio and many others, but he was just trying to find his character, his persona in the industry. He did it already and he's killing it." [6:19 – 7:09]
Del Rio added that Mysterio should be a top contender to be in the world title picture ahead of WrestleMania 41 in 2025:
"I'm telling you this, Dominik is gonna be a world champion pretty soon, probably at the beginning of next year." [7:10 – 7:18]

Dominik Mysterio's current WWE status
WWE's next premium live event, Bad Blood, will take place in Atlanta, Georgia, on October 5. The show will have a heavy Judgment Day presence, with Finn Balor facing Damian Priest and Women's World Champion Liv Morgan taking on Rhea Ripley.
On August 31, Dominik Mysterio and Morgan lost a mixed tag team match against Priest and Ripley at Bash in Berlin.
Mysterio also suffered a defeat against Priest on the September 16 episode of RAW. However, the villainous Judgment Day beat down Priest and Ripley post-match to stand tall at the end of the segment.
