Grayson Waller and Austin Theory are scheduled to battle The Street Profits in a qualifying match tonight on SmackDown, for the Six-pack Ladder match. Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley will be defending her title against Becky Lynch at WrestleMania XL after The Man emerged victorious in the Women's Elimination Chamber Match last month.
Bill Apter believes Dominik Mysterio could leave The Judgment Day for faction on WWE SmackDown
Legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter believes Dominik Mysterio could be looking to get out of The Judgment Day.
Dirty Dom appeared on last Friday's episode of SmackDown and attacked Rey Mysterio during his match against Santos Escobar. Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's UnSKripted show last month, Bill Apter suggested that Dominik Mysterio may want to leave The Judgment Day after Rhea Ripley's reaction to him challenging Gunther on WWE RAW. Apter noted that Mysterio could join an established faction on SmackDown and maintain his role as a heel.
"I think Dom Dom is going to be moving further away from Rhea because of the look that Rhea gave him when he said he was gonna challenge Gunther. She looked like, I think like, 'Without talking to me about it? Are you crazy?' But then, the little interaction with Andrade, what if Dom Dom becomes a member of the bad side of the LWO? Leaves Judgment Day and becomes a member of the LWO. It's an excellent transition, I think into another bad guy role for him." [24:12 onwards]
