Dominik Mysterio’s unexpected loss to Gunther on Monday Night RAW was a turning point in his tumultuous relationship with his Judgment Day stablemate, Finn Balor. The WWE Champion, albeit surprised by Dominik’s tenacity, expressed gratitude to the young wrestler through a cryptic message on social media. But it wasn’t the sentiment itself that sparked intrigue, rather the fact that it wasn’t Liv Morgan, another member of Judgment Day, who received Dominik’s appreciation.
The tension between Dominik and Balor has been building for weeks, with Dominik constantly reminding Balor of his loss to Damian Priest at Bad Blood. This latest defeat only fueled their animosity, as Balor’s frustration boiled over on live television. He ambushed Gunther, unleashing a flurry of Coup de Graces and demanding a title shot against the reigning World Heavyweight Champion.
General Manager Adam Pearce granted Balor’s request, setting the stage for a thrilling showdown. This development has left fans wondering if Balor will finally attain his coveted championship reign, or if Dominik will once again insert himself into the equation.
When asked about the match on the Behind the Turnbuckle podcast, Tommy Carlucci, a former WWE employee, predicted that Dominik will indeed get involved in Balor’s title match, potentially leading to a major angle that will splinter Judgment Day. According to Carlucci, Liv Morgan’s desire to break away from the group, combined with Finn’s need to transition into a full-fledged heel, will ultimately lead to the group’s downfall.
As the drama unfolded, Gunther’s humble acknowledgment of Dominik’s effort hinted at a begrudging respect between the two competitors. However, this victory would come at a great cost, as Dominik’s unyielding pursuit of recognition within Judgment Day has only led to further conflict and division.
in professional wrestling, allegiances are fleeting, and alliances are often forged and broken on the fly. Dominik’s relentless drive for success may ultimately prove his undoing, as he finds himself caught in the crossfire of a battle that has engulfed his group. As the stakes continue to rise, one can’t help but wonder what the future holds for Dominik, Balor, and the tumultuous world of Judgment Day.
