Could Rey Mysterio be considering passing the torch to WWE star in 2024? Analyzing major swerve

Throughout his time in WWE, Rey Mysterio has established himself as an icon in the world of professional wrestling. Currently, he holds the position of leader within the Latino World Order and is embroiled in a captivating feud with Legado Del Fantasma and his own son, Dominik Mysterio.

Despite their ongoing on-screen feud, the ex-World Heavyweight Champion may be considering passing the torch to Dirty Dom in real life this year. This was evident as the Judgment Day member recently rekindled his feud with Rey Mysterio by teaming up with Santos Escobar and his faction.

This week on SmackDown, Rey issued a challenge to Dominik and Santos Escobar for a tag team match at The Showcase of the Immortals.

As Dominik solidifies himself as a villain, WWE can take advantage of this storyline in the long run by officially announcing the WrestleMania XL showdown. With the opportunity to pass the torch to his son, the renowned luchador may contemplate doing so for the following reasons:

Building a Stronger and More Inclusive Latino Community

As Rey Mysterio approaches the end of his illustrious career as a wrestler, he may be contemplating passing the torch to his son, Dominik Mysterio. Dominik could potentially lead the LWO once his father decides to retire.

The retired world champion can confidently pass on the legacy of lucha libre to his son, who will lead the faction to new heights. This will not only serve as a fitting tribute to Rey Mysterio, but also leave a lasting mark in the annals of history.

The Liberation of Dominik Mysterio from The Judgment Day

Upon entering the conflict known as The Great Latino War, Dom found himself at the center of The Judgment Day’s worries. Rhea Ripley, Damian Priest, and Finn Balor expressed dissatisfaction with Dominik Mysterio’s involvement in the feud between the Latino World Order and Legado Del Fantasma.

Furthermore, Mami is displeased with Dominik’s actions of making moves without informing his stablemates. There has also been noticeable tension between Ripley and Damian Priest in recent weeks. This could lead to the potential downfall of the heel faction in the near future. As a result, Rey Mysterio may want to consider taking the 26-year-old under his wing.

“Dominik Mysterio: From Rookie to WWE Superstar”

Despite giving an incredible performance against his father Rey on The Grandest Stage of Them All last year, Dominik Mysterio ultimately fell short in his match. The budding wrestler held his own against the legendary Rey Mysterio, generating a lot of excitement with his actions, but unfortunately was unable to secure a victory.

Throughout his entire time as a heel, Dominik has consistently delivered exceptional character work. In addition, his in-ring skills have greatly improved, making him a formidable competitor. Therefore, it would be logical for WWE to confirm the tag match, allowing Rey Mysterio to hand over the reins to his son at The Showcase of the Immortals.
