Dominik Mysterio new gimmick after Money in the Bank has drawn attention following his recent Intercontinental Championship defense at WWE Money in the Bank, where he overcame Octagon Jr. The aftermath has sparked questions about his future in WWE as signs of The Judgment Day faction’s unraveling grow more apparent.
Dominik Mysterio Introduces “King of the Luchadors” Persona
Mysterio successfully defended his Intercontinental Title in a match hastily booked after a heated confrontation with Octagon Jr. at WWE X AAA: Worlds Collide. In a move that signals change, WWE has reportedly filed a new trademark connected to Mysterio. He further hinted at this transformation by sharing a photo on Instagram, where he now refers to himself as “The King of the Luchadors.” This hints that his new focus could revolve around challenging fellow luchadors, particularly those making the jump from AAA to WWE shows.
The incident at Worlds Collide, fueled by his ongoing issues with Octagon Jr., may soon spill onto RAW. Mysterio’s willingness to embrace a fresh character, combined with his championship reign, positions him to embark on new rivalries as he potentially distances himself from The Judgment Day.
Shifts Within The Judgment Day and Immediate Fallout
The Judgment Day appears fractured following the recent departure of Carlito. Neither Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, nor Raquel Rodriguez accompanied Mysterio at Worlds Collide, despite prior expectations for teamwork among members. Liv Morgan stood as the lone Judgment Day member at Mysterio’s side, which could foreshadow the end of this alliance on WWE programming.
With tension mounting, the direction of Judgment Day is unclear, and Mysterio’s new persona as “The King of the Luchadors” could finalize his separation from the group as each member explores paths that fit their individual ambitions.
Potential Storylines on WWE RAW and Upcoming Tournaments
As WWE RAW resumes, Liv Morgan remains an ally to Mysterio. Speculation persists that “Dirty” Dom will compete in the newly launching King of the Ring Tournament, which is slated to culminate at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia on June 28th. If so, this would be another step in defining his solo career and his new identity among WWE’s top stars.
Meanwhile, Liv Morgan is anticipated to enter the Queen of the Ring Tournament. Her absence from recent Women’s Tag Team Championship defenses with Raquel Rodriguez has not gone unnoticed, and there is talk that WWE official Adam Pearce could require Morgan and Rodriguez to defend their titles soon, possibly creating friction or new opportunities within their division.
The coming weeks on RAW could confirm whether Mysterio’s split from Judgment Day is complete and how his “King of the Luchadors” gimmick will influence his storylines, rivalries, and position in WWE’s ongoing tournaments and events.
