Why A Dominik Mysterio WrestleMania 41 Win Solves Several Creative Problems For WWE


Dominik Mysterio is heading into his fourth WrestleMania this year, with him set to compete in the fatal four-way match for the Intercontinental Championship, taking on a field including reigning champion Bron Breakker, fellow Judgment Day member Finn Balor, and Penta. There will likely be several opinions on who should walk out of WrestleMania 41 as the Intercontinental Champion, but there are multiple arguments as to why Mysterio should be the one to receive a special WrestleMania moment. In fact, a Mysterio win benefits everyone involved in the match, and it will solve multiple creative problems that WWE might have right now in the RAW midcard division.

Dominik Mysterio Can Finally Break Out

  • Mysterio is one of WWE’s most over wrestlers in terms of heel heat.
  • He has not yet won a singles title on the main roster.
  • WWE can make Dominik Mysterio a star with a big win at WrestleMania.

Dominik Mysterio has been on the rise for the last couple of years as a heel, growing into one of the most naturally unlikable bad guys that WWE has on its entire roster, receiving massive amounts of heat. He has firmly been building his own legacy away from that of his Hall of Famer father, Rey Mysterio, but more needs to be done to capitalize on how over he is, and to further his climb up the card. He’s had some big matches and moments here and there, such as his WrestleMania 39 entrance, turning against Rhea Ripley at SummerSlam 2024, and his initial heel turn, but his main roster run has been without any singles gold.

Even though WWE has turned Rhea Ripley, their top women’s babyface, into a whiner, the audience still has the Eradicator’s back.

The young star is not a workhorse wrestler, and the fact that he is the antithesis to what the Intercontinental Championship represents makes him the perfect candidate to be a cowardly heel IC Champion. This can happen at WrestleMania 41 as he takes on Bron Breakker, Finn Balor and Penta in a fatal four way. Mysterio can sneak or steal a victory, throwing someone out of the ring or rolling someone up when they are preoccupied, working directly in line with his current character. This will make him a defined part of the midcard division going forwards, rather than just a sidekick character to the likes of Liv Morgan and Finn Balor. WWE has a star on their hands if he’s handled well, and it feels like this is the time to pull the trigger on developing him as a singles star in the company.

The Judgment Day Will End After WrestleMania 41

The Judgment Day Is Not What It Once Was

  • WWE have been teasing Finn Balor’s exit from the Judgment Day.
  • The RAW faction either needs to end or change completely.
  • Mysterio winning will bring about the end of the act as we know it.

The Judgment Day has been one of the more prominent acts on Monday Night RAW for three years, but the current iteration is weak, tired, and in dire need for a change. A Dominik Mysterio victory at WrestleMania necessitates either the end of the group or a new version, both of which are desperately needed. The tensions between Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio have been high for some time, and for Mysterio to steal the title from Balor’s grasp will ensure that things finally implode and Balor is kicked out of the group, with the other members potentially going their separate ways.

Paul Heyman will be in the corner of CM Punk and not Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 41, but what role with Seth Rollins play?

The act was at its peak when the likes of Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley were involved, but their exits saw a severe drop in star power, and much of their aura has depleted. Not every faction needs to last forever, and it is high time that WWE moved on from this once successful stable. Mysterio could decide to take over the group and bring in new names, or else create his own faction to keep him propped up as the Intercontinental Champion. This will freshen up RAW’s midcard and all those involved in the Judgment Day gimmick, and it will make sure that the group doesn’t become a complete parody of itself.

  • Breakker can receive a push further up the card.
  • Penta can be set up to be the one to defeat Mysterio.
  • Balor can get a refresh in his character.

Dominik Mysterio winning the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania does good for everyone in the match. Bron Breakker has been a dominant champion, but WWE shouldn’t wait on pushing him up the card, creating a superstar whilst they have the chance. The fatal four-way stipulation means that Breakker can lose the title without being pinned, freeing him up to break away from the midcard and enter the upper echelons of the WWE ladder, getting into the mix potentially with the likes of Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Randy Orton, and others.

Randy Orton lost his match with Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 41, but it could be the best thing to ever happen for the Viper’s character.

Additionally, Penta is someone WWE clearly has a high regard for, but crowning him so soon takes away the chance to create an interesting underdog climb to the Intercontinental Title. Losing out to Mysterio at WrestleMania opens the door for a chase, where Penta’s eventual victory will feel so much sweeter, potentially at an event like Money in the Bank or SummerSlam, where a celebratory victory won’t be overshadowed by whatever else goes on at WrestleMania 41 this year. Mysterio walking out as champion is the perfect decision, and it solves so many problems and frees up everyone in the match for something better.
