5 Reasons Why Dominik Mysterio Should Win WWE Royal Rumble 2024
The son of the legendary Rey Mysterio, Dominik Mysterio has quickly made a name for himself in the WWE. After decisively pinning his own father at SummerSlam 2022, Dominik has shown that he will do whatever it takes to climb to the top of the WWE.
The 24-year-old is currently slated to defend his North American Championship against Dragon Lee at NXT Deadline on December 10th. With Wes Lee unable to compete due to injury, Dragon Lee poses a formidable threat to Dominik’s title reign. While Dominik may lose at NXT Deadline, bigger things could be on the horizon as rumors swirl of WWE planning something major for the up-and-coming star.
Winning the 2024 Royal Rumble match would catapult Dominik into the main event scene and set the stage for even greater success down the road. Here are five reasons why Dominik Mysterio should emerge victorious.
First and foremost, a Royal Rumble win would allow Dominik to continue building on the momentum of the Judgment Day storyline. As the faction’s youngest member, Dominik has already proven his ruthlessness fits right in with Finn Balor and Damian Priest. By winning the Rumble, Dominik could pave the way for The Judgment Day to capture more championship gold and cement themselves as an unstoppable force in the WWE. The captivating feud with Edge and Rey Mysterio could escalate to even greater heights.
Additionally, Dominik has demonstrated immense talent both on the mic and in the ring, especially as a heel. He has fully embraced his arrogant, entitled persona and continues to garner tremendous heat from the WWE Universe. A heel champion with as much raw talent as Dominik could do wonders for generating interest in the product. Fans love to hate a good villain, and Dominik plays the part to perfection.
Handing the lucrative Royal Rumble win to Dominik would also inject much-needed unpredictability into WWE programming. With rumors constantly circulating about major plans for Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and Brock Lesnar going into Wrestlemania 40, a Dominik victory would come out of the left field. Shocking plot twists create buzz and leave fans wondering what will happen next.
On a similar note, Dominik winning would showcase WWE’s commitment to elevating wrestling’s next generation. For all his father Rey’s legendary accomplishments, injuries continue limiting his availability. Dominik inheriting his family’s legacy by winning such a history-making match would demonstrate Rey passing the torch onto WWE’s young talent.
Lastly, Dominik has steadily improved between the ropes since his debut over two years ago. His offense continues expanding, he has held his own in marquee matches on multiple pay-per-views, and his in-ring psychology excels. Winning such a career-altering match could give Dominik the confidence boost to reach that next level as a wrestler. The main event scene often forces wrestlers to step out of their comfort zones.
While the 2024 Royal Rumble remains months away, these factors make an excellent case for why Dominik Mysterio should emerge victorious when all is said and done. WWE wants young stars that move merchandise and elicit reactions from the WWE Universe. Dominik checks both boxes and shows no signs of slowing momentum any time soon. By winning the Royal Rumble, Dominik could cement his place as one of WWE’s most prominent young talents for years to come. He possesses all the tools both character-wise and in the ring. Now could be Dominik’s time to realise his vast potential by winning the iconic Royal Rumble match.
