This year's WWE SummerSlam event was momentous from start-to-finish. One of the biggest highlights from the pay-per-view revolved around Seth Rollins and Dominik Mysterio's Street Fight, which was met with highly positive reviews from fans and critics alike.

It is rare that a son or daughter of a well-known figure in the pro wrestling industry succeeds in their first WWE match in a big way, but Dominik has proven to be an exception.

Even though he lost to the Monday Night Messiah at the aforementioned event, the match as a whole was perfect in terms of storytelling.

Dominik is only 23 years old at the moment, so he has a long way to go. In the meantime, let's take a look at five feuds Dominik Mysterio must have in WWE after SummerSlam 2020.


#5 King Corbin

It's not the most interesting news when an up-and-coming WWE superstar gets involved in a feud with King Corbin.

There is nothing wrong with Corbin in general, but his character keeps getting involved in feuds with WWE Superstars for long periods, which is why the momentum of any babyface is affected.

On the other hand, Dominik Mysterio isn't an "edgy" babyface who can call out King Corbin's shenanigans in entertaining ways. Somehow, Dominik is a clean-cut babyface who has managed to get over with the fans in an organic way.

So the huge contrast between Corbin and Dominik's characters would make up for a short and interesting feud in WWE. It would also serve as a good starter feud for Dominik as King Corbin is a unique Superstar who can suffer consecutive losses and still manage to stay relevant.

Sure, both Superstars are on separate brands, but WWE's brand split rules are broken every now and then, so it shouldn't be a huge problem to come up with a way to make this feud happen.

#4 AJ Styles

Speaking of stars from WWE SmackDown, it would be a missed opportunity if AJ Styles wasn't mentioned in this feature.

AJ Styles is renowned for making anyone look good inside a WWE ring, and pitting Dominik Mysterio against The Phenomenal One would be a good stepping stone for Rey Mysterio's son and he can learn a lot from the veteran as well.

Sure, Dominik has proved that he has what it takes to be a WWE superstar at SummerSlam, but let's keep in mind that his bout against Seth Rollins was a Street Fight, which is a good way to mask in-ring weaknesses for a rookie.

Dominik Mysterio can do some impressive things inside the ring, but at the end of the day, it's good in-ring storytelling which separates good wrestlers from the best ones.

AJ Styles just happens to be an expert in-ring storyteller and even in terms of character traits, Styles vs. Dominik would be a good heel vs. babyface feud.

The Phenomenal One's heel character is that of a pompous talent who thinks he is the best living WWE performer on the planet, and to put him against a talent who has only wrestled once inside a WWE ring is definitely a promising idea.

#3 Randy Orton

The possibility of a potential Randy Orton vs. Dominik Mysterio feud happening on WWE RAW is quite high.

Not only are both Superstars on the same brand, but Randy Orton just lost a WWE title match against Drew McIntyre at SummerSlam, and we still don't know whether there will be a rematch down the road.

Also, Orton has done some notorious things in recent memory, and Dominik has been on the receiving end of a brutal beatdown, thanks to Seth Rollins.

The Viper has proved himself to be one of the most despicable heels in WWE this year, and Dominik has the completely opposite personality.

It almost seems like both of them are destined to feud sometime down the road, and given the current state of things in WWE, Randy Orton could very well target Dominik Mysterio sooner than later.

Dominik and Orton have also been a part of some great story-based moments in recent memory, so a potential feud that pits them against each other is almost guaranteed to be an interesting program.

#2 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt

Just like Randy Orton, 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt has an extremely opposite personality in WWE when compared to Dominik Mysterio.

The difference here is that Wyatt often takes part in stories that are deeply rooted in symbolism. The Fiend is a supernatural character that is meant to symbolize all things evil in this world. Dominik is certainly a very grounded character from a creative standpoint.

Even though a Bray Wyatt vs. Dominik Mysterio feud isn't something that would work perfectly in WWE right now, both characters are polar opposites to each other, and just for that reason, they may cross paths sometime in the future.

There are numerous possibilities as to how this feud will end. What would happen if The Fiend brings out the worst in Dominik by "changing" him? How would a heel Dominik Mysterio work in WWE, given that his father has been a babyface throughout his time in the company?

These are all possibilities that seem intriguing, and even though Bray Wyatt and Dominik Mysterio have embarked on different paths at the moment, they may converge at some point in WWE.

#1 Brock Lesnar

Let's not forget that Dominik Mysterio has appeared several times in WWE over the years.

Dominik's involvement with the company became frequent in 2019, and one of his biggest highlights during that year saw him getting involved in Rey Mysterio's fight against Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series.

Although Lesnar won that bout and Dominik took a bump at the hands of The Beast Incarnate, it would be a "full-circle" moment if Dominik builds himself up to a point where he becomes ready to face Brock Lesnar in a singles match.

Maybe Dominik could accomplish what his father failed to do in 2019. Rey Mysterio's son will solidify himself as one of WWE's top stars if he overcomes the wrath of The Beast Incarnate in the future.

Currently, Lesnar is nowhere to be seen thanks to the pandemic. But with the recently established WWE ThunderDome, Roman Reigns made a return at SummerSlam, and maybe Brock Lesnar will do the same sooner than later.
