5 explanations why Rey Mysterio became the new United States Champion

#1 Dominic heel turn and a match with his father

This would be a perfect farewell for Mysterio!

According to the Gorilla Position podcast, Rey Mysterio is pushing for a match that will see him losing his mask to none other than his son, Dominic.

"Apparently what Rey wants is to pass the mask on. And that’s what he said to WWE that he wants eventually for Dominick to wear the mask. He wants a match with Dominick where he loses and he passes the mask on."

Rey's plan is to pass on his mask to his son Dominic, and for him to wrestle under the legendary mask and continue his father's legacy. This definitely would be a great idea as Mysterio is one of the greatest masked wrestlers in the company's history.

But for this match to happen, Dominic has to turn heel and take the mask from his father. This could all have been started tonight at Money in the Bank. Dominic turning on his father after supporting him this whole time would be a huge shock, and could establish himself as a ruthless heel. His size and shape also make him a believable monster heel, if portrayed correctly.
