Dominik Mysterio becomes victim of horrifying threat ahead of WWE SmackDown

Dominik Mysterio was the victim of a scary threat ahead of tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown. This week's edition of the blue brand is the final show ahead of Money in the Bank tomorrow at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.

According to Ringside News, Dominik Mysterio was the target of some scary threats on social media ahead of tonight's show. The X/Twitter account 'IsDomD34Dyet' reportedly sent threatening messages to The Judgment Day member.

The account claimed that they were going to pretend to be security to sneak backstage and also suggested that they had a bomb ready if that plan didn't work. The concerned social media account has since been suspended. WWE also recently had to deal with a stalker sending threatening messages to Roxanne Perez, and will likely do what is necessary with this incident involving Mysterio as well.

Dirty Dom won the Intercontinental Championship by winning a Fatal Four-Way Match at WrestleMania 41. The Judgment Day member has had some tension with stablemate Finn Balor in recent weeks on WWE RAW.

Bill Apter reacts to Dominik Mysterio's claim about WWE being better now than during Attitude Era

Legendary wrestling reporter Bill Apter recently shared his thoughts on Dominik Mysterio's claim that WWE's product today is better than it was during the Attitude Era.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's The Wrestling Time Machine, Apter stated that the Attitude Era was special and had an edge to it. He also pointed out some of the major stars that emerged during the era.

"The Attitude Era was a special era that had an edge to it that no era... That era and the era of the nWo. [...] Sometimes they try and bring stuff like that back and it just doesn't stick today. But no, that Attitude Era, it made Stone Cold. It made the Rock. It made so many people back then, with that whole—it made McMahon, the biggest heel in the business ever." [1:44 onwards]

Dominik Mysterio had never won a singles title on the main roster before becoming Intercontinental Champion at WrestleMania 41. Only time will tell how long the 28-year-old can remain champion moving forward.
