Backstage frustration over The Street Profits and Mysterios Royal Rumble booking - Reports

This year's WWE Royal Rumble was a "stressful and frustrating" experience among many backstage who took part in the match.

A lot of the buildup to the 2022 Royal Rumble was tossed to the side by the time the battle royals occurred. These numerous changes led to a lot of frustration among the talents backstage during the event..

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select is reporting that he heard from several talents who voiced their frustration over storylines on WWE programming leading into the Rumble not paying off.

The frequent interaction between the Mysterios and The Street Profits was used as an example as something that the company chose not to pay off on Saturday and just dismissed altogether. Sapp promises more information on this situation will be revealed later this week.

Dominik Mysterio was eliminated from the Men's Royal Rumble before Rey Mysterio even entered

Beyond the interaction between the two teams, there were several teases on WWE RAW that Dominik would be the one to eventually eliminate his father, Rey Mysterio, in the Men's Rumble match.

Instead, Dominik was tossed out of the match before Rey even arrived. As a result, the WWE Universe was left to wonder whether there was a point to the previous teases.

Last night on RAW wasn't a good night for the Mysterios either, as Dominik lost to The Miz, and Rey lost his Elimination Chamber qualifying match to AJ Styles.

While it has appeared that the company was looking to split Rey and Dominik up a few times over the last several months, it seems like WWE has dropped the idea once again.
