As Cole mentioned on commentary, Rey Mysterio dedicated the match this week to his son Dominick. There's some kind of storyline brewing at the moment and I'm almost certain that this will lead to Dominick Mysterio entering the ring sooner rather than later.
Next week, I'm sure that there will be some kind of moment with The Fiend or maybe Braun Strowman, where Rey Mysterio, the ultimate babyface is getting pummeled in the ring, allowing his son to potentially interfere. This could have always happened in the undercard, but for the segment to get the eyeballs it deserves, it needed to happen at the top of the card.

I'm almost 100% certain that Rey Mysterio will not become the Universal Champion. But at the same time, none can deny that next week's match should be good.
