WWE SmackDown: 2 Superstars who flopped and 3 who impressed – Roman Reigns embarrassed in his own game, new Royal Rumble challenger confirmed (Jan 15th, 2021)

#2 Flopped on WWE SmackDown: Dominik Mysterio

WWE creative need to use Dominik in a better manner

Tonight, on WWE SmackDown, Rey Mysterio was scheduled to lock horns with King Corbin. The latter had laid a brutal attack on both Rey and Dominik Mysterio last week. Thus, Rey Mysterio wanted to seek his revenge tonight with Dominik Mysterio in his corner. Unfortunately, the latter looked far from his promising self during this appearance.

Dominik Mysterio was sitting with the commentary team during this match on WWE SmackDown. He was involved in a brief altercation with Corbin and struggled to help his father, who was losing his battle inside the ring. On the other hand, Corbin dominated Rey Mysterio and continued to take cheap shots at Dominik Mysterio until he ended up winning the match.

As harsh as it may seem, Dominik Mysterio is hardly showing any personality on the Blue brand. Since his last good booking at SummerSlam, his presence seemingly makes no difference on WWE SmackDown. That becomes quite a concern if someone is as talented as Dominik Mysterio. Hopefully, he will be booked into better angles over the coming months.
