WWE SummerSlam 2020: Seth Rollins vs. Dominik Mysterio in a Street Fight
Trending
In one of the better-built feuds heading into WWE SummerSlam 2020, Seth Rollins met the debuting Dominik Mysterio. The night after WWE Money In The Bank 2020 saw the devious act of Seth Rollins pushing the eye of Rey Mysterio into the steel steps, puncturing the luchador and shelving him for weeks. Then at The Horror Show at Extreme Rules, Rollins defeated Mysterio in an Eye For An Eye Match, taking his opponent's eye out of the socket in the process.
The vengeful Dominik Mysterio has been on a mission against Seth Rollins ever since. In the buildup to WWE SummerSlam, we witnessed Seth and his disciple, Murphy, lash Dominik with kendo sticks in a vicious beating. This lashing definitely raised intrigue in Dominik's first official match at WWE SummerSlam 2020.
In his debut match at WWE SummerSlam, Dominik Mysterio showed a lot of skill, displaying his Lucha Libre training that he picked up from his father. At the same time, the match also showed that Dominik was still a rookie as Seth continuously was able to use his experience advantage to cut off his opponent. Prior to this Street Fight, Dominik asked his father to not get involved, saying it was his battle this time at WWE SummerSlam. This made for an entertaining story when Seth had Murphy helping him get weapons to brutalize Mysterio.
Rollins used kendo sticks and steel chairs to beat down his opponent. Finally, Dominik's mother, Angie, could not stand by and watch his beating continue without anyone getting involved. She came to the top of the WWE SummerSlam stage, where Rey stopped her pleading and she returned to the back.
As this happened, Seth had Murphy attempt to puncture Dominik's eye like he had done to his father, as well as Aleister Black, weeks back. This finally led to Rey helping his son and attacking Murphy. Seth and his disciple both jumped Rey and handcuffed him on to the ropes. The finish saw Dominik gain the advantage using his speed to set up Rollins for a 619 and then attempt his second frog splash of the night. However, Seth got his knees up and forced Rey to watch his son receive the Curb Stomp for the win.
A memorable story was told throughout this Street Fight. The lead-up to this WWE SummerSlam encounter was beautifully highlighted in this match. Dominik had one of the better debut matches in WWE history. Seth deserves credit for being a ring general who led Mysterio to one of the best matches on the card.
