Building Toward A Clash With Dominik Mysterio For The Intercontinental Title
One of the most likely scenarios is a father-versus-son showdown at Survivor Series. Dominik Mysterio has repeatedly declared himself the greatest luchador, and Rey’s return could be the setup for an Intercontinental Championship match. With Survivor Series taking place in San Diego, the stage is perfect for Rey to silence his son’s boasts and chase the one title missing from his decorated career.

Adding Drama To The Judgment Day Storyline
Rey’s comeback also stirred tension within The Judgment Day. After his return, Dominik expressed frustration that Finn Balor and JD McDonagh failed to back him up against his father. Balor, in turn, voiced his anger at being excluded from Dominik’s celebration party. This friction hints at cracks forming within the faction. Rey’s presence could accelerate Dominik’s eventual split from the group, with his father’s return serving as the catalyst for that storyline shift.
