WWE Raw Star Was Nearly Sent To NXT

WWE

A WWE Raw star was nearly sent to work in NXT before entering into a critically noteworthy and popular feud.

Dominik Mysterio’s feud with his father Rey Mysterio has seen the pair face each other at WrestleMania 39 with the animosity showing little sign of subsiding.

The WWE Hall of Famer has recently suggested a mask-versus-hair match as a potential way of bringing the feud to an end.

Plans could have worked out different, however, according to Dave Meltzer in the current Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscription required), who writes:

“While there is no chance of this happening now, before the decision to start the Rey vs. Dominik program, there was serious thought given to sending Dominik to NXT.”

Meltzer wouldn’t reveal what the plans were if Dominik Mysterio had ended up there.

Judgment Day, of which Dominik Mysterio is a prominent component, recently attacked Bad Bunny on WWE Raw.

Bad Bunny is set to host WWE Backlash when it heads to Puerto Rico on May 6, with some expecting an in-ring return for the music star.
