Rey Mysterio’s son Dominick, who is a trained wrestler, seems to have signed a contract with WWE. This is very exciting as it ensures that Rey’s lineage will continue to live on for quite some time considering how young Dominick is. He might be best suited starting out in NXT and getting fans acclimated to his style. We all had to realize, on some level, that he was not being used in the rivalry between his father and Samoa Joe for nothing.
It was reported this week that Daniel Bryan may have suffered from a concussion at WrestleMania, and this is very disconcerting news considering his history with head injuries which is well documented. It is also assumed that WWE will not hesitate to pull the plug on Bryan’s in-ring career if he suffers from a significant amount of these injuries. This is most likely the reason why WWE would not say anything regarding his injury because it was probably in the back of Vince McMahon’s mind that Bryan may have to take a hiatus to recuperate. Fortunately, it can’t be too serious because he is back pretty quickly and will presumably defend the SmackDown Tag Team Championships along with Rowan at Money in the Bank. Daniel Bryan’s health, however, never strays too far from my mind and he is always in my prayers.
Vince McMahon should also consider a Roman Reigns heel turn to boost TV ratings because the Wild Card Rule, while it may help, won’t do it alone. Vince has been extremely bullheaded about this since the start of Reigns’ singles push in June 2014. It might do something for Reigns similar to what it did for Stone Cold Steve Austin in ’96. Let’s face it – it probably would not work that well, but it will give fans a fresh take on his character. It would be a little bit shocking to see this after his recent triumph in his battle with leukemia, and this shock may be a good thing as it would spark a huge amount of interest in the product. It may get a similar reaction to Dean Ambrose’ heel turn on Seth Rollins on the same night as Reigns’ announcement of his illness returning. The work he did towards the beginning of his career as a heel (before the formation of The Shield) was surprisingly good stuff, and WWE should experiment a little more with that and see how far it can take them because the TV ratings cannot get that much worse, can they?
