The WWE Universe has been closely following the rise of Dominik Mysterio, the son of Eddie Guerrero, after his shocking heel turn on Raw. While the young wrestler has made a significant impact on the show, a prominent WWE Hall of Famer believes that Dominik will undergo a major change in the near future.
Bully Ray, a wrestling legend and former World Heavyweight Champion, shared his thoughts on the matter in an exclusive interview with the Wrestling Gazette. The outspoken Hall of Famer predicted that Dominik will eventually change his name on WWE TV, citing the company’s trend of wrestlers adopting new monikers.
“I think it’s inevitable that Dominik will change his name,” Bully Ray said. “The way WWE has been doing business, it’s not uncommon for wrestlers to adopt a new persona or change their name to better fit their character. And let’s be honest, Mysterio is a pretty big name to follow in the footsteps of Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio. Dominik needs to find his own identity, and changing his name is a big part of that.”
Bully Ray’s prediction comes as no surprise, given the WWE’s history of wrestlers changing their names to better fit their characters. From Randy Savage to Dolph Ziggler, the company has a long history of wrestlers adopting new monikers to boost their appeal and create a distinct persona.
According to a WWE insider, the company has been exploring various options for Dominik’s character, including a potential name change. The insider revealed that WWE officials believe that a name change will help Dominik to stand out from his family’s legacy and establish his own identity in the ring.
“Dominik’s character is still finding its footing, and a name change could be just what he needs to take his career to the next level,” the insider said. “WWE is always looking for ways to keep their wrestlers fresh and exciting, and a name change could be a great way to do that. Plus, it’s not like it’s the first time a Mysterio has changed their name in WWE – remember when Eddie Guerrero became Eddie Gory at one point?”
While a name change may seem like a bold move, it’s not entirely unprecedented in WWE history. In fact, former WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio has undergone multiple name changes throughout his career, including his current moniker, El Patrón.
However, some fans may be hesitant to see Dominik change his name, given the rich history of the Mysterio name in WWE. Rey Mysterio, a multiple-time World Champion and one of the most beloved wrestlers in the company’s history, has been a staple of the WWE Universe for over two decades. Changing Dominik’s name may be seen as a departure from his family’s legacy, rather than a way to build upon it.
Bully Ray acknowledged the potential backlash from fans, but believes that a name change is necessary for Dominik’s growth as a wrestler.
“I know some fans may be opposed to Dominik changing his name, but I think it’s a necessary step for his career,” Bully Ray said. “Wrestling is all about reinvention and evolution, and Dominik needs to find his own unique voice and style. If changing his name is what it takes to get there, then so be it.”
As Dominik continues to navigate his character and find his footing in the WWE Universe, only time will tell if Bully Ray’s prediction comes to fruition. One thing is certain, however – the WWE Universe will be watching with bated breath as Dominik continues to evolve and grow as a wrestler.
In the meantime, fans can expect to see more of Dominik on WWE TV, as he continues to feud with the likes of Finn Bálor and Damian Priest. With his unique blend of athleticism and charisma, Dominik is well on his way to becoming a top star in the WWE Universe.
Only time will tell if a name change is in Dominik’s future, but one thing is certain – the WWE Universe will be there every step of the way, cheering him on and watching with excitement as he continues to evolve and grow as a wrestler.
