Rey Mysterio has recently been at the center of speculation regarding a potential heel turn, particularly in light of his appearances on last week’s RAW, where he was prominently featured during segments with John Cena. During a promo battle with Dominik Mysterio, Cena notably mentioned Rey’s name, hinting at a deeper storyline involvement. Following that, viewers witnessed Rey backstage congratulating his son’s recent success as the new Intercontinental Champion.
Former WWE on-screen personality Jonathan Coach has suggested that Rey’s mention in Cena’s segments may not be mere coincidence, but rather a strategic move by WWE to set the stage for a showdown between Rey and Cena. On the Behind The Turnbuckle podcast, Coach speculated that Rey could be poised to challenge the Intercontinental Champion in the near future, with a possibility of winning the title with assistance from his son, Dominik, also known as “Dirty Dom.”
Coach reflected on the promotional narrative, highlighting Cena’s comment about respecting Rey’s legacy and how that could provide a subtle setup for the story to unfold. The appearance of Rey backstage, notably the last person to congratulate Dominik, further supports this theory.
Additionally, Netflix recently announced that John Cena will be competing this Monday at Madison Square Garden, raising anticipation for a match that could involve the Intercontinental Championship. Coach suggested the ideal scenario would see Rey face off against Cena for the title, opening the door for Rey to emerge victorious with the crowd’s approval or for Dominik to interfere in favor of his father.

Former WWE writer Vince Russo echoed similar thoughts on the potential implications of Rey winning the title, suggesting that such a victory—especially if it occurred through his son’s interference—could provoke an internal conflict, leading Rey to turn heel. Russo emphasized that this logical storyline progression could add intriguing layers to Rey’s character, potentially setting the stage for an impactful narrative shift.
As the speculation continues, fans are left eager to see how these storylines will develop in the coming weeks.
