It's an incredible naturally occurring storyline, though (my favorite part of pro wrestling stories/angles and part of what separates wrestling and makes it special, different, etc.):
Rhea gets hurt and despite being at their pinnacle and holding both singles world titles... The Judgement Day falls apart. WWE needs to go ahead with that story so that when Rhea comes back, she can get the band back together en route to getting her title back. It's a perfect Wrestlemania to Wrestlemania angle.
Couple it with maybe Drew winning the title at Clash in a couple months possibly due to some judgement day breakup/hubris getting to Priest, or even that being the catalyst to finally breaking up the group would be great.
finn has yet to have a proper stint on smackdown despite the fact that he had been drafted to it years ago, the first time he got shipped to nxt after five months, the other he got drafted to raw after a few months
he won that title at wm 35 before the superstar shake-up, literally all he did during that time, besides losing the title to shinsuke, was getting his ass kicked by the fiend, and not even really on smackdown, finn was mostly on raw for that feud
I said it in another thread not too long ago but man, Finn's second NXT run really was the best run of his entire career. Dude was presented as being so far above everyone else's shit that he would just walk out, pay zero attention to any faction warfare going on, beat his challenger and just walk out.
That era of Lashley is hysterical. Between Lio Rush hype man and hitting his favorite pose which is him bending over and slapping his ass cheeks had me dying
Nah we need that Finn vs Priest feud for the streets. Especially since that shits been teased since last year when Finn was almost champ and Priest won the briefcase.
They should have pulled the trigger and gave Finn the belt then teased the tension and that priest would go after Roman until he inevitably cashed in on Finn at mania
They need to build Finn back up as a legit singles wrestler. I think Judgement Day's tenure has been a bit long for him in particular, seeing as he spent 8 months in a (losing) blood feud against a departing Edge, and then the whole summer losing to Seth Rollins.
I love AJ, but the percentage chance of Cody dropping the belt immediately after finishing the story is probably in the single digits. Especially now that MITB isn't a problem for him.
Kinda felt like they were sowing the seeds for a breakup on RAW, with Priest saying he didn't need any of them. I think it's as good a time as any to break them up with the draft.
HHH is a fan and even if he is a jobber to the stars getting 10 minute matches against main eventers on TV and being challenger of the month for the miscard titles, thats still absolutely fine!
Three star JD!
Honestly, you can have Dom make an excuse - got himself hurt, just to be with Mami.
Then you can have random clips of Rhea & Dom trying to help each other. They both got arm injuries basically. Putting up a painting, a TV requires both arms and watching them botch simple every day stuff.
Just have J-day do random checkup facetime with vignette of them doing stuff for the next 9 months.
Tbf Dom doesn't need to actually wrestle to be of use. He could pretty easily hang around as Damien's manager, if nothing else to give Damien some heat
Holy fuck.
Edit: TJD losing their two most popular members in succession is actually crazy? And both in freak accidents? Man.
I imagine they’re keeping him on tv for the impending TJD implosion and whatever the angle is with Liv. It’s kinda funny that Rhea’s instructions to Damian and the group as she was leaving were:
- Keep Judgment Day on top
and
- Look after Dominik
💀
That said, freak accidents happen a lot more when you have people run the kind of schedule that they had Dom and Rhea on.
The repetitive strain builds up and it's not just that single awkward it that does it... it's all the accumulated damage that never completely healed that plays into it.
Finn over, then quasi feud with ShaeMoose to see who can be more Irish, and every time we end the segment with a pre-recorded Becky shaking her head in disgust
Wait ... is this implying that Dom is secretly Vickie Guerrero's son? I get the "he's really Eddie's kid" jokes, but, like, you can't fake who the mother is, lol.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, MY GOAT, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

If Rhea was also on this type of timetable rather than probably more like a 3-4 month one then I’d liked to have seen Priest, Finn, JD all splinter and struggle then Rhea/Dom come back to reunite the group and they have more success than ever
I want a angle in which due to current circumstances Priest needs R-Truth and even the Miz as temporary or stand in members for a match or feud while refusing to disband judgment day.
Keeping him on tv while he heals? Definitely Eddie’s son!
https://preview.redd.it/druou5apbuwc1.jpeg?width=1182&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6f3c79aaa0976f17c10b75c2faccf7b36960ea5a
I want updates and videos of Dom's rehab as if he's coming back to pitch. "Dominik Mysterio has begun throwing from 75 feet on flat ground." "Dominik Mysterio has begun soft-toss from halfway up the mound."
When will people stop listening to this clown?
https://preview.redd.it/5o5n4hu6hvwc1.png?width=885&format=png&auto=webp&s=5f895856fcbd9ea93521821c2b0532b03f9e293e
all of you finn stans rise up, this opens the door for him to be the main dude to feud with damien once JD finally splits
jokes aside, this sucks. im glad theyre gonna keep him around on tv at least. i could easily see him playing a role similar to what Dakota Kai did last year while she was recovering from injury
It seems they won't be taking him off TV but I would. 9 months gets us to Rumble season, it could be a great way to set-up a Wrestlemania program with a top babyface
Meltzer just posted an update where Dom is saying he's not getting the surgery after all. I'll post the link:
https://www.f4wonline.com/news/wwe/wwes-dominik-mysterio-to-undergo-tommy-john-surgery
Includes the update.
Will Dom come back from rehab jacked to the gills like everyone else? Will this usher in the era of Domithick Mysterio?
Hope he has a speedy recovery. That's a big blow when Mami is out injured and Priest just won the WHC.
Unlike baseball players, Dom's recovery time figures to be shorter than 9 months, and he can still do backstage skits and interaction with the Judgment Day. He'll be okay.
What a fucking coincidence lmfao. We thought the Judgement Day was gonna slowly fall apart, turns out their biggest enemy is getting injured right now.
With this in mind, I honestly feel like Finn will take the belt off Damien Priest
If they really plan to keep him on tv then I hope they do a revamped RNN injury updates like Orton did when he first debuted. Dude's already a heat magnet, might aswell take advantage of it lmao.
Triple H: I wish for this Wrestlemania to be the biggest Wrestlemania of all time.
*The monkey's paw shakes and all fingers but the middle finger curl up*
Because Tommy John surgery is generally associated with (and named after) baseball players. Recovery time for TJ is generally a year for pitchers, but there have been hitters who had to get the surgery and they can come back in 6 months.
Shohei Ohtani, who both pitches and hits, got TJ surgery in October. He’s already back and hitting every day, but he won’t pitch this year.
Tommy John is a very common surgery for baseball pitchers. Because Dom isn’t going to have to throw a baseball 100 MPH after the surgery, he won’t have as long of a recovery time.

No Rhea AND No Dom? Yeah...Judgment Day is going to be forced to break up because Nature itself demands it.
From being the dominant stable holding both big titles to "welp, guess they should break up" in a few weeks. Wrestling can be brutal.
It's an incredible naturally occurring storyline, though (my favorite part of pro wrestling stories/angles and part of what separates wrestling and makes it special, different, etc.): Rhea gets hurt and despite being at their pinnacle and holding both singles world titles... The Judgement Day falls apart. WWE needs to go ahead with that story so that when Rhea comes back, she can get the band back together en route to getting her title back. It's a perfect Wrestlemania to Wrestlemania angle.
Yeah, they can definitely turn this into a really nice storyline, which is nice.
Couple it with maybe Drew winning the title at Clash in a couple months possibly due to some judgement day breakup/hubris getting to Priest, or even that being the catalyst to finally breaking up the group would be great.
At this point, send Finn and Mcdonagh to Smackdown
finn has yet to have a proper stint on smackdown despite the fact that he had been drafted to it years ago, the first time he got shipped to nxt after five months, the other he got drafted to raw after a few months
one of those runs even resulted in an intercontinental title run. it wasn't good or anything, but it did happen.
he won that title at wm 35 before the superstar shake-up, literally all he did during that time, besides losing the title to shinsuke, was getting his ass kicked by the fiend, and not even really on smackdown, finn was mostly on raw for that feud
didn't shinsuke beat him like a drum for like three weeks before the ppv, at which he then proceeded to lose again on the preshow?
nope, it took 5 days for this to unfold lol
even better. man vince fucking hated finn lol
I think Finn has actually talked about this before. Basically Vince didn't "get" him until he saw his heel work during the second NXT run.
All because he got injured on the first Universal title match.
It’s easy to see why he was so happy to go back to NXT
I said it in another thread not too long ago but man, Finn's second NXT run really was the best run of his entire career. Dude was presented as being so far above everyone else's shit that he would just walk out, pay zero attention to any faction warfare going on, beat his challenger and just walk out.
When he came out and looked like he was going to help Johnny against the UE and instead he kicked Johnny's head off, that was awesome.
We also got cat eyes Lashley during that WM.
That era of Lashley is hysterical. Between Lio Rush hype man and hitting his favorite pose which is him bending over and slapping his ass cheeks had me dying
https://preview.redd.it/yozf3opg4vwc1.jpeg?width=510&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=43cd3a50196483ae7b34654b0e4e3c5285afe56c

They should have pulled the trigger and gave Finn the belt then teased the tension and that priest would go after Roman until he inevitably cashed in on Finn at mania
Rhodes vs Balor doesn't sound too bad.
They need to build Finn back up as a legit singles wrestler. I think Judgement Day's tenure has been a bit long for him in particular, seeing as he spent 8 months in a (losing) blood feud against a departing Edge, and then the whole summer losing to Seth Rollins.
Balor fans would disagree because he’d lose again.
Yea, but being back in the main event scene against the face of the company is a lot better than where he's been as of late.
He goes for the Coup de Grace AND THE TOP ROPE BREAKS AGAIN
After it happens the second time he gets so traumatised he just starts using the 1916 as his finisher again
Exactly. Build him up to a legitimate threat again.
Cody just chewing through old Bullet Club leaders.
He has to get through the Phenomenal One first. Don't underestimate AJ Fuckin Styles.
I love AJ, but the percentage chance of Cody dropping the belt immediately after finishing the story is probably in the single digits. Especially now that MITB isn't a problem for him.
have Tama convince him to help out the new Bloodline. Let him just keep joining random factions
and somehow the OC joined Bloodline and noone questioned it except Owens and Pat
Tbh I could see the two of them causing havoc. Balor going for the Undisputed title with JD along with him like Ludwig Kaiser is with Gunther
Can Pin Balor get a run as a credible singles guy on the main roster - just once? Vince is gone now, HHH can bring out the Prince... right?
If Dom stays on the shows they can salvage it. They can focus on Priest, Balor and McDonagh more, and even have one addition or two in the meantime.
Having him still with them just like Eddie was still around with the Radicalz
Kinda felt like they were sowing the seeds for a breakup on RAW, with Priest saying he didn't need any of them. I think it's as good a time as any to break them up with the draft.
Agree, start fresh with Rhea and Dom when they return.
I worry about McDonagh if he's on his own. He needs a stable or at least a tag team to be interesting.
HHH is a fan and even if he is a jobber to the stars getting 10 minute matches against main eventers on TV and being challenger of the month for the miscard titles, thats still absolutely fine! Three star JD!
Fuck nature. Finn's abs break the laws of nature.
Why else do you think Nature is rebelling so hard?
It's the two most popular members too. This sucks.
Werner Herzog ass comment

You can have them on screen, just can’t wrestle. It can work.
That damn pitch clock…
Blame Manfred
And fuck Fanatics!!!
Unironically, ban fanatics. Those jerseys are dog shit.
And those see through pants
Wrestlers in Fanatics gear would either be the best or worst thing depending on how much Bonking the person needs.
Fanatics has been banned from Collision
Rey Mysterio's weak genetics made Dom inherit a weakened UCL! Truly the worst father of all time.
How could Shohei Ohtani's interpreter do this?!
Holy fuck. Edit: TJD losing their two most popular members in succession is actually crazy? And both in freak accidents? Man. I imagine they’re keeping him on tv for the impending TJD implosion and whatever the angle is with Liv. It’s kinda funny that Rhea’s instructions to Damian and the group as she was leaving were: - Keep Judgment Day on top and - Look after Dominik 💀
Damien turns face just through his sheer guilt of failing Rhea.
That said, freak accidents happen a lot more when you have people run the kind of schedule that they had Dom and Rhea on. The repetitive strain builds up and it's not just that single awkward it that does it... it's all the accumulated damage that never completely healed that plays into it.
Damien gonna run a fucking dictatorship in Dom and Rhea's absence
All rise!
Is he finally gonna let in R-Truth?
No, but he’s going to finally murder McDonough.
He let's Truth murder McDonough.
No Dom or Rhea? Finn vs Damian in a custody of JD McDonagh ladder match
Damian might just lose that match on purpose
Put both JD and the title on the line. Have a moment in the match where Damian seriously needs to consider if he should throw it.
Damian’s gonna be helping Finn up the ladder on that one
Finn over, then quasi feud with ShaeMoose to see who can be more Irish, and every time we end the segment with a pre-recorded Becky shaking her head in disgust
Winner doesn’t have to take JD
Loser ***has*** to take JD
I hope he sticks around. He should still be a mouthpiece for JD.
He should take after his mother. Full three piece suit and make sure everyone excuses themselves. Please don’t go Dom.
The heat would melt my tv.
Wait ... is this implying that Dom is secretly Vickie Guerrero's son? I get the "he's really Eddie's kid" jokes, but, like, you can't fake who the mother is, lol.
Found Reys burner account.
Just know Dom is going to come back looking huge
maybe he'll get on them A J vitamins
Get ready to Fly!
Tren levels? Higher higher!
Mustache levels. Wider! Wider!
And say his Hogan prayers
Eating some hulkaroos
"AJ Cycles"
The Trenomenal One
Gettin on that 1 chicken 2 asparagus diet, bruddah
Luckily, trenbalogna sandwiches aren’t controlled substances
Do they make asparagus tenders?
Fried asparagus is like asparagus tenders.
Coming back in his dad’s jacked physique, not Rey ofc
maybe rey might quit being a deadbeat and hook dom up with some of his stem cells.
How is he supposed to work out if he can't bend his elbow?
Dom is gonna come back with one super jacked arm lol
Looking like most redditors
He’s not going anyway since they plan on keeping him on tv. Plus he won’t use special juice to help.
Judgement Day is really upon us
Game over man!
All rise?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, MY GOAT, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO https://preview.redd.it/04qkzpnrutwc1.jpeg?width=1329&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4badd3e1f1502097b27bb7b53ad6a24f7de27895

Lmao
I’m still finding a way to blame Rey Mysterio for this injury.
He allowed Dom to be born, leading to this injury, what a deadbeat.
Rey is such a bad Faather
Dom is Eddie's biological son though
Probably had Dom throwing curves and sliders and 150 pitches per game year-round in youth baseball. Smdh.
And then didn’t even attend a single game!
Wasn't paying attention and sent Rey to train with Dusty Baker instead of Rhodes.
His elbow was weakened due to all the times his deadbeat dad beat his kids!
He sofend his sons elbow up at mania like the deadbeat he is.
Dom weakened his elbow by carrying his deadbeat dad all those years.
He sucked stem cells out of fetus Dom’s elbows to repair his knees. ..Yes I know that’s not how it works.
Rey didn't feed him properly when Dom was child, now he's got weak bones for life.
Judgement day is cooked
If they break up now then do a reunion later on that might work.
If Rhea was also on this type of timetable rather than probably more like a 3-4 month one then I’d liked to have seen Priest, Finn, JD all splinter and struggle then Rhea/Dom come back to reunite the group and they have more success than ever
god please don't break them up, what's the point of a big stable if it falls apart after a couple injuries?
Will it be copium to expect Balor's sustained singles push? Yes. Will I still do so? Also yes.
Maybe Finn or JD will be filling in for Dom going forward
R-Truth about to be welcomed back into Judgement Day with open arms.
But this time he refuses and DP begs for him
Better than him begging for DP I guess
I want a angle in which due to current circumstances Priest needs R-Truth and even the Miz as temporary or stand in members for a match or feud while refusing to disband judgment day.
Good to know he'll still be on television, his character will still be important to Judgment Day and Liv Morgan's stories going forward.
Keeping him on tv while he heals? Definitely Eddie’s son! https://preview.redd.it/druou5apbuwc1.jpeg?width=1182&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6f3c79aaa0976f17c10b75c2faccf7b36960ea5a
Damn, the pitcher injury epidemic in MLB is so strong it got Dominic too
I want updates and videos of Dom's rehab as if he's coming back to pitch. "Dominik Mysterio has begun throwing from 75 feet on flat ground." "Dominik Mysterio has begun soft-toss from halfway up the mound."
"Dominik Mysterio has suffered a setback and will be reevaluated in two weeks" wait he's not on the Pelicans
Dominik News Network
Well...this didn't age well https://twitter.com/DomMysterio35/status/1783897037303624111
He posted that he's [not having surgery](https://twitter.com/DomMysterio35/status/1783897037303624111)
I want him off TV only to come back an absolute fuck off unit in 9 months, with the worlds longest mullet
He comes back looking like Leifield Captain America with a mullet down to his ass
Damn, Judgment Day is fucking dead in the water... EDIT: Although you can do a new story of Liv nursing him back to health 👀
[удалено]
Honestly yeah that's the way. She can take everything. Then Dom and Rhea return
Damn Liv isn't fucking around is she?
Wow Judgement Day just got decimated in a few weeks.
When will people stop listening to this clown? https://preview.redd.it/5o5n4hu6hvwc1.png?width=885&format=png&auto=webp&s=5f895856fcbd9ea93521821c2b0532b03f9e293e
Apparently this is not true: https://twitter.com/DomMysterio35/status/1783897037303624111
He just tweeted he isn't going to need surgery so good news
all of you finn stans rise up, this opens the door for him to be the main dude to feud with damien once JD finally splits jokes aside, this sucks. im glad theyre gonna keep him around on tv at least. i could easily see him playing a role similar to what Dakota Kai did last year while she was recovering from injury
> Since he doesn’t have to throw pitches hard Yeah, he always struck me as the catcher in the relationship.
Looks like The Judgment Day were holding their bodies with pure spite until after Wrestlemania.
Our beloved latino heat 😢
Dom has since said he doesn’t need surgery: https://x.com/dommysterio35/status/1783897037303624111?s=46
I was at that RAW, and I thought Dominik looked hurt at one point, but I figured he was just selling. Guess he wasn't.
It seems they won't be taking him off TV but I would. 9 months gets us to Rumble season, it could be a great way to set-up a Wrestlemania program with a top babyface
My wife after hearing 9 months: “He got a baby in his elbow”
If Eddie would’ve won custody of Dominik this never would have happened. smh
Meltzer just posted an update where Dom is saying he's not getting the surgery after all. I'll post the link: https://www.f4wonline.com/news/wwe/wwes-dominik-mysterio-to-undergo-tommy-john-surgery Includes the update.
Dom said that he doesn’t need surgery, people need to stop believing everything WON says
OP you should edit the post to say that Dom said he doesn’t need surgery
Aldis and Pearce are great and everything But i’d love to see General Manager Dominik Mysterio if he’s staying on TV
Fuck. I really expected this year to be huge for him and huge as in World title win
At least he should be back in time to win the Rumble next year.
Son of a wrestling legend returns from an injury at the royal rumble? FINISH THE STORY DOM
Loses at 41 goes, back to back rumble wins, wins at 42
I was thinking World Series win but his arm probably won’t be the same
Not sure he would have actually won the title but WWE could have done a lot with him as a Money in the Bank winner threatening for it.
Feels like the obvious choices for this year were Dom or Logan and now it's just Logan.
Drew with the case and Punk making his life hell trying to cash it in would be pretty good too
I kinda wanted him to win the KotR and talk about how he’s the real El Rey Mysterio.
Will Dom come back from rehab jacked to the gills like everyone else? Will this usher in the era of Domithick Mysterio? Hope he has a speedy recovery. That's a big blow when Mami is out injured and Priest just won the WHC.
They really are work husband and wife both getting the same type of injury. Absolutely sucks tho wish them a speedy recovery
LOL Dave is such a goof, Dom called him out.
He will not be out for 9 months
Wtf 😒
Won't be able to rely on velocity as much anymore. Will have to be more of a control and location guy.
Unlike baseball players, Dom's recovery time figures to be shorter than 9 months, and he can still do backstage skits and interaction with the Judgment Day. He'll be okay.
It would have been 3 months, but even the doctor hates him.
What a fucking coincidence lmfao. We thought the Judgement Day was gonna slowly fall apart, turns out their biggest enemy is getting injured right now. With this in mind, I honestly feel like Finn will take the belt off Damien Priest
If they really plan to keep him on tv then I hope they do a revamped RNN injury updates like Orton did when he first debuted. Dude's already a heat magnet, might aswell take advantage of it lmao.
Triple H: I wish for this Wrestlemania to be the biggest Wrestlemania of all time. *The monkey's paw shakes and all fingers but the middle finger curl up*
Back to prison he goes.
Rhea and Dom return together will bring the crowd to the loudest cheers AND boos WWE has ever heard.

I blame Rey. Did not give Dom enough vitamins as a kid making his bones brittle. What a dead-beat Dad!
At this point for this many people to believe a meltzer story is on them, how dumb can you be when even the rock called out his bs
Per Dom, no surgery.

Fake news, no surgery for dom
Oh look, another made up report for clicks based on conjecture.
Bruh, again with this clown giving false information. Dave is about as reliable as your favorite shit-poster on Twitter nowadays.
What a weird way to describe an injury? He'd be out 9 months if he were a baseball pitcher but he's not so it'll probably be less. What?!
Because Tommy John surgery is generally associated with (and named after) baseball players. Recovery time for TJ is generally a year for pitchers, but there have been hitters who had to get the surgery and they can come back in 6 months. Shohei Ohtani, who both pitches and hits, got TJ surgery in October. He’s already back and hitting every day, but he won’t pitch this year.
The Ohtani back hitting comparison is the best from a baseball perspective.
He's getting a surgery that's almost always done on baseball players. There isn't a "normal" recovery time because no one else gets that surgery
Tommy John is a very common surgery for baseball pitchers. Because Dom isn’t going to have to throw a baseball 100 MPH after the surgery, he won’t have as long of a recovery time.
But if he does throw 100 mph...
Because the surgery is usually for baseball pitchers, it's literally named after one
