Dominik Mysterio has his hands full on both WWE Monday Night Raw and Lucha Libre AAA. He is scheduled to face Danhausen at SummerSlam on Sunday amidst chaos within Judgment Day<\/a>. But he also had to deal with Los Perros del Mal as the AAA Mega Champion\u00a0after many attacks by the faction. <\/span><\/p>\n

To deal with them, he enlisted the help of El Grande Americano<\/a> to face off against two of their members. On night one of AAA Verano de Escandalo, they faced off against Angel and their leader, Daga. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, Angel and Daga won as he abandoned Americano near the end of the match. Afterward, Dorian Roldan and Omos approached him from behind. But they didn\u2019t attack him; instead, they shook hands and solidified a shocking alliance. He is now a member of two major factions on two separate WWE brands. Was this a good decision, or will this lead to a downfall that could potentially cost him his AAA Mega Championship?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dominik Mysterio Has Powerful Backup Against Any Opponent<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

If there\u2019s one thing that Mysterio is known for, it’s that he\u2019s always used cheating to his advantage. Whether it\u2019s himself doing despicable things or members of the Judgment Day helping him out, he always manages to sneak out a victory. With his father Rey as the AAA General Manager, he probably realized that it wouldn\u2019t be as easy now to do those things. By aligning with El Ojo<\/a>, he has the biggest advantage of all\u00a0right\u00a0beside him to help him get important wins.<\/span><\/p>\n

Omos has shown his power and size for years across WWE. On May 23 at AAA, he defeated Chris Carter, Daimo, and Kingoo in a three-on-one handicap match with ease. He\u2019s also very intimidating, as shown earlier in the night when he and Roldan confronted Rey about the vacant AAA Latin American Championship. Mysterio aligning with them is a smart move. Omos will use his size to help him secure important wins to keep him AAA Mega Champion.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Who He Betrayed, and Joined Could Ruin His Success<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Mysterio is no stranger to betraying wrestlers, with Americano being the latest one on a long list. However, Americano now has the respect of Chad Gable after their incredible mask vs. mask match on night one of Noche de los Grandes. <\/span><\/p>\n

He hasn\u2019t returned to AAA yet, but promised to do so that night. There\u2019s no way he doesn\u2019t know about Mysterio\u2019s betrayal, so his coming back to defend Americano would be a great way to return. Mysterio also joined El Ojo last Saturday. <\/span><\/p>\n

There was a third member who is currently injured, El Hijo del Vikingo. He has been Mysterio\u2019s greatest rival since WWE bought AAA, losing the AAA Mega Championship to him at Worlds Collide: Las Vegas last year. There\u2019s no question he\u2019s furious about getting replaced in El Ojo. <\/span><\/p>\n

Mysterio may have joined an important faction, but doing so has created many enemies. Gable and Vikingo will definitely target him upon their returns, which could create chaos and trouble caused by his own decision-making.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Mysterio\u2019s Future in AAA?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

What happened on Saturday night was a huge moment that can change the course of AAA in a major way. Mysterio betrayed Americano, leaving him\u00a0to be pinned\u00a0and then attacked by Los Perros del Mal<\/a>. Then he joined El Ojo\u00a0as the third member, shocking everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Americano has a major connection in Gable, who has made up with the luchadores of WWE and is willing to defend them at any time. El Ojo\u2019s actual third member is\u00a0Vikingo,\u00a0who\u2019s\u00a0currently out of action with\u00a0a torn ACL. <\/span><\/p>\n

He has faced Vikingo several times, and beat him for the AAA Mega Championship to kick off his ongoing reign. With this move, he has secured both a part in a powerful faction and security with Omos and Roldan. But he has now made enemies in Americano, Bravo and Rayo, and more than likely Gable and Vikingo when they return. Mysterio has to be careful in the future as his decision has likely ignited fury in many different wrestlers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
