WWE Quietly Gearing Up a Major Dominik Mysterio Return Ahead of WrestleMania Season
Dominik Mysterio’s comeback to WWE TV appears to be closer than most fans realize, and there’s already significant buzz backstage about what comes next for one of the company’s fastest-rising stars.
After suffering a shoulder injury late last year at AAA’s Guerra de Titanes event, Dominik was forced off television at a time when his momentum was peaking. He walked into that setback carrying rare dual gold as both WWE Intercontinental Champion and AAA Mega Champion, making his sudden absence even more noticeable.
Now, that waiting game may finally be over.
According to multiple backstage discussions, WWE has been actively talking about reintroducing Dominik as early as this week’s episode of RAW in Philadelphia. If that plan holds, his return would land right in the middle of WrestleMania season, a prime window for WWE to refresh major storylines and elevate key talent.
Big Plans, Bigger Stakes
Internally, there’s excitement about what Dominik’s return could unlock creatively. His schedule reportedly includes upcoming AAA appearances, highlighted by a major title defense in Puebla on March 14. That timing lines up cleanly with WWE’s internal plans, hinting at a coordinated push across both promotions.
With championships in two companies, Dominik gives WWE a unique storytelling advantage. Creative discussions have reportedly touched on everything from re-establishing him in the Intercontinental Championship picture to weaving his AAA success directly into his WWE character.
Judgment Day is also expected to feel the ripple effects. A Dominik return could immediately shift the group’s direction and inject new energy into one of WWE’s most important factions heading into WrestleMania.
There’s even early talk of potential high-profile matchups designed to test Dominik at a new level, involving names WWE is eager to spotlight in 2026. Nothing is finalized yet, but the message backstage is clear: this isn’t just a return — it’s the start of a bigger chapter.
All signs point to WWE bringing Dominik Mysterio back sooner rather than later, and when he does step back onto RAW, it looks like the company already has far more planned than fans might expect.
