Rey Mysterio & Dominik responded to Seth Rollins
After The Monday Night Messiah insulted his legacy earlier in the evening, Rey Mysterio appeared on Raw to set the record straight on his eye injury. Mysterio, wearing an eyepatch, said he doesn’t have an answer at this point as to whether his career is over. He could be cleared in a few weeks, or he could never again be cleared to compete.
Nonetheless, Mysterio is furious with Rollins for what he put his family through, and he can never forgive The Monday Night Messiah. That was clearly evident when Mysterio’s son Dominik joined, demanding that someone from the family get retribution on Rollins. After Mysterio left the room, Dominik had a warning for The Monday Night Messiah about what may lie ahead for him: “An eye for an eye.”
