Dominik Mysterio’s abandoned mask debut and SummerSlam 2026 storyline

Dominik Mysterio disclosed that his original WWE debut was to feature a lucha‑style mask, a concept his father Rey Mysterio once championed. Masks were even produced and he trained wearing one, but the plan was abandoned when WWE accelerated his entry into the Seth Rollins storyline, prompting a swift character shift without a mask.

Ahead of WWE SummerSlam 2026 in Minneapolis, Dominik addressed rumors about his on‑screen partnership with Liv Morgan, confirming the pair remain together and that Morgan will retain her title at the event. He also revealed he will compete in a "Human Monies on a Pole" match against Danhausen at the same show.
