Rey Mysterio is the latest superstar who will be celebrating his 20-year anniversary with the company on WWE Raw. As per the confirmations made by the company, a celebration is now planned for the special Monday Night Raw episode scheduled on July 25 from Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio returned to WWE Raw in mid-May to get decimated by Veer Mahaan. These beatdowns by the Indian superstars were supposed to lead to an on-screen split between the two. In the past, Rey was against the idea but the plans may have been put back in place.

Reports suggest that WWE could be planning to swerve the fans by having Dominik Mysterio turn heel on his father. The upcoming July 25 episode of WWE Raw takes place at Madison Square Garden and that night will also mark the celebration of the legendary Rey Mysterio 20th anniversary on that evening. Since Dominik is being pursued to join The Judgment Day that night could make the long-anticipated split a reality.

In a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer discussed that WWE may finally pull the trigger on a Dominik Mysterio heel-turn, next week. Given that WWE Raw MSG night will be focused on Rey and his legendary career, it makes sense that WWE would want to make Dom the villain and digest some natural heel heat in the process,
“It feels like if they are going to do the Dominik turn, and it’s certainly being teased hard, this ceremony would be an idea of where to do it. Plus, Vince McMahon has a special affinity for MSG so one would expect a show with more major stories coming out of it and for it to be pushed much harder than usual to draw a bigger rating.”
Before Cody Rhodes’ injury, WWE Raw July 25 episode had the original main event in Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins. It was later changed to Rollins vs. Riddle in a singles contest. Then it has now been booked in a tag team match with the lineup standing Riddle and The Street Profits vs. WWE Undisputed Champion Roman Reigns and Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos.
WWE Raw from Madison Square Garden would be the go-home episode for Summerslam 2022 and it will have all the star power on the red brand for the final builds of the premium live event. Rey Mysterio is likely to be an integral part of the show as the process of elevating his son to the next tier would probably begin, that night.
