There’s been plenty of grumbling already, but am I alone in thinking this actually could have been a great midcard program? Dominik turning heel on his father wrote itself, a compelling story to make up for his deficiencies was a must, Rhea as the manipulator pulling his strings made as much sense as anyone given she has become a walking fanfiction. But this whole thing is so convoluted and plodding and there is no clear pay off in sight. Feels like a waste.

I think it's been fine for right now. It's one of those programs that's likely going to be remembered more fondly after the fact, while some of the week to week is a mess. Like, not saying this will be as big as it, obviously, but people remember Kane vs Undertaker as this great program, and it was... sorta. There was also a LOT of bullshit that led to Undertaker finally agreeing to wrestle Kane.
Similarly, we're at the doldrums, but Rey vs Dominik will be something good for him, likely, but Rey refusing to wrestle Dominik is one of those things that makes perfect sense and puts over both guys' characters, but also is difficult to not have a ton of filler because otherwise, Rey is breaking his word entirely too easily.

Rey/Dom is a Mania match and to do it anywhere else is probably not getting the most out of it, TBH.
Let Rey go work with some guys on Smackdown and be a positive ratings add there, meanwhile Dom can work singles bouts on RAW and get in the reps he needs while also developing his own character.
Eventually, Dom's going to do something that requires Rey to step in. I think we get Rey vs. Dom in Mask vs. Hair at Mania with Rey beating his kid like he said he wanted to do on Twitter all those years ago.

Rhea just fulfils a sort of empty role now with Rey now on SD..or I should not say empty but it isn't as important now because 1/2 of this story is now on SD and likely isn't getting reignited untill the rumble.
I assume after Rey kicks his sons ass at Mania they reunite and they end this Rhea and Dom pairing.

I assume after Rey kicks his sons ass at Mania they reunite and they end this Rhea and Dom pairing. I mean, it could still work if Rhea and Dom went full "Edge & Lita" sleazy with it. Especially with Edge right there to see it all. I don't know if that's something either of them would want to do, though. |

I think they're just going to have her accompany him to matches while she has her own singles feuds now. I don't think they're going to go full-on couple with them. |

I don't think they're going to go full-on couple with them. Which would make sense with the timing of her starting to wrestle again just as Rey got moved to Smackdown. Though I believe she said she was cleared a while back, so part of it was probably just that they didn't want to waste any feuds while they were getting a lot (and she was getting a lot of TV time) out of her being a general menace. |

This angle really points out that last barrier of separating disbelief. Like, Rey is meant to be emotionally shattered at all this, his son turning his back on him and physically assaulting him, to the point where he’s trying to completely separate himself from the situation entirely. Meanwhile us jerks are like “OH, F***ING DEAL WITH IT AND WHUP HIS ASS, HE’S NOT EVEN YOUR REAL SON”.  |

Story? STORY?! This is 100% real. Every night, Dom sleeps, suspended from the roof by his nipples. And I won’t hear any different.

It's going to be great when Rhea reveals that she and Judgement Day were just using Dom just to f*** with Rey.

This is exactly what my thread was supposed to be, until someone did a Simpsons meme on it. |
