Dominik Mysterio and Judgment Day Pay Tribute To Carlito On RAW After WWE Release
The Judgment Day paid tribute to their soon-to-be former stablemate, Carlito. In about two weeks, Carlito will depart WWE as the company opted not to renew his existing contract. In the meantime, his Judgment Day stablemates paid tribute to him on this week's episode of WWE Raw. Advertisement While appearing in a backstage segment inside the Judgment Day clubhouse, Dominik Mysterio sported a 'That's Not Cool' t-shirt, which is still listed on WWE Shop. Upon closer inspection, fans also noticed that the television, on which Carlito frequently played the WWE 2K25 video game through his PS5, was turned off. Carlito became an official member of the Judgment Day last year, just months after he turned on the Latino World Order. Since then, he has mainly been seen aiding his Judgement Day stablemates to victory, in addition to eating apples and playing WWE 2K25 backstage. His last WWE match came on the April 18 episode of WWE SmackDown in which he competed in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Advertisement One day before news of his imminent exit emerged, Carlito defeated Ray Gonzalez for the WWC Puerto Rico Championship at the World Wrestling Council, a promotion co-owned by his father Carlos Colon. Carlito, 46, officially returned to WWE in 2023, beginning with an appearance at the Backlash premium live event. Months later, he resurfaced by helping the LWO at Fastlane.

3 reasons why WWE can end Liv Morgan & Dominik Mysterio's onscreen romance
Image via WWE The time for Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio 's romance in WWE might be coming to an end. WWE Universe witnessed one of the most interesting storylines that began last year involving Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio. After Morgan injured Rhea Ripley, she began pursuing her boyfriend, Dominik Mysterio. After months of resistance, Dirty Dom finally gave in to her advances and sided with Morgan, betraying his Mami at the 2024 SummerSlam event. The duo has displayed amazing chemistry on WWE live television each week. However, witnessing recent events and the course of their relationship so far, WWE might be thinking of splitting them up. Here are three reasons the Liv-Dom love story can end on WWE TV soon: 3. Both superstars can move in a new direction to take their careers to the next level Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio are featured together on WWE television. This has limited their presence and scope to focus on other storylines, in a way hampering their growth as performers. The promotion should split them up so that they could branch out as individual superstars instead of a couple. Morgan could once again find herself in the World title picture, while Mysterio, being the current Intercontinental Champion can focus on being a top champion while also eyeing a World Championship himself. 2. The onscreen romance has run its course Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan's storyline has spanned for close to a year. They have done everything as a power couple, from steamy and shocking moments to mixed tag team matches and even being champions at the same time. Therefore, the storyline has run its course and no longer a top attraction on Monday Night RAW like it used to be in the start. This can be a major reason for WWE to split them up. 1. Roxanne Perez 's involvement with the Judgment Day One of the biggest reasons that Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan's alliance could be coming to an end is the arrival of former NXT standout, Roxanne Perez. For weeks, she had been spotted talking with the Judgment Day member, Finn Balor. On the May 19th edition of RAW, Balor introduced Perez to the group and said that they could enlist her help. At first, Dirty Dom was not keen, but after she presented him with his favorite chicken tenders, he was thrilled and shared a glance with her. More of such instances, and Mysterio could move on from Morgan to Perez, much like he did to Rhea Ripley. Dominik Mysterio proving to be the ultimate playboy could lead to her onscreen relationship with Liv Morgan coming to its demise.

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Dominik Mysterio, one of WWE's most talked-about young talents, is making it very clear how he feels about the company's current successful time. During an important recent interview with Jim Varsallone, Mysterio didn't just say that WWE's modern era is doing very well; he declared it was much better than the often-praised Attitude Era. Mysterio made a bold comparison, directly going against the fond memories many fans have of the late 1990s. "A lot of people would say the Attitude Era is the best era in wrestling, right? Or like the most money-driven era in wrestling. But I think this current era that we are currently in has it beat by a long, long... I don't know... miles," Mysterio stated. Explaining his view more, the former NXT North American Champion praised many parts of WWE's current way of doing things. He insisted that the company is currently "firing on all cylinders," doing great in important areas that make a wrestling company successful. "We're doing some of the best work that we have ever done. Whether it's storylines, whether it's in-ring wrestling, merchandise that we're producing – just everything is top level from the WWE right now," he continued, pointing out the overall good quality.

Dominik Mysterio reveals WWE pay secrets, childhood earnings, and strange fan moments
Image via WWE WWE Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio is known for his dramatic in-ring storylines, but the star recently peeled back the curtain on real-life experiences that are just as compelling. In candid podcast appearances, the 27-year-old offered rare insight into WWE's financial ecosystem, a childhood memory involving a missing paycheck, and a wild fan encounter that left him stunned. Breaking down WWE's main roster pay system Appearing on Bradley Martyn's Raw Talk, Dominik revealed that making it to WWE's main roster brings more than fame - it offers a significant pay upgrade. 'Main roster, once you're on TV like Raw or SmackDown, you're making good money. Definitely six figures,' he said. While exact figures vary, Mysterio explained that income depends on multiple factors - including how talent is used on TV, merchandise sales, and even licensing deals like action figures and video games.

'When you're first getting signed, if you're doing an NXT deal, that's different,' he noted. 'From NXT, you move on to the main roster - that's a whole different contract.' According to reports, the minimum base salary for a WWE main roster talent was recently raised from $250,000 to $350,000 per year. Top-tier stars like Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes reportedly earn between $10 to $15 million annually. Childhood Paycheck Sparks Family Drama In another podcast Mysterio shared a surprising anecdote from his early years in WWE. He revealed that he was paid $5,000 for appearing in the iconic 2005 feud between his father, Rey Mysterio, and Eddie Guerrero - but he never saw most of it. 'My parents told me I got five grand,' he said on the Intoxicados podcast. 'I went to Toys R Us, spent maybe $300 or $400. When I asked to go to Target after, my mom said, 'That's it. That's all your money.'' Dominik Mysterio on Winning Wrestlemania, Defeating Penta 3 Times, & Memories With Eddie Guerrero! Dominik believes the rest of the money might have gone to his sister Aalyah's college fund. 'They told me they put it aside, but I never saw it again,' he joked. Dominik also recalled a bizarre fan encounter that left even WWE's security baffled. A woman, honeymooning with her husband, approached him and said she insisted on meeting him during their trip - then invited him to her hotel. 'I looked at the husband and said, 'You better come get your girl before she gets dirty,'' he recalled. The husband reportedly just shrugged it off, adding, 'I'm only here for her.' While Dominik's heel persona may get heat on TV, it's clear the real-life reactions from fans are just as intense.
