How Does Rey Mysterio Feel About Dominik Mysterio’s WWE Growth?

by

As a long-time fan of the Mysterio family, I’ve been thrilled to witness the incredible journey of Dominik Mysterio within the WWE. From his humble beginnings as a babyface, to his shocking heel turn that redefined his character, and now to his recent victory over his father in a singles match – it’s been an exhilarating ride!

Legendary professional wrestler, previously titled WWE World Champion, Rey Mysterio, is renowned for his distinctive image within the wrestling community. Lately, the esteemed inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame, has expressed his views on the advancement of his son, Dominik Mysterio, over the recent years.

2020 marked Dominik Mysterio’s entry into the world of WWE, where he got entangled in a family-centric storyline with Seth Rollins. This narrative led to a SummerSlam match between him and Rollins. Post his debut, Dom teamed up with his father in the tag team arena, becoming the initial father-son duo to claim the WWE Tag Team Championship.

Initially, Dominik Mysterio entered the wrestling world as a pure and likable rookie, but he frequently played second fiddle to his father. However, his career took an unexpected twist in 2022. At WWE Clash at the Castle, a startling event unfolded when Dominik Mysterio switched allegiances, choosing to side with The Judgment Day instead of his dad, Rey Mysterio.

The shift in allegiance, or “heel turn,” was a pivotal moment for Dominik Mysterio. It provided him the opportunity to carve out his own identity separate from his father’s (Rey Mysterio) legacy. Rapidly adopting this new persona propelled him into WWE’s upper echelon of villains. He skillfully demonstrated his talents and generated substantial fan intrigue in his heel role. Furthermore, this transition opened doors for fresh narratives and feuds that contributed to the evolution of his character.

Despite having differing journeys right now, which has led to a dissimilarity in views between Rey and Dominik, Rey has freely voiced his admiration for his son’s development. Lately, he admitted that he had always thought Dominik would one day outshine him.

Why did Rey Mysterio believe Dominik Mysterio would outshine him?

Legendary WWE Hall of Famer, Rey Mysterio, recently chatted on Busted Open Radio about his son, Dominik’s phenomenal progress within the WWE. Mysterio shared his feelings about Dominik surpassing expectations by achieving feats that even Rey himself never managed to do.

He stated, “I’ve always known, deep down inside my heart that my son was going to be bigger than his father. I didn’t know in what way. But I just knew that he was going to do things that I wasn’t able to do and he was going to take it to the next level. That’s what generations are about, taking it to the next level… He’s doing it and he’s surprising all of us, his family, his peers, the fans. When you grow up in your first four years of being in the business around that type of superstardom, if you don’t learn, I don’t know how you’re going to learn. He picked up on it.”

Even though they’ve run into each other frequently over the last few months, it was just recently that Dominik Mysterio made a substantial breakthrough by beating his dad for the first time in a one-on-one contest.
