Dominik Mysterio has been unstoppable ever since he came out of the shadows of his father and joined The Judgement Day. He is currently one of the biggest heels in the entire WWE and the boos he receives from the crowd fully justify these claims.
In addition to his actions inside the ring, Dirty Dominik doesn’t hold himself back from showing his heel tactics outside the ring. Recently, the former tag team champion did this again during an interview, Dominik made a stunning admission about his real father.
In a recent interview video posted by WWE NXT on Twitter, Dominik was asked a fan question, selected from the “#AskDom”. The question was, “Will you ever reconcile with your dad?”
Answering the question under his heel tactics, Dominik said “You know, I dream about that every night. Sometimes it keeps me up and I can’t sleep. But because he’s no longer with us. RIP, Eddie, you know, I just. I do what I can at this point.”
Some fans might be wondering if Dominik’s statement is true and if Rey is just his storyline father. However, that’s not the case, as Rey Mysterio is the real-life father of Dominik. Dominik claiming that his father is no longer with us is just his way of highlighting his heel persona and generating heat in the WWE universe.
Why did Dominik Mysterio betray his father, Rey Mysterio?
Ever since Dominik’s WWE debut, Rey and Dominik have had each other’s backs. However, things took an unusual turn as Dominik betrayed his father at the Clash at the Castle PPV in September 2022. This happened after months of tensions between the father-son duo, as Dominik turned heel by betraying Rey.
After the betrayal, Dominik joined The Judgement Day and started disrespecting his father, Rey, on WWE TV. He spent weeks challenging his father for a match at WrestleMania 39, but Rey kept insisting on keeping it together. However, when Dominik disgraced his mom and sister, Rey decided to teach him a lesson.
Rey said, “You pushed me to do this. I didn’t want to hit you; you made me hit you. You don’t disrespect your mother like that; that’s my wife. You wanted a fight at WrestleMania? You’re on. … I’ll see you at WrestleMania, son.”
Rey Mysterio’s acceptance of Dominik’s challenge led to a historic match between the father-son duo at WrestleMania 39. It was probably the most personal match in Rey’s 20-year-long career, and he defeated his son. After their epic match, they have both been involved in different storylines. Rey is now seen on SmackDown, whereas Dominik is having the run of his life due to his association with Rhea Ripley.
