Dominik Mysterio, the current WWE Intercontinental Champion, recently received a touching message from Sherilyn Guerrero, daughter of late WWE legend Eddie Guerrero. This interaction highlights the strong emotional bond fans and wrestlers see between Dominik and the Guerrero family, amplified by an ongoing WWE storyline.
Since turning heel in WWE, Dominik has repeatedly claimed that Eddie Guerrero, rather than Rey Mysterio, is his “real” father. This claim echoes a famous 2005 storyline in which Guerrero and Rey Mysterio fought over the custody of young Dominik, leading many fans to emotionally associate Dominik as part of the Guerrero family.
Sherilyn Guerrero posted an Instagram photo with Dominik, calling him her brother and emphasizing that a shared last name wasn’t necessary to feel connected. Dominik acknowledged the post with a like, showing mutual respect and affection.
“When brother & sister link up 😅 don’t need a last name to know we locked in 4life! Good to see you fam, till next time 🫂,” —Sherilyn Guerrero
