Dominik Mysterio continues to hold the Dominik Mysterio Intercontinental Championship firmly on WWE RAW after a recent title defense against AJ Styles. Looking ahead, Dominik is preparing to face El Hijo del Vikingo for the AAA Mega Championship at Worlds Collide, which could make him a double champion within WWE.
Despite Dominik’s successes, his father and longtime WWE star, Rey Mysterio, remains the only competitor widely expected to challenge him effectively for the Intercontinental Championship.
Rey Mysterio gearing up for a significant comeback
Rey Mysterio has been absent from WWE television since April 18, 2025, due to an injury sustained during his last SmackDown appearance. Reports indicate that he is close to returning, with plans to visit the WWE Performance Centre soon as he prepares for his comeback.
The dynamic between Rey and Dominik adds depth to this storyline, as they are not only celebrated father and son but also wrestling adversaries. Dominik’s current alignment with The Judgment Day and their past WWE matches, including Rey’s WrestleMania 39 victory over his son, frame Rey as a serious contender to reclaim the Intercontinental title.
Why Rey’s experience gives him the edge over Dominik
Rey Mysterio’s understanding of Dominik’s tactics, combined with his vast experience, places him in a favorable position to outmaneuver and overpower his son in the ring. Their similar wrestling styles provide Rey with insight into Dominik’s moves, increasing his chances in a rematch.
Given Rey’s previous WrestleMania win against Dominik and his status as a Hall of Famer, many see him as the wrestler most capable of ending Dominik’s reign as Intercontinental Champion.
Potential for a high-stakes double title bout at Survivor Series 2025
The WWE Survivor Series scheduled for 2025 will take place in San Diego, California—both Rey and Dominik’s hometown. Should Dominik secure the AAA Mega Championship, WWE’s creative team led by Triple H could arrange a double championship match between father and son at this major event.
This matchup would not only emphasize the personal rivalry but also serve as a major draw for the live audience, showcasing Rey Mysterio defending his legacy in front of his home crowd while challenging for both titles.
Booking such a compelling and emotional contest could significantly heighten interest in Survivor Series, creating a memorable chapter in both wrestlers’ careers.
