Dramatic speculation is swirling around the possibility of a Dominik Mysterio potential retirement match with Rey Mysterio, as hints from recent WWE developments suggest a monumental father-son showdown could be on the horizon. Following Dominik Mysterio’s rapid rise and Rey’s injury hiatus, fans wonder if a historic and emotional match could be set for SummerSlam 2025.
Father and Son’s WWE Paths Converge Amid Uncertainty
Dominik Mysterio continues his ascendancy within WWE, highlighted by his victory for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 41 and his significant role within The Judgment Day stable. Meanwhile, Rey Mysterio, the legendary luchador and three-time world champion, was originally slated to compete against El Grande Amricano at WrestleMania. However, a legitimate injury on the final SmackDown before the event forced Rey to withdraw, as he suffered a torn groin and a damaged eardrum, sidelining him from competition.
During his absence, Rey Mysterio shared an image on Instagram featuring himself and Dominik from earlier days when their alliance was a fan favorite. This nostalgic post led many fans to speculate in the comments that it might foreshadow Rey’s retirement, possibly at the hands of his son upon his return. However, as of now, there is no official word from either Rey Mysterio or WWE regarding any retirement plans or a final match arrangement.
The image and its subsequent social media buzz have intensified debates about whether Dominik will be the last opponent for his father, given their personal history and current career trajectories. Despite mounting speculation, everything remains unconfirmed and firmly rooted in rumor for the time being.
Dominik Mysterio’s In-Ring Alliances Face Change
Parallel to the swirling father-son speculation, Liv Morgan’s recent return to WWE from filming “Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo” has altered visible alliances within The Judgment Day. Notably, Morgan is no longer accompanied to the ring by Dominik Mysterio. She explained her decision on RAW Recap, openly addressing the situation:
“Yeah, I’ve asked Dominik to stay back. Is that okay with you?… I’ve asked Dominik to please, I know you care for me so much, and you just want the best for me. But respectfully and lovingly, stay back and let me cook,”
she said. —Liv Morgan, WWE Superstar
Asked if her relationship with Dominik is still positive, Morgan responded in the interview while also referencing the recent Netflix Tudum event. Since coming back, she has suffered defeats in both her matches, including missing out on an opportunity to qualify for the Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match. Nevertheless, Morgan affirmed that things are good between her and Dominik, but also noted her focus on other competitors like Finn Balor and Roxanne Perez as WWE storylines continue to evolve.
Anticipation Builds for WWE’s Next Landmark Moment
With Rey Mysterio’s possible return still under wraps, and Dominik Mysterio’s star rapidly rising, the potential for an emotional, headline-making bout between father and son has injected tension and excitement into WWE’s future landscape. If arranged, this Dominik Mysterio potential retirement match with Rey Mysterio would not only mark a pivotal moment for The Judgment Day stable but also an iconic chapter for WWE itself. As speculation grows and key stars such as Liv Morgan, Finn Balor, and Roxanne Perez shape ongoing storylines, WWE fans eagerly await official confirmation on Rey Mysterio’s status and what could be a blockbuster showdown at SummerSlam 2025.
