The ongoing tension between Rey and Dominik Mysterio intensified during the WWE Worlds Collide event on September 12. Dominik claimed the AAA Mega Championship, marking a significant milestone in his wrestling career, and publicly celebrated by insisting his father hand over the title. This moment highlighted their growing personal discord, which has been evident for some time.
The Rey Mysterio family feud has drawn attention as the WWE Hall of Famer addressed their strained connection on the Shoboy Show, confirming the rift between father and son remains unhealed.
Rey Mysterio Acknowledges Broken Bond With Son
Rey openly described Dominik as “the Scarface of wrestling,” emphasizing the serious divide in their relationship. He affirmed that their connection is fractured, stating,
“Of course not. There’s no way. Yes (the relationship is broken).”
He questioned whether Dominik’s recent success could overshadow Rey’s extensive 34-year career, adding:
“He really believes he’s the best Mysterio in the world. Now, I mean, can a one night accomplishment overcome 34 years of career? That’s a fan question. I can’t answer that. I wish I could.” – Rey Mysterio, WWE Hall of Famer
Despite the tension, Rey acknowledged that Dominik’s confidence is high, referring to his son’s current status as “your Mega Intercontinental Champion” and suggesting his ambition is to dominate the wrestling world.
Father Predicts Future Challenges Amid Rivalry
Rey remarked that Dominik is currently riding high on his recent victories but hinted that this phase may be temporary. He warned,
“He’s on cloud nine right now. Let him ride it, let him ride it. I’ll eventually knock him back on his ass.” – Rey Mysterio, WWE Hall of Famer
This comment reflects Rey’s belief that their rivalry will continue and that he remains confident about reclaiming prominence, despite their fractured dynamic.
Family Matters Extend Beyond the Feud
While Rey’s relationship with Dominik is strained, he remains supportive of his daughter’s recent interest in wrestling training, signaling a potential new chapter for the family within the sport. Rey himself is preparing for an in-ring comeback after being sidelined by injury since before WrestleMania 41.
The evolving family drama within the WWE universe adds a personal layer to the professional storylines, keeping fans engaged with both the athletic and emotional journeys of the Mysterio family.
