Dominik Mysterio continues to rise as both the WWE Intercontinental Champion and the AAA Mega Champion, yet his relationship with his father, Rey Mysterio, appears deeply fractured. On-screen tensions have accumulated over time, leaving the two estranged in WWE storytelling and real-life dynamics. Rey Mysterio recently opened up about their current standing, confirming that the bond with his son remains irreparably broken.
Rey Mysterio, known as the Master of 619, has been absent from WWE’s weekly programming ever since he was pulled from WrestleMania 41 at the last minute due to injury. Although his WWE appearances have been limited, he has made occasional appearances with the AAA promotion. One notable moment came during the WWE vs. AAA Worlds Collide event, when Rey was seen placing the AAA Mega Championship belt on Dominik’s waist after a match, highlighting the ongoing storyline friction between them.
Rey Addresses Rift with Dominik in Candid Remarks
In a recent interview on the Shoboy Show, Rey Mysterio addressed the severity of the divide between him and Dominik. He acknowledged the rupture bluntly, saying,
“Of course not. There’s no way. Yes (On if their relationship is broken). 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
Rey’s frustration stems from Dominik’s confidence, which Rey described as misplaced, referring to his son as the “Scarface of wrestling.” He expressed his intention to humble Dominik when he returns.
“He might wanna be taking over the world of wrestling. I think that’s what he wants. He’s the Scarface of wrestling right now. He’s on cloud nine right now. Let him ride it, let him ride it. I’ll eventually knock him back on his a**.” – Rey Mysterio, WWE Hall of Famer
Rey Mysterio Approaches WWE Comeback
Reports indicate that Rey Mysterio’s return to WWE action is drawing near. Mike Johnson of PWInsider revealed that Rey was expected to visit the WWE Performance Center this week. While Rey is not yet fully medically cleared to wrestle, his recovery is progressing, suggesting a possible in-ring comeback soon.
With Survivor Series: WarGames scheduled to take place in Rey’s hometown of San Diego, speculation grows that he may face his son Dominik in a marquee bout for both the AAA Mega Championship and the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Such a match could deepen the complicated narrative between father and son while thrilling fans.
The Fallout and What Lies Ahead for the Mysterios
The public confirmation of tension between Rey and Dominik Mysterio adds a real-life dimension to their storyline rift, underscoring how personal and professional conflicts often blend in wrestling. Dominik’s rise as a champion is providing a stark contrast to his father’s legendary career, fueling both storyline heat and behind-the-scenes uncertainty.
Rey Mysterio’s impending WWE return could reignite their feud, delivering a meaningful confrontation for audiences and perhaps an opportunity for eventual reconciliation. Given the high stakes, the evolving relationship between these two generations of Mysterios remains one of the most intense and emotionally charged angles in wrestling today.
