Rey Mysterio’s Personal Reflection Ahead of WWE RAW
Prior to the new episode, Rey Mysterio posted a nostalgic photograph on Instagram featuring himself and his son, Dominik Mysterio, who currently holds the Intercontinental Championship. The image captures a moment from their heated rivalry, serving as a reminder of the personal and professional complexity between the two.
The wrestling legend openly stated that he will never forget his storyline with his son, inviting WWE fans to describe their dynamic in a single word, which sparked considerable buzz among followers of the red brand. Rey’s message set the tone for the evening, bridging his real-life relationship with Dominik to their ongoing confrontation on television.
“Some moments stay with you forever…A son. A father. A ring. Describe this rivalry in just one word. 👇,” he wrote.
Dominik Mysterio has recently fueled the rivalry even more with his comments and ongoing actions, intensifying the father–son feud that has become a focal point of WWE programming.
Dominik Mysterio’s Recent Championship Triumphs and Claims
Dominik’s wrestling career has gained momentum, especially after he clinched the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 41. Dominik managed to pin his own Judgment Day stablemate, Finn Balor, in a Fatal Four-Way Match at the celebrated event. Quickly solidifying his status, Dominik—often called “Dirty Dom”—went on to successfully defend the championship against Penta at Backlash, thanks in part to interference from El Grande Americano.

This mounting list of achievements has only stoked the competitive fire between the Mysterios, amplifying the emotional stakes of every encounter, especially on WWE RAW, where their rivalry takes center stage.
Sharp Humor and Tension: Dominik’s Remarks About Rey
Dominik recently escalated tensions further in an exclusive Sportskeeda Wrestling interview. He made several personal remarks about his father, suggesting Rey’s iconic mask was necessary because of his looks and lack of hair, and dismissing him as “a terrible person.” Dominik didn’t hold back his pointed criticism, which added another layer of intensity to their storyline feud.
“I unfortunately lived with this man for 15+ years,” Dominik said. “He’s a deadbeat. He’s a terrible person. He’s not good. He’s ugly. That’s why he has to wear a mask. He has no hair. You guys are about the same height, so you got that going for you as far as being a fan. […] I just don’t like him. I don’t like the guy. You’re sitting there smiling. It seems like you’re just happy that I’m talking about him. But it’s okay, it is what it is.” [10:15 – 10:53] —Dominik Mysterio, Intercontinental Champion

What This Means for Future WWE RAW Storylines
Recently, Rey Mysterio hinted at the possibility of Dominik being his final opponent when the time comes for his retirement match, a move that could bring their narrative full circle. With Dominik’s grip on the Intercontinental Championship still secure, WWE fans are watching closely to see how long he can maintain his momentum amid increasing pressure.
