There is absolutely no doubt that Rey Mysterio is one of the most popular and greatest luchadors to have ever stepped foot inside the world of professional wrestling and remains a beloved Superstar in WWE. On the WWE WrestleMania Backlash Premium Live Event last year, Rey Mysterio and his son Dominik Mysterio challenged Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode for the Smackdown Tag Team Titles. They would go on to defeat Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode for the Smackdown Tag Team Titles and become the first-ever father and son duo to win the WWE tag team titles in the company’s history. Rey Mysterio’s daughter Aalyah Mysterio is also gone for a bad reason.
The two lost the titles eventually and since then they have been working together on Monday Night RAW following last year’s edition of WWE Draft. Rey Mysterio has worked hard to get where he is in professional wrestling, as he worked for over three decades. He still had very humble beginnings as he started wrestling at a very young age.
Eventually, his son betrayed him after Dominik Mysterio then joined Judgment Day.
In an interview with Wrestling Inc, newly prison-hardened Dominik Mysterio reflected on the bizarre storyline. The young wrestler wished that Eddie Guerrero had won his custody instead of Rey Mysterio, as Eddie was his kayfabe biological father.
“I feel like I’ve always been drawn to Eddie, whether it’s early 90s Eddie, WCW Eddie, or it’s ‘I’m your papi’ Eddie, and to me, any Eddie is the best Eddie and he’s just the top of the top to me and anything I do is in his honor, man — the mullet, everything. So for me, yeah. He’s the man.”
“Yeah, 100%. And I mean, WWE storyline, he is my dad. So, man. I would’ve loved to have gone home with Uncle Eddie at this point, right? I feel like we would’ve had a really good dynamic at home.”
“I always tell people, I feel like Eddie and my dad slowly planted that seed of me becoming a wrestler without me even knowing when I was eight in that storyline.”
