Mysterio has explained the reasoning behind his imprisonment as part of a WWE storyline.
The incident occurred on Christmas Eve 2022, when Dominik and Rhea Ripley visited his grandparents’ home. An altercation arose between Dominik and his parents, resulting in his arrest.
Despite his claims, Dominik feels that fans do not believe he served hard time in prison. He elaborated, stating that the authorities removed him from the house due to the situation’s escalating nature. He was taken into custody, while Rhea and the others were not.
Furthermore, Dominik clarified that he was arrested because of how he handled the situation, adding that he grabbed one of the officers inappropriately, which led to his confinement for a certain period.
In summary, Dominik Mysterio spoke about the prison experience he endured as part of a WWE storyline and attempted to convince fans that he did, in fact, serve time.
“I think that they don’t believe that I actually did hard time. They don’t believe that I did time in prison, but what they don’t realize is that once things got out of hand at my grandparents’ house, they took me away.
And after Rhea’s actions, not even Rhea, but my mom slapped Rhea, so it wasn’t even us,” Dominik continued. “We were the ones that got taken away because of how I handled the situation. I guess I grabbed one of the cops the wrong way, they locked me up for a certain amount of time.”
A lot of the people aren’t gonna believe that, but Mami was there, Priest was there, and Finn was there when they bailed me out, so they know how real it was.”
