Dominik Mysterio Articles - Page 4

Santos Escobar is a big Rey Mysterio guy. He grew up watching his matches in Mexico, dreamed of having a career of his caliber, and even gave the Hall of Fame-bound luchador one of his El Hijo del Fantasma masks during a criminally non-broadcasted segment for WWE social media. Sure, eventually, Escobar would like to […]

Whether you like hin or not, the first SmackDown after the 2023 WWE Elimination Chamber might as well have been subtitled “The Dominik Mysterio Edition,” because the third-generation luchador was all over the show, cutting into a touching segment between his father Rey and Santos Escobar, the man he almost views like a father, fighting […]

After powering through a fast-paced first hour of SmackDown, the WWE Universe waited with bated breath to finally see Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair stand in the same ring and talk some smack heading into their WrestleMania 39 match. Flair came out first and delivered the opening blows of what many expected to be an […]

Though things didn’t go the way The Judgement Day wanted at the Elimination Chamber, with Finn Balor, Rhea Ripley, and Damian Priest ending their respective matches with their shoulder on that mat, the faction isn’t in dire straights, as their “Nightmare” still has her ticket punched to WrestleMania after winning the Women’s Royal Rumble. Afforded […]

The Judgement Day formed on April 3rd last year and has had an interesting ten months on the main roster. Edge was the original founding member of the group, and nearly a year later, he’s feuding with the same members he brought to the stable. The Judgement Day is composed of Finn Balor, Damian Priest, […]

If it’s a holiday, WWE fans can more or less expect Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley to have something up their collective sleeve to try to rain on Rey Mysterio’s day. Now granted, their schemes don’t always work, as Mysterio famously landed in prison on Christmas because of a failed trick on his “deadbeat dad,” […]

The WWE is filled with many young up-and-coming talents with a bright future ahead of them. There are some superstars who you know will become world champions one day. At the same time, some superstars need a little more work before being thrown into the main event scene. With Triple H in charge of creative, […]

When news broke that Cody Rhodes, the winner of the 2023 Royal Rumble, was going to be featured in the opening segment on RAW – thanks for the scoop, Byron Saxton – fans strapped into their seats, knowing that something very interesting was coming their way. Popping up from the Cody-vator to the tune of […]

When Rey Mysterio’s music hit at spot 17, fans were over the moon to see one of the best luchadors in the history of the sport pull off his usual high-flying antics in one of his signature events. After going the distance from spot two to set the record for the longest time in a […]

The second feud a performer has in WWE can make or break their entire run with the company. Now sure, sometimes, performers don’t even make it to their second feud, as Karrion Kross learned all too well during his first run on RAW, but for the most part, first feuds are easy; creative introduces a […]

When Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley attacked Rey Mysterio on Thanksgiving in front of Mrs. Mysterio, and the Mysterio-ettes, it took the WWE Universe by storm. Millions watched the incident transpire from their dining room tables, couches, or bathrooms alike, and through it all, one question rose above all others: why did Mysterio and Ripley […]

After trying to get A.J. Styles to turn to the dark side of the Heel-Babyface paradigm for weeks, Finn Balor finally got a chance to face off against his fellow former Bullet Club leader at a WWE “Premium Live Event” and needless to say, the match was great. Sandwiched between a firey female WarGames match […]

Thanksgiving is a day to get together, grab some food, and celebrate family, but what if you think your father is a no-good, deadbeat piece of you-know-what? Well, if you’re Dominik Mysterio and your father is Rey Mysterio, you bring your new female friend to dinner whether you’re invited or not – plus a WWE […]

While his father was giving a heartfelt introduction to the 30th anniversary running of Lucha Libre AAA’s TripleMania, Dominik Mysterio decided to call up the WWE camera crew – or at least someone in the media department – to send a message to his dear old dad about jumping from RAW to SmackDown after his […]

After having to keep the peace while his DX buddies Shawn Michaels, Road Dogg, and X-Pac ran wild around the RAW backstage area, Paul “Triple H” Levesque was likely expecting to have a quiet night at the office, if you will, when WWE brought the show to New Orleans for a special running of SmackDown. […]

Rey Mysterio is having a tough time in the WWE Universe. His friendship with Edge has hit a snag since his son, Dominik Mysterio, turned on the “Rated R Superstar” at Clash at the Castle, his goings on are constantly being messed with by Judgement Day, and his home life can’t be all that great […]

After finally, officially turning his back on his father Rey and Edge at Clash at the Castle, Dominik Mysterio has made his intentions clear on the fallout episode of RAW: Dom has officially thrown his hat in with Judgement Day to fully come into his own in the WWE Universe freed from his father’s long, […]

Heading into WWE’s Clash at the Castle, the ream of Edge and Rey Mysterio had almost nothing to lose. There were no championship belts on the line, the match was expected to have little effect on either performer’s legacy, and both will forever find themselves enshrined in the Hall of Fame regardless of how they […]

WWE’s Rey and Dominik Mysterio go back a long way… literally. For one thing, Mysterio has known Dom since the day he was born, and I have it on good authority that he’s good friends with the young luchador’s mother too. From their initial run-ins together in WWE all the way back in 2003, to […]

If there’s one thing Rey Mysterio knows a thing or two about more than, well, pretty much anybody on earth, it’s being a good luchador. Yes he’s small, yes his booking matters more than most in the eyes of some “traditional” fans, but for 33 years and counting, there hasn’t been a performer in WWE, […]

When a certain vignette started airing on WWE television, first at Money in the Bank and then on basically every single media channel the Billion Dollar Brand has at their disposal, it felt like only a matter of time before Edge made his way back into the ring. Though the video didn’t explicitly announce the […]

20 years ago, Rey Mysterio made his debut in the WWE, defeating Chavo Guerrero on an episode of SmackDown. Dropping the Jr. from his moniker but regaining the mask he ditched at the end of his tenure in WCW, Mysterio rapidly became a fan favorite with WWE fans who weren’t typically used to seeing his […]

After the “Cena Celebration” live from Laredo, Texas was a responding success, it’s only right that the WWE Universe returns to the idea again to celebrate another one of the promotion’s longest-tenured stars in Rey Mysterio in a celebration of his own, broadcast live from the wrestling mecca, Madison Square Garden on July 25th. NEXT […]

When Dominik and Rey Mysterio took the ring for their Fourth of July match on RAW, it was a special WWE moment. No, not because of their opponents, as the Mysterios have tussled with the men of Judgement Day before, but because the match was taking place in San Diego, the city the duo are […]
