Heading into Backlash, Rhea Ripley knew she was going to be the heel in her match with Zelina Vega. Not only is Mami aligned as a heel regularly, as  The Judgement Day are bad to the bone, but she was facing off against a hometown hero in Vega, who considered the event to be her […]

Dominik Mysterio is one of the most polarizing performers in the WWE. To some, he’s an insanely compelling performer who can turn a crowd nuclear with a snap of his fingers and a compelling manager for Rhea Ripley who is willing to make himself look ridiculous in order to get a massive pop. And to […]

After watching Xavier Woods lose his debut match on RAW to Dominik Mysterio of The Judgement Day, Cathy Kelley attempted to catch up with the New Day member to ask him about the match for a WWE digital exclusive segment. Unfortunately, Woods didn’t want to talk about his poor showing… before talking about it a […]

When Dominik Mysterio took the ring on the go-home edition of RAW before Backlash, he was booed to a degree that would make MJF blush. Standing alongside his best friends The Judgement Day, Damian Priest, Finn Balor, and Rhea Ripley, Mysterio attempted to talk some smack on the lWo ahead of Backlash, but his efforts […]

Though they don’t talk, walk, wrestle, or act in even remotely similar ways, the heel-ish heat MJF and Dominik Mysterio draw from both live audiences and online fans have created a bit of an unofficial rivalry between fans of AEW and WWE, with each side going to bat for their company guy. WWE fans believe […]

When Rey Mysterio gave Santos Escobar one of his masks and even personalized it with an inscription on the side, it signified a pretty important moment of respect from one of the best luchadors in the game today and one of the best who ever did it. This act of kindness effectively turned Escobar and […]

Before Dominik Mysterio made his grand entrance at WrestleMania 39, wheeled out to the ring at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, in a paddy wagon with a quartet of “police officers” serving as his escort, WWE played a promo package featuring prison footage in order to play up the “Prison Dom” moniker. On paper, that […]

After turning in one of the best WrestleMania weekends since the show went to two days in 2020, Vince McMahon sent the WWE Universe into complete disarray by effectively retaking his creative role away from his son-in-law, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, and putting together one of the worst RAW episodes in the shows 30-year history, […]

After taking a thorough whooping from his father at WrestleMania 39, you would think Dominik Mysterio would take some time to rest, relax, and plot his next move against the newest WWE Hall of Famer, Rey Mysterio, right? … well, considering the younger Mysterio played into the finish of his father’s match on the RAW […]

To call WrestleMania 39 anything other than a resounding success for Rhea Ripley would be a lie. Though the rest of her Judgement Day pals came up short, with Dominik Mysterio losing to Rey Mysterio earlier in Day 1 and “The Demon” Finn Balor dropping a stunner in the penultimate match of Day 2, Ripley […]

Well folks, you really have to give it to Dominik and Rey Mysterio; they certainly know how to make an entrance at WrestleMania. Traveling to the ring in a similar fashion, with a masked Dom arriving in a paddy wagon and Rey lowriding in style alongside the ultimate Los Angeleno, Snoop Dogg, the Mysterios both […]

After finally laying hands on his son after literally months of relentless harassment, Rey Mysterio is ready to teach Dominik Mysterio a lesson about respect, about family, and about what it really means to be a WWE Superstar at WrestleMania 39, when the duo will finally throw hands at “The Showcase of the Immortals.” So, […]

After finally turning on his son Dominik Mysterio on SmackDown following his decision to turn his ire on Angie and Aliyah Mysterio, Rey Mysterio took the ring on RAW against Damian Priest with one thing and one thing alone on his mind: teaching Dom a lesson. Unfortunately, Mysterio didn’t get to secure a definitive win, […]

After what felt like a lifetime of will they, won’t they, Rey Mysterio finally put his future into his own hands by knocking his son to the ground with a well-placed fist to the face. Needless to say, the prospect of watching Mysterio fight Mysterio for the first time ever at WrestleMania 39 is about […]

After taking care of business on the penultimate edition of SmackDown in a match against LA Knight, Rey Mysterio found himself in a familiar spot, with his son, Dominik Mysterio, coming out to call him a poor father, accusing him of being a deadbeat, and demanding a match at WrestleMania 39. As per usual, the […]

Though he’s technically still an active wrestler in WWE and may even have a very high-profile match at WrestleMania 39 – more on that later – Rey Mysterio has officially been announced as the first member of the 2023 Hall of Fame Class. That’s right, while some other names have already been rumored for the […]

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 […]
