Rey Mysterio returns, faces off with Dominik on WWE Raw
Rey Mysterio is back, and has had enough of his son’s actions.
The former World Champion officially returned on Monday’s Raw, confronting his son Dominik who was in the ring. Mysterio took issue with the idea that Dominik considers himself the greatest luchador of all time, mentioning names like El Santo, Blue Demon, and Eddie Guerrero. Dominik said that he’s better than all of them, and is better than his father. Mysterio told Dominik he wanted to make things clear: as long as he’s around Dominik is not the best luchador, this will never be his ring, and is not the best Mysterio.
Dominik started to walk away but went in for a cheap shot. Mysterio countered by going in on the attack, hitting a 619. He went to do a top rope splash but Dominik was able to escape, ending the segment.
Mysterio sustained a groin injury on the final SmackDown prior to WrestleMania 41. In the time since then, he has made appearances on AAA programming in a non-wrestling role. When Dominik won the AAA Mega Championship, he put the championship around his son’s waist, following through on a bet he made with his son earlier in the night.
