A new report has revealed that Rey Mysterio was recently told that WWE planned to split him and Dominik, and let his son wrestle as a solo act.
A Mysterios split has been teased for months, with reports stating that the father-son duo will begin feuding emerging in late 2021.
Per Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Rey was informed of WWE’s plans to make Dominik a singles star while he was off getting stem cell therapy.
Meltzer said:
“There’s been a lot of talk of splitting them up for like months…even when Aalyah was around, when they were doing the tension between Rey and Dominik all the time and then they just dropped the ball every single time and they would forget about it and everything. They probably set up the split like 3 or 4 times.
“I know that they were told this time when Rey took the time off to get stem cell (therapy) and they did the injury angle with Dominik that ‘you know, we’re gonna have Dominik go on his own,’ which they have said before that they were gonna do that. But the problem is that Dominik on his own is gonna be dead. Rey will always be over because he’s Rey Mysterio but I don’t know that they will ever really do anything with him because between the size and the age.”
The duo returned on Monday’s (May 16) edition of WWE Raw, saving Mustafa Ali from a beatdown at the hands of Veer Mahaan.
