Rey Mysterio Reveals AEW Star Trained Dominik Mysterio

WWE

Dominik Mysterio is now a permanent fixture on WWE Raw, and according to Rey Mysterio, a current AEW star can be thanked for helping to train his son.

In an interview with FOX Digital, Rey Mysterio explained how it’s been “very special” to be able to wrestle alongside his son, who apparently didn’t show an interest in becoming a WWE star until a few years ago.

Rey said:

“I never thought this moment would happen because my son never really showed interest until the age of 19. We did the storyline with him, Eddie and myself back in 2005 and I just never realised that after that storyline that he would kind of have some interest and start training because he never did. He always played football. The interest that he started to show was, again, at the age of 19. His career developed so fast.”

Rey then revealed Dominik had been trained in part by current AEW star Jay Lethal.

“Moving to Tampa, training there with Jay Lethal and eventually going up to a camp with Lance Storm and just everything happened so far. Next thing you know, he was having a debut match at SummerSlam against Seth Rollins.”

He would go on to explain just how much wrestling alongside Dominik means to him.

“The past two years that he’s been wrestling, I’ve enjoyed so much – the time sharing with him in the ring. It’s a different type of enjoyment. Now, it’s like I’ve done everything I could possibly do, plus more. I just never imagined that I would have such a long and illustrious career but now, to be able to share some of my most incredible moments with my son, wrestling next to him is very special.”

WWE appears to be building towards a feud between Rey and Dominik Mysterio in the near future, so we’ll have to see whether Rey also likes punching his child in the face.
