Some of WWE’s most iconic rivalries stem from relationships forged in friendship or family. One such ongoing storyline features WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio and his son, Dominik Mysterio. The father-son duo has been locked in a fierce feud for quite some time, battling each other on two memorable occasions at WrestleMania. Rey emerged victorious in both matches: one a singles showdown and the other a tag team clash.
Despite their on-screen animosity, Rey recently opened up about his unique rivalry with Dominik during an interview on Peter Rosenberg’s Cheap Heat podcast. He discussed their past matches and even entertained the idea of stepping into the ring with his son once more.
A Father-Son Feud That Transcends Wrestling
Reflecting on the emotional nature of their storyline, Rey acknowledged the tension that comes with family conflicts. “When a father fights with their son or daughter, or a family member fights with another, that’s something deeper—it’s family. That connection always remains, no matter what,” Rey said.
While Rey has bested Dominik twice on WWE’s grandest stage, he remains open to the possibility of another clash between the two. “If the situation calls for it and we cross paths again, I’m ready. Let’s do it,” he said, signaling that the door is always open for another chapter in their heated rivalry.
Dreaming of a Mysterio Reunion
Though Rey is prepared for another battle, his ultimate hope is to reconcile with his son and perhaps even share a tag team run in WWE once more. The veteran wrestler spoke about how meaningful it would be to reconnect with Dominik and bring their story full circle.
“As a father, there’s always a dream of reuniting with your kids—of starting fresh and ending on good terms,” Rey said. “I don’t know if that will ever happen, but it’s something I’d love. I hope that one day Dom can see the value of family and the bright side of being part of the Mysterios.”
While Rey’s hope for a family reunion remains strong, he admits it may be a long shot given the current trajectory of their storyline. “People change over time, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. I’m dreaming, I know, but maybe one day,” he added wistfully.
The Impact of the Mysterio Feud
The feud between Rey and Dominik Mysterio has captivated WWE fans, blending real-life family dynamics with compelling storytelling. Dominik’s transformation into a villainous character under the Judgment Day faction has added depth to the rivalry, making Rey’s victories over his son even more significant.
While their future as rivals—or allies—remains uncertain, the Mysterio family feud has become one of the most talked-about narratives in WWE. Whether they collide for another epic showdown or reconcile as a tag team, one thing is certain: the story of the Mysterios continues to be a highlight of WWE programming.
For now, fans can only speculate about what’s next for Rey and Dominik Mysterio. Will they find their way back to each other, or will the family feud intensify even further? Only time—and WWE’s creative direction—will tell.
