Dominik Mysterio has been the talk of the town since he has turned heel and is among the most-watched superstars on the road to Wrestlemania 39. The former Smackdown Tag Team Champion is hell-bent on facing his father, Rey Mysterio, at the Show of the Shows. But Rey isn't keen on facing Dominik and the match hasn't been confirmed yet.

Dominik first made a WWE appearance in 2005 as a kid and returned to the screen in 2019. He made his in-ring debut against Seth Rollins at SummerSlam 2020 and has been a regular on TV since then. There are many superstars who have portrayed the role of father and son in WWE. So is the relation between Dominik and Rey a real one or is part of a storyline?

Dominik is the real son of Rey Mysterio. WWE first acknowledged this almost two decades back when Dominik was part of the storyline which also involved the late Eddie Guerrero. Unlike many other superstars, Dominik was fast-tracked to the main roster and he didn't have to perform in NXT.

Dominik was a babyface after his debut in 2020 till Clash at the Castle 2022. He finally turned heel at the UK event and has been part of the Judgement Day since then. Dominik etched his name in history books when he won the Smackdown Tag Team Championship with his father.

Rey and Dominik are the only father-son duo who have won the Tag Team Championship in WWE. Dominik has been challenging his father to a match at Wrestlemania 39 but the WWE Hall of Famer isn't accepting his son's challenge. Their match looks set to take place at the Show of the Shows.

How Dominik is related to Eddie Guerrero?

In 2005, WWE came up with an out-of-the-box storyline when Eddie claimed that he is the father of Dominik Mysterio. Rey Mysterio had to win Dominik's custody by defeating Eddie in a Ladder match at SummerSlam 2005.

Rey and Eddie were childhood friends and they played their roles brilliantly. In real life, Eddie was Dominik's uncle.
