Dominik Mysterio has said that he would love to take on the Rey Mysterio mantle in the future. The most WWE way of passing this torch would be booking a match between these two. Though the 24-year-old is not sure that he wants to trade blows with his father despite their disagreements. He instead has an alternate scenario in his mind for the change to take place.
Dominik recently had an interview with Sportskeeda. When asked about a potential match with his father, the Raw star said he wouldn’t want to get in the ring with him:
“Personally, I would not like to get in the ring with my dad. Just because I think there’s so much more that we can still do. But you know, what you’re seeing on TV is how we argue and how we fight and how we bump heads, man, that’s 100% us.
The younger Mysterio continued his explanation saying that while their arguments get frustrating at times, he also understands where his father is coming from. He said that Rey wants to help him out and he doesn’t know if he sees himself jumping in the ring and trading blows with him.
Dominik Mysterio Says Passing The Torch Could Be A WrestleMania Moment
While a potential match is out of sight, Dominik still has the goal of continuing the family legacy. He mentioned how there is no Rey Mysterio Jr. right now. Discussing an alternative scenario for this to happen, the former champion suggested the idea of Rey picking someone for him to beat:
“Traditionally, you know as a son they would have given me the Rey Mysterio Jr. since he’s Rey Mysterio. I think [it’s a] WrestleMania moment: [Rey Mysterio picks someone impossible for Dominik to beat.] Somehow, we make it work and he ends up passing the torch over to me with the mask and the name. That’s a dream for me.”
Both Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio were picked by Raw during night 1 of WWE Draft. After Rey Mysterio lost his first-round King Of The Ring match against Sami Zayn, we will have to see if either of them get something to do at Crown Jewel.
