#5 To make Rey Mysterio and Dominik the first-ever father-son tag team champions in WWE history
The story behind this entire match was whether Rey and Dominik Mysterio could become the first father-son duo to win the tag team titles in WWE. That's exactly what happened at WrestleMania Backlash with The Mysterios winning the titles from Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode.
There have been multiple father-son storylines in WWE history but it's not often that we see a father-son duo compete together in the WWE ring. It was all made possible due to Rey Mysterio still being in a great physical shape to compete, even at the age of 46.
Ever since Dominik Mysterio made his WWE debut in 2019, this was always on the cards and fans were waiting to see the two compete together and capture tag team gold. With this finally happening at WrestleMania Backlash tonight, the WWE Universe will surely hear the company repeat the fact that Rey Mysterio and Dominik are the first father-son tag team champions in WWE history many times in the coming weeks.
