Rey and Dominik Mysterio appear at major non-WWE event, but there’s a twist
Dominik Mysterio and WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio clearly cannot stand each other. They are arch-rivals on TV and decided to stay in character when they marked their appearance at UFC 306.
The Dominik Mysterio-Rey Mysterio saga will probably never end. With Rey being one of the most natural babyfaces in the industry and 'Dirty' Dom being one of the most despised heels of the modern era, they are consistently on a collision course on RAW.
The father-son duo was recently spotted at UFC 306, where they were sitting far away from each other. Rey was also seen wearing the Noche UFC mask, celebrating Mexican Independence Day with Ultimate Fighting Championship.
WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio feels his son Dominik is gifted
Dominik Mysterio has impressed viewers with his performances as one of WWE's top villains. Fans often loudly boo the star, making his character more intriguing and exciting.
During a recent appearance on the Notsam Wrestling podcast, Rey Mysterio addressed his son's talent in and out of the ring. The WWE Hall of Famer said 'Dirty' Dom was really gifted. While both men have been bitter foes on TV for the past couple of years, The Master of the 619 knows how much hard work Dominik has been putting into becoming one of the biggest heels in the industry.
“Dom and I were rehearsing some moves that we wanted to practice for that pay-per-view. Dom did this dive where he jumped on the second and was going to do like a crossbody to the opposite side. He had planned that dive and I told him, ‘I bet you won’t do it into a twister.’ And he didn’t pay attention to me. But when he jumped to bounce off the rope and do the crossbody, he actually turned it mid-air and I was like, ‘Oh.’ Right then and there, I knew that there was something inside of him that I couldn’t explain. He just had a gift." [H/T: WrestlingInc.]
The Judgment Day and LWO's feud has brought the father-son duo face-to-face quite often on WWE TV lately. Rey and Dominik having another match in the next few weeks, thanks to the incredible rivalry between both factions, won't be a surprise.
