In an interview with OutKick, Rey Mysterio responded to Dominik Mysterio after his son said he should be the one to retire him and take his mask.
The WWE Hall of Famer said maybe he shouldn’t have helped Dominik break into pro wrestling, suggesting his son should have earned his spot on his own — the same way Rey did when he got into the business at 14.
“That’s pretty deep for him to say that,” Mysterio said. “At the end of the day, I believe I have much more tricks up my sleeve than he does. If he thinks he’s going to step all over me, retire me, take my name and have me apologize to him for what apparently I have done, maybe I shouldn’t have helped him break into the business.
“Maybe he should have grinded on his own and scratched and clawed just like I did at the age of 14 when I first broke into the business, which was really tough back then. Now, it’s much easier to get into the business. It’s not like before. I would love and wait to see that day come to fruition. I would love to step into the ring with Dom and put something on the line. Something that means much more than just a mask.”
Rey didn’t rule out another match against Dominik. He was open to putting something on the line and teased a stipulation worth even more than his mask, but didn’t reveal what it was.
The back-and-forth came during TripleManía 34’s two-night run. On the first night, September 11, Dominik accompanied Omos to a win over Rey — a result that earned Omos a spot back on the AAA roster.
Two days later, Rey showed up as the replacement referee for the AAA Mega Championship match between Dominik and El Grande Americano. He counted the pin that gave Americano the win and ended Dominik’s title reign.
