Rey Mysterio’s career might well be winding down, and his son Dominik is looking to be the man to end it.
The two men have been at odds since Clash At The Castle when Dominik turned his back on his father by hitting him with a devastating low blow. The betrayal saw Dominik join forces with Judgment Day and Rhea Ripley.
Dominik and Ripley then set about making Rey’s life as miserable as possible. They turned up at his home on Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and even ran into them on Valentine’s Day. Things got so bad that Rey asked to be sent to SmackDown away from his son, but the move provided little respite.
In recent weeks Dominik has ramped up the heat and tried to provoke Rey into hitting him. But every single time Rey resists and refuses to fight his own flesh and blood. However, on the March 13th episode of Raw, Dominik finally laid down his WrestleMania challenge. But once again, Rey resisted saying that he won’t fight him before leaving.
