Recently, we saw a new NXT North American Champion be crowned when Dominik Mysterio defeated Wes Lee. It required heavy interference from The Judgement Day, with Rhea Ripley essential in this victory.
This marks the first time that Mysterio has been a singles champion in WWE, and despite their feud – his father, WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio is proud of his son.
Rey Mysterio Would Gladly Take The NXT North American Championship For Himself
While appearing on this week’s episode of The Bump, Rey Mysterio would speak about his son’s championship victory with fellow dad Titus O’Neil. Mysterio had the following to say, including a warning.
“Titus, you’re a father, and you know how it is. Sometimes, when you fight with your kids, or your kids do the wrong things, and you gotta put them in place. That’s happened for the past year with Dom and myself, and not just myself but my wife as well. Despite the issues that we might have in our family, you can’t even imagine the amount of pride and joy that I feel every time he accomplishes something. That still doesn’t take away the fact that he’s disrespected his whole family, and I’m hoping that one day, that will all change.
The fact that he’s succeeding and becoming his own person, he’s already his own person. You don’t know how many times I would have loved to call him up and say, ‘Congratulations, son, you’re really killing it.’ But it hurts. Unfortunately, I can’t do it, and that really hurts. I wish things would be different. But as a father, despite our differences. I’m extremely proud of what he’s doing and what he’s conquering. He just better not step in the ring with me because I will take that North American Title.”
When Rey faced Dominik at WrestleMania 39, he was able to defeat his son. They are currently separated by brand, with Dominik on Monday Night RAW & Rey on Smackdown Live.
Could we see Rey vs. Dominik II later this year? Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
