The on-screen rivalry between Dominik Mysterio and his father, Rey Mysterio, has been one of WWE’s most intense family feuds in recent years. The Judgment Day member has gone to great lengths to paint his father as a “deadbeat dad,” and their storyline has captivated fans worldwide. However, in a recent real-life sighting, the father-son duo seemed anything but enemies.
Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio Caught Traveling Together
Despite their intense WWE storyline, Dominik and Rey Mysterio were recently spotted traveling together outside the squared circle. What made this sighting even more intriguing was that Rey Mysterio was seen without his signature mask—a rare moment for the WWE Hall of Famer, who has built his entire legacy around his masked persona.
An Instagram user, Niko Exxtra, shared an image of the two queuing up for a flight, possibly after the latest episode of WWE RAW in Cleveland. The post humorously speculated on how hard it must have been for “Dirty Dom” to stay in character while sitting next to his father:
“It must have been hard for Dirty Dom to contain himself when he realized Rey Mysterio was also on his flight and sitting next to him!”
A Glimpse into Their Real-Life Relationship
While their WWE rivalry suggests nothing but hatred between them, this rare public moment hints at a different reality. It’s clear that, despite their on-screen battles, Rey and Dominik share a strong real-life bond. Fans were quick to speculate on whether this sighting could mean something bigger—perhaps a future WWE reunion?
The History of Their WWE Feud
Dominik Mysterio shocked the wrestling world when he betrayed his father at Clash at the Castle in September 2022. Turning against the man who introduced him to the business, Dominik aligned himself with The Judgment Day, claiming Rey had been an absentee father.
Since then, their feud has only intensified, with the younger Mysterio consistently taunting and humiliating his father. His most recent victory over Rey came in July 2023, when he and Liv Morgan defeated Rey Mysterio and Zelina Vega in a mixed-tag team match.
But what will it take for Dominik to forgive his father?
Dominik Mysterio Sets a Condition for Reconciliation
In a Sportskeeda Wrestling exclusive interview, Dominik Mysterio was asked what it would take for him to forgive Rey and mend their relationship. His response? Nothing short of absolute submission:
“I have said it—if he wants to get on his knees and apologize, remove his mask, and declare me as the greatest Mysterio of all time, then sure, I will gladly accept his apology. But until then, I don’t have a reason to.”
This bold statement shows that, at least on television, Dominik has no interest in making amends.
Will Rey and Dominik Ever Reunite in WWE?
Despite their heated rivalry, Rey and Dominik Mysterio remain the only father-son duo to have won the WWE Tag Team Championships together. Their chemistry as a team before Dominik’s betrayal was undeniable.
Could this real-life airport sighting be a sign of things to come? While WWE thrives on long-term storytelling, fans can’t help but wonder if we might see a dramatic father-son reunion in the near future.
