WATCH: 6-Year-Old Footage Reveals Dominik Mysterio Causing Havoc Between TwoFormer World Champions

Publish date: 2024-04-13

As the son of a WWE legend, Dominik Mysterio was exposed to the sport pretty early on in his life. Three years before his first WWE appearance, Dirty Dom had already been introduced to the wrestling world. At this time, he was merely 20 years old, causing chaos during his father’s match.

All of this happened during a Lucha Underground Championship match where Rey Mysterio was the challenger. Since his relationship with his father was good back in the day, the chaos that he orchestrated was to help out his old man.

Dominik Mysterio’s first-ever wrestling appearance

Even before WWE, Mysterio first showed up in the arena to interrupt his father’s match in Lucha Underground. After challenging the reigning champion of the time, Mysterio found himself in the middle of a losing match, lying powerless inside the ring. This is when Johnny Mundo decided to flaunt his Lucha Underground Championship at the WWE legend.

The then 20-year-old Dominik took the opportunity to grab Mundo’s championship belt to distract him. The young wrestler then stepped inside the ring and countered an incoming attack from the champion. After enough chaos was caused, Dom left the scene, getting chased down by the security.

This was also the time when young Mysterio had started training to get into the sport more prominently. As Rey Mysterio revealed, the opportunity revealed itself shortly after, thanks to the training that “Dirty Dom” had started taking.

Dominik Mysterio took the first opportunity he received from WWE

In 2020, Rey was trying to get his son to enroll in the promotion. In an interview, a couple of years ago, the luchador revealed that his son’s WWE journey started when they were trying to negotiate the terms of enrolment with the Stamford-based company. There was still a year left in the planned training of Dominik Mysterio, according to his father. So, naturally, he wanted to sign him into a ‘developmental deal’ with the company. But the plan changed at the last minute.

The original plan was to see the heel wrestler get on the main roster in 2021. However, the opportunity presented itself in 2020 itself. Rey trusted his son on the decision, leading him to become a growing star in the company.
