5 WWE backstage stories we learned this week: The Rock made RAW star cry, Jinder Mahal injury update

#2 Rey Mysterio’s son to start training at the Performance Center

Rey Mysterio’s son Dominik has appeared sporadically on WWE programming throughout 2019, with his first meaningful storyline coming during the summer when he convinced his father to continue wrestling.

In recent weeks, Dominik has not been on television due to the vicious assault he suffered at the hands of Brock Lesnar on the September 30 episode of RAW, while Mysterio introduced former UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez – Dominik’s godfather – to WWE as revenge for Lesnar’s actions.

Speaking to Spanish publication Marca this week, Mysterio revealed that Dominik will begin training at the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida in 2020 to learn WWE’s style of wrestling.

"He will start training at the Orlando Performance Center next year to learn the style of the company and then we’ll see. He’s been preparing for more than two years now and the truth is that he has learned quickly. You can tell he has it in his blood. I am delighted to be able to share a ring with him before retiring."

It is unknown whether Dominik will go through the NXT developmental system before competing on RAW and SmackDown, but it seems unlikely when you take into account the number of times he has already appeared on RAW this year.
