Did Dominik Mysterio disown Rey Mysterio as his father? The truth disclosed

Dominik Mysterio will be hanging above the ring inside a shark cage during the Liv Morgan vs. Rhea Ripley match tonight at WWE Bad Blood. The 27-year-old is not a fan of the situation, and as per The Eradicator, he is rather claustrophobic. Many believe he might deserve this after what he did to the former Women's World Champion at SummerSlam. However, his ruthlessness isn't limited to Ripley but extends to his father, Rey Mysterio, as well.

Dirty Dom's heel turn started when he attacked Rey Mysterio at Clash at the Castle in September 2022. Since then, his rivalry with his father has continued, with him taking several verbal jabs at the WWE Hall of Famer. The former NXT North American Champion also attacked his father multiple times and even questioned if Rey was his real father.

Dominik's appearance and heel work are often compared with Eddie Guerrero. Speaking on Logan Paul's ImPaulsive podcast in August, Dominik Mysterio questioned whether Rey Mysterio was his biological father or not.

"I mean, I don't know if I identify as Eddie Guerrero being my father, but he definitely had a huge influence. I question it for sure, I mean, I question my mother at this point. Because I don't know what's happening in the '90s, you know? And apparently, my dad was gone all the time."

Well, at first glance, it may seem that Mysterio has disowned his father, but that is not the case. Dominik Mysterio maintained some aspects of his on-screen persona during the podcast and thus questioned his lineage.

The rivalry between The Judgment Day member and his father is completely on-screen and isn't a reflection of their real-life relationship.

Rey Mysterio breaks on-screen persona on social media for Dominik Mysterio

As mentioned, what fans see on-screen isn't the real-life situation. A good example of this is the upcoming WWE Bad Blood match for the Women's World Championship and how Rey Mysterio reacted to it.

Liv Morgan took to social media to make an emotional post about her on-screen boyfriend Dominik Mysterio being suspended from a shark cage. The post received several reactions, and one of them was Rey Mysterio, who reacted positively to it.

It's only a matter of time before fans understand why WWE used the Shark Cage stipulation for Liv Morgan vs. Rhea Ripley. Popular speculations suggest that Dirty Dom will find a way to get out of the cage and assist Morgan in picking up the victory.
