For more than 20 years now, Dominik Mysterio has been associated with WWE. Although he started wrestling as a full-time performer in 2020, his first interaction with the product was decades ago. Recently, The Judgment Day member revealed that one particularly iconic match from that time still leaves him confused.

The match in question took place at SummerSlam way back in 2005. At the event, Dominik Mysterio's father, Rey Mysterio, took on Eddie Guerrero in a Ladder Match for the right to keep custody of Dirty Dom.

Recently, the former North American Champion was in India and made an appearance on the Untriggered podcast. There, he was asked about the match, and the 28-year-old revealed that he was still a bit confused, especially concerning the resemblances in terms of mannerisms between him and Eddie Guerrero.

"At the end of the day, it was a bit confusing with the whole Eddie and you know, my "deadbeat" dad, especially now. There's, like, some scary resemblances. Like, I don't do them on purpose," Dominik Mysterio claimed. [09:31-09:45]

Dominik Mysterio will challenge for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 41

The past is in the past for Dominik, and now he must look to the future. After all, WrestleMania 41 is around the corner, and he has a huge match ahead of him.

Not only will Dirty Dom be performing on The Grandest Stage of Them All, but he will also be competing for the Intercontinental Championship. Mysterio will face reigning champion Bron Breakker, Penta, whom he tried to recruit, and his Judgment Day stablemate, Finn Balor, in a Fatal Four-Way Match in Vegas.

Who will come out on top? Will Balor and Mysterio work together? Will The Judgment Day interfere? All these questions and more will be answered in Las Vegas later this month.
