Dominik Mysterio has been tremendous on Monday Night RAW lately. His betrayal of his father and alliance with The Judgment Day has unlocked a new side of him, one that is growing more confident by the day. With the likes of Finn Balor, Damian Priest, and Rhea Ripley backing him up, his future looks bright.
Dom was born to be a wrestler, being the son of wrestling legend Rey Mysterio. Indeed, his father introduced him to pro wrestling when he was very young. Given how much he must have seen Mysterio and his colleagues during his childhood, there's no doubt it must have inspired him.
The youngster's first WWE appearance is well-remembered by fans but is a distant memory in terms of when it happened. If you are among those who forgot when it took place, read on to find out your answer.

Dominik Mysterio first appeared in WWE to see his father perform. He was famously in the audience on the June 5, 2003, episode of SmackDown, when Rey Mysterio defeated Matt Hardy to win the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. The young boy and his father celebrated in the ring as the show wrapped up.
WWE brought Dominik in for his first storyline in 2005. This was the much-acclaimed feud between Rey and Eddie Guerrero, in which they fought over custody of the boy. They settled it in a ladder match at SummerSlam, where the masked luchador was victorious.
Dominik Mysterio reveals his motive behind being a traitor
Dominik Mysterio used to be one of the most likable superstars in all of WWE. However, that did a sharp 180 since his heel turn and alliance with The Judgment Day. His obsession with making his father's life miserable has made him one of the most despicable heels on the main roster.
Dominik and Rhea Ripley recently went to Rey Mysterio's house on Thanksgiving and attacked him in front of his wife. The smug youngster revealed that he did it so that he could always be above his father.
“Because he had his Christmas tree up before November was over, and honestly, he doesn’t deserve to just be living peacefully. I had to live with his shadow my whole life. So I’m hoping to cast a big shadow over him and just keep torturing him as much as I can.”
Dominik Mysterio has been doing bits as part of Judgment Day. It is only a matter of time before he wins a singles championship in WWE. We can't wait to see what the future holds for him.
