He said that his injuries were preventing him from wrestling in the same manner as he once did and thus he was questioning whether the time had come to hang up his boots.
He said that the time had come to hang up his mask and was doing the unthinkable by unmasking on live television. However, he was interrupted by Dominick.
Dominick told him that when Rey had debuted, he had done so alongside his own father. He said that Rey had promised to be there when Dominick made his debut and asked him if he could not retire.
Rey broke down but agreed to stay and not retire so that he could be there with Dominick when Rey's son makes his debut.
Rey Mysterio's son Dominick in WWE
WWE has long been working towards helping Rey Mysterio's son to debut in wrestling. It appeared multiple times that he would, but in the end, the debut was pushed back for some reason or the other.
During Mysterio's feud with Samoa Joe, Dominick came out to help his father and escort him back, but he did not make his debut there.
Dominick was first seen in WWE when he was a child. Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio had a ladder match where they battled for his custody, as Eddie had been claiming that Dominick was his kayfabe son.
It appears that WWE is finally making the moves on helping Dominick to debut. It will be interesting to see how they go about it.
Rey Mysterio is currently in a feud with Andrade, where the Superstar tried to unmask him on live television. It seems likely, Dominick's debut might have something to do with Andrade.
