Dominik Mysterio: From Rey’s Son to WWE’s Most Hated Villain

Dominik Mysterio’s WWE career has transformed dramatically since his shocking heel turn at Clash at the Castle 2022. Once viewed as Rey Mysterio’s promising son, “Dirty Dom” has become one of WWE’s most despised villains—embracing a ruthless edge, a Guerrero-like swagger, and a willingness to betray anyone, including his own father. Dominik’s connection to Eddie Guerrero has only intensified. From the 2005 custody storyline to his modern-day persona, fans see Eddie’s influence everywhere—his look, attitude, charisma, and even his partnerships with Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan, echoing Eddie and Chyna’s iconic run. As Chavo Guerrero recently said, “Dominik always wanted to be a Guerrero.”
