Rey Mysterio probably wouldn’t have been eager to win the 2005 custody of Dominik ladder match had he known what his son would grow up to be.
The SummerSlam 2005 bout saw Mysterio defeat Eddie Guerrero to win custody of Dominik after Eddie had revealed himself to be Dom’s biological father earlier in the year.
In a recent appearance on the “BWGS Pod,” Mysterio was asked about the match and revealed that in hindsight, he would’ve let Eddie get the victory. He said,
“That’s a very good question that I have never been asked and now that I think about it… I wouldn’t have even had that match. I would have told Eddie, keep him. Keep him. I don’t want to risk my body. Because that was brutal. The way Dominik turned out after that. But I also asked myself, what would have happened if Eddie would still be here?
“Like that, this whole story that has been created. It must be I think he watches a lot of his stuff and somehow there’s some sort of internal connection and I wouldn’t doubt it that Eddie’s giving him pointers from the heavens.”
Dominik would turn on his father at WWE Clash At The Castle 2022. Rey would defeat Dominik at WrestleMania 39 and would beat him in tag team action at WrestleMania 40.
