Fresh off his Intercontinental Championship victory at WrestleMania 41, Dominik Mysterio appeared on Busted Open Radio and boldly declared he has already surpassed his legendary father, Rey Mysterio. Continuing his antagonistic stance towards his family, Dominik questioned his father’s career trajectory compared to his own rapid ascent in WWE. “How long did it take pops to win a single title that wasn’t the Cruiserweight in WWE?” Dominik asked rhetorically. “How long did it take him? I don’t… you have to Google it. You gotta google it because people don’t know people don’t know that, at least.”
Setting up the comparison, Mysterio laid out his own accomplishments. “And it took me, so year one, I was already a tag champ. Year three, I was the singles champ down at NXT,” he detailed. “Year four, I already surpassed him as the greatest mysterious [Mysterio] of all time, winning the Intercontinental Championship at Wrestlemania.” He pointedly added, “How long did it take that man to get a WrestleMania moment? Just saying, speaking facts.”
This claim ties into actions immediately following his WrestleMania win, where Dominik admitted to intentionally shoving his newly won title in his mother’s face after spotting her in the crowd during a second, unexpected celebration lap. “I did one long glance, and out of the corner of my eye I saw my mom, and the only thing I did was shove the title directly in her face. Because I’m pretty sure none of them thought I could do it either.”
Dominik was asked if it was meant as an “FU.” He said, “It totally does.”
