They both faced each other in a one-on-one match at WrestleMania 39, where Rey won the match. Despites their in-ring rivalry in WWE, they both remain friends and maintain a healthy father and son relationship outside the wrestling world.
Rey Mysterio expresses his hopes for Dominik
On the latest Smackdown episode Rey Mysterio was seen in a backstage interview segment. On the segment Rey was asked about Dominik and he said, “Deep down inside, I give him credit for what he’s accomplished.”
“He’s my son, he turned his back on me. But overall, his growth in that ring has been tremendous, and I can’t take that away from him. And he’s doing an incredible job as the person he wants to be,” he added.
"I truly hope so, as a father, that he finds his way." 🙏

Rey also talked about Santos Escobar and wishes Dominik to join hands with Escobar and reform the LWO faction. Rey is currently being sidelined with an injury, caused by Santos Escobar, after he betrayed the LWO and brutally attacked Rey.
This year has been a great year for Dominik as a singles superstar and his recent match with CM Punk at the WWE Live event has also brought him lots of credit while his performance in the match was highly praised. In addition to that, Dominik has signed a huge multi-year contract with WWE for 5 years. Currently there are no plans for Dominik to leave the Judgement Day, but in future it might happen, and Dominik can dominate the WWE as a singles star.
