The Battle of The Mysterios is now official for WrestleMania 39.
Tonight’s SmackDown on FOX saw 2023 WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio lose to LA Knight, thanks to a distraction by Dominik Mysterio. Dominik once again tried to talk his father into facing him at WrestleMania 39, but Rey walked away. Dominik then confronted his mother Angie and sister Aalyah, who were sitting at ringside to watch the match. Dominik disrespected them both, to their faces, which brought Rey back to the ringside area. Dominik dared his father to bring it, and then Rey put him down with one punch as the crowd went wild.
Rey went on about how Dominik forced him to do that, how he didn’t want to hit his son but Dominik pushed and pushed him. Rey then told Dominik he doesn’t disrespect his mother like that. Rey said if Dominik wanted a fight at WrestleMania… he’s on. Fans went wild again as Dominik looked up from the floor a bit worried. Rey said he will see Dominik at WrestleMania, son. Rey’s music started back up as he hugged his wife and daughter at ringside. Dominik retreated to the stage, clutching his forehead.
WWE then confirmed Mysterio vs. Mysterio for WrestleMania 39. The match has been the plan for many months now, going back to the early days of Dominik’s run.
Rey will be inducted into the 2023 WWE Hall of Fame Class next Friday night as the headliner.
