Rey Mysterio Posts Heartfelt Tribute After Winning SmackDown Tag Titles With Dominik

Rey Mysterion and Dominik Mysterio made history at WrestleMania Backlash on Sunday night when the pair defeated The Dirty Dawgs in order to become the first father-son duo to win tag team championships in company history. Dominik, despite being attacked backstage by the champs during the kickoff show, managed to limp his way down and pick up the win by hitting a Frogsplash onto Robert Roode. Rey took to social media on Monday and posted a series of photos dedicated to his son growing up and following in his footsteps in the WWE.

The pair said in an interview with ESPN last year that Dominik hopes to one day become a masked luchador himself with the name Prince Mysterio, an homage to Rey.

“We actually talked about it. He definitely has to continue with the Mysterio dynasty. It’s in his genes,” Rey said. “I think we’re going to incorporate that eventually and create a good story so the fans can understand the rich history behind lucha libre and the masks.”

“I’ve always wanted to wear a mask mainly because of tradition. It’s important to keep that tradition going,” Dominik added. “Now with my face being out there, I think it would just have to be introduced a little bit differently so people understand. I definitely want to wear one, but it has to be introduced properly.”
