Rey Mysterio disclosed during the podcast that when his son Dominik first began training as a wrestler, they discussed the possibility of facing each other in WWE. The Hall of Famer, though, didn’t anticipate it would happen so soon.

“We talked about it, my son and I, when he started training. When I saw that there was something there that he had, and I said, ‘Imagine the day that we get to face each other,” said the United States Champion. “All of a sudden he turns into a bad guy, he’s a heel, and he’s getting all this great reaction from the fans that the moment of WrestleMania this year, it happened so, so fast that I didn’t see it coming that quick.”

Mysterio also broke character to praise his son, gushing in pride at how quickly Dominik has mastered being a heel. He also predicts that the “NXT” North American Champion is not at his peak yet.

“This is me speaking as Oscar and not Rey, it’s unbelievable. To see how fast he’s been learning and growing, and how he connects with the audience, is like, ‘Wow.’ I had that at one point, and maybe I still do, but the good side, like I love the chants, the cheers, and the ovation. And he’s the complete opposite,” Mysterio said. “He’s not even at his peak yet. It is shocking, and my pride is over the roof, and I tell him.”
