Easily the most contentious pick on the entire list, but out of the current crop of next generation stars in wrestling, it’s a very tough category to choose from. Obviously, Cody Rhodes has achieved so much, but you can argue that he’s still not at the level of where Dusty Rhodes was. Bron Breakker is a future main event star as part of the Vision, but he still has a way to go before topping what Rick Steiner did in his prime, and even Shota Umino in NJPW has main evented the Tokyo Dome while his dad has been refereeing his match. However, Dominik Mysterio is one man who might not have done it yet, but is one course to surpassing what his father accomplished.

Rey Mysterio is a WWE Hall of Famer and one of the most famous luchadors of all time. He was the most exciting wrestler in the world when he broke on to the scene in the 1990s, and would go on to achieve the unthinkable by becoming a two-time WWE world champion. 

What lands Dominik Mysterio on this list is just how quickly he’s gone from being “Rey Mysterio’s son” to one of the most in-demand wrestlers on the planet. Currently a double champion as he holds both the WWE Intercontinental Championship and the AAA Mega Championship, the latter of which is a title that wasn’t around when Rey was in AAA but he never got close to winning AAA’s top prize despite how popular he was. Dominik has mastered the art of being a heel at such a young age that he is on course to not only main eventing WrestleMania, but probably multiple WrestleMania’s with the WWE Championship on the line. His dad might be an icon to many, but Dominik Mysterio is creating his own legacy as we speak.
