Tragically, Eddie Guerrero died on November 13, 2005, only three months after his feud with Rey Mysterio concluded. Guerrero was almost universally loved, and even today, 20 years later, Mysterio still mourns the loss of his friend. 

“I wish so bad that you could be here to see Dom’s own wrestling career take flight. Honestly … it wasn’t the smoothest flying at first,” Mysterio admitted. “He debuted in WWE about five years ago (or came back, if you count the custody match) – and ‘Rey Mysterio’s baby boy’ was still very much the character he was playing. No mask (TOO handsome!!!), but other than that he was the same ‘clean-cut babyface’ type I’ve been for most of my career. And he held his own!!”

Mysterio went on to write that Dominik Mysterio’s first match ever was at SummerSlam 2020 against Seth Rollins, who he describes as one of the best guys on the roster. He noted that Dominik surprised many people that night and started to earn the audience’s respect, but there were still some things he had to learn before becoming a major name. 

“And I can already picture you reading this, WeeWeeto, way up in those clouds, and you’re doing that pose where you’ve got your elbows in and your palms open – and you’re giving me that f***ing smirk-shrug, because you know what I’m about to say,” he wrote. “Dominik wasn’t fully clicking as ‘Rey Mysterio’s baby boy’……… so he did what I’m 100% sure you would’ve told him to do. He turned heel, and basically became ‘Eddie Guerrero’s demon boy.’ And that changed everything.”
