Since the startling betrayal of his father, Rey Mysterio, one of the most iconic moments in WWE history, Dominik Mysterio’s career in the company has taken a dramatic turn.
Dominik, the former NXT North American Champion, has changed as a part of the Judgment Day, turning him into one of the most contentious characters in pro wrestling.
Embracing His Legacy Without a Mask
Dominik’s in-ring technique is sometimes compared to his WWE Hall of Fame father, despite the fact that his entire wrestling gimmick is based on loathing for Rey Mysterio. But why Dominik doesn’t wear a mask like his father is a question that fans frequently wonder.
Dominik responded to this query in a recent appearance on The Ringer Wrestling Show, saying that although he honors the custom of donning a mask, he personally chooses not to. He expressed that he believes he deserved the mask from the beginning, but he values showcasing his smile while wrestling.
“I believe that I was worthy of the mask from the start. It’s customary. At SummerSlam, I ought to have wrestled Seth while wearing a mask, but ultimately, I’m too attractive. I was able to showcase the gorgeous mullet.
Unless I lost a bet, my life depended on it to survive, or it gave me magical abilities, I doubt I’ll ever truly wear the mask all the time. I would never really write about this. I felt an intense smile. I intend to raise the Mysterio moniker to a new height, and I won’t require a mask.”
Even though he and his father, Rey Mysterio, lost a tag bout at WrestleMania 40, their enmity still endures. Dominik Mysterio is dedicated to upholding his family’s tradition and embracing his individuality in the wrestling community even as he forges his own route in the company.
WWE fans all across the world are sure to find Dominik’s quest to be an engaging narrative because of his refusal to wear a mask and his desire to bring the Mysterio name to new heights.
