Mysterios

The Mysterios were an American professional wrestling tag team composed of Rey Mysterio and his son Dominik Mysterio. Individually, both Rey and Dominik currently perform on WWE's Raw brand. They are former one-time SmackDown Tag Team Champions, making them the first father and son team to have won a tag team championship in WWE.

Dominik made his first professional wrestling appearance on the June 5, 2003 edition of SmackDown! at 6 years old when he was in the crowd along with his mother Angie and his younger sister Aalyah watching his father Rey Mysterio win the WWE Cruiserweight Championship from Matt Hardy. After the match, Dominik came over the barricade and into the ring to celebrate with his father, who promptly gave him a massive hug and hoisted him up on his shoulders. Dominik made his second appearance on the December 11 edition of SmackDown! in the crowd again with Angie and Aalyah watching his father compete against WWE Champion Brock Lesnar in a non-title match in a losing effort.

In the summer of 2005, Dominik made his third appearance in WWE at the age of 8, but this time in a more prominent role, as part of his father Rey's ongoing feud with Eddie Guerrero, in which the two rivals fought for custody of him. During the storyline, Guerrero stated that he was Dominik's (kayfabe) biological father. Mysterio defeated Guerrero in a ladder match for custody of Dominik at SummerSlam. He made two more appearances in 2006, first at WrestleMania 22 with Angie and Aalyah watching his father win the World Heavyweight Championship for the first time and second on the September 15 edition of SmackDown! where he watched backstage as his father battled with Mr. Kennedy. Mysterio would lose this match after Chavo Guerrero and Vickie Guerrero showed up on the stage with Gutiérrez to distract Mysterio as Kennedy rolled him up for the win. He once again appeared on the March 12, 2010 episode of SmackDown, this time during the feud between Rey Mysterio and the Straight Edge Society (CM Punk, Luke Gallows, and Serena).

On the March 19, 2019 episode of SmackDown Live, Dominik appeared with his father, Rey Mysterio, who announced that he would be facing Samoa Joe for the WWE United States Championship at WrestleMania 35. He appeared on Raw from April to June, during the feud between Mysterio and Joe. During the following months, he was involved in his father's storylines and matches, including getting physically involved in Rey's WWE Championship match against Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series, where they attacked Lesnar and performed a double 619, but Rey was nonetheless defeated.

In May 2020, Dominik was involved in the feud between his father and Seth Rollins. His in-ring debut took place at SummerSlam, being defeated by Rollins. After the event, Dominik and Rey began to work as a tag team, defeating Rollins and Buddy Murphy at Payback. As part of the 2020 Draft in October, The Mysterios were drafted to the SmackDown brand. The Mysterio family's feud with Rollins would end on the November 13 episode of SmackDown after Rey defeated Rollins in a No Holds Barred match after assistance from Murphy, who turned on Rollins.

At WrestleMania Backlash, Dominik and Rey won the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, marking Dominik's first championship in WWE, and making Dominik and Rey the first father and son team to become tag team champions in WWE history. At the Money in the Bank pre-show, the Mysterios dropped the titles to The Usos, ending their reign at 63 days.

As part of the 2021 Draft, both Rey and Dominik were drafted to the Raw brand. On the January 31, 2022 episode of Raw, The Miz defeated Dominik. The following week, the Mysterios were guests on "Miz TV". Rey claimed that Miz cheated to defeat Dominik while Miz took issue that Rey had an opportunity to qualify for the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber match while he did not and also that Rey was the cover star of the WWE 2K22 video game. Miz also questioned if Rey was truly Dominik's dad, referencing the child custody battle that Rey had with Eddie Guerrero back at SummerSlam in 2005. Dominik subsequently defeated Miz in a rematch. Rey then defeated Miz during the Elimination Chamber Kickoff pre-show. Later backstage, Miz accused Rey of cheating due to Dominik and said he would find a tag team partner who was a "global superstar". On the following episode of Raw, as Miz teased the identity of his partner to face Rey and Dominik at WrestleMania 38, the Mysterios interrupted, stating it did not matter who Miz had chosen. Miz then revealed his partner as social media personality Logan Paul, after which, Miz and Paul attacked the Mysterios. At WrestleMania 38, the Mysterios were defeated by Miz and Paul.

The Mysterios later began feuding with The Judgment Day (Finn Bálor, Damian Priest, and Rhea Ripley) over the group's desire to recruit Dominik, with the latter continuously refusing, leading to the group attacking the Mysterios on several occasions. During Rey's 20th anniversary celebration on the July 25 episode of Raw, the Mysterios defeated Bálor and Priest in a tag team match. Afterwards in a backstage segment, Ripley attacked Rey's daughter Aalyah before dragging Dominik away, leading Rey into an assault by Bálor and Priest. At SummerSlam, the Mysterios defeated Bálor and Priest in a no disqualification match following an interference from the returning Edge, The Judgment Day's former leader, who attacked Bálor and Priest, allowing the Mysterios to defeat them. At Clash at the Castle, after Rey and Edge defeated Bálor and Priest, Dominik hit Edge with a low blow. Rey pleaded with Dominik to stop, but Dominik attacked Rey, turning heel and disbanding the Mysterios in the process.
