Bio

Dominik Gutiérrez was born on April 5, 1997, the son of Angie and the legendary wrestler Rey Mysterio.

Dominik, under his father’s ring name of Mysterio, made his first professional wrestling appearance on the June 5, 2003 edition of SmackDown! at six 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, Mysterio 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.

Mysterio 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, Mysterio made his third appearance in WWE at the age of eight 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 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 Mysterio 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 August 23 at SummerSlam, he made his in-ring debut, where he was defeated by Rollins in a Street Fight. At Payback, Dominik teamed with his father to defeat Rollins and Murphy for his first victory in WWE.

The next night on Raw, he replaced his injured father in a match with Rollins, set up to determine entries into another match that was held later that night to decide the next challenger for the WWE Championship. Rollins avoided a frog splash, and went on to defeat him, as a frustrated Rey looked on backstage. Next week he defeated Murphy with the help of his family in a Street Fight. The following week on Raw, he once again wrestled Rollins, this time in a steel cage match where he was defeated. A new storyline developed in September, where his sister began to show feelings for Murphy, the former disciple of Rollins. This caused unrest amongst the Mysterio family, and one such distraction caused Murphy to pin him during a match.

As part of the 2020 Draft in October, Mysterio was 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 the Survivor Series kickoff, Mysterio took part in a dual brand battle royal where he was the last person eliminated by The Miz. At the Royal Rumble, Dominik took part in his first Royal Rumble match where he entered at Number 21 and where he eliminated King Corbin before being eliminated by Bobby Lashley. On the February 12 episode of SmackDown, the Mysterios were defeated by Corbin and Sami Zayn in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match.

On the WrestleMania edition of SmackDown, Dominik and Rey Mysterio would face Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode, Alpha Academy (Chad Gable and Otis), and The Street Profits in a fatal four-way tag team match for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, but were unsuccessful as Ziggler and Roode retained their titles.

At WrestleMania Backlash, despite being attacked backstage by Ziggler and Roode prior to the match, they won the tag team championship, marking his first championship in WWE, and making him and Rey the first father and son tag team champions in WWE history. At Money in the Bank, The Mysterios dropped the titles to The Usos, ending their reign at 63 days.
