Dominik Mysterio will make his in-ring debut with WWE at Sunday’s SummerSlam pay-per-view in the Street Fight against Seth Rollins.
In a lengthy piece by ESPN, it is revealed that Dominik has plans to eventually perform under the mask with the name Prince Mysterio. Rey is Spanish for King, so the name and masked character would be a way for Dominik to carry on his father’s legacy.
“We actually talked about it. He definitely has to continue with the Mysterio dynasty. It’s in his genes,” said Rey Mysterio, whose mask and surname was passed down by his uncle, told ESPN. “I think we’re going to incorporate that eventually and create a good story so the fans can understand the rich history behind lucha libre and the masks.”
“I’ve always wanted to wear a mask mainly because of tradition. It’s important to keep that tradition going,” said Dominik. “Now with my face being out there, I think it would just have to be introduced a little bit differently so people understand. I definitely want to wear one, but it has to be introduced properly.”
Dominik already has the Prince Mysterio gear and mask designed but wanted to hold off on debuting it at SummerSlam. You can read the complete piece by ESPN at this link.
