Fortunately for the lightly confused kiddo, Guerrero lost the match. (He clearly hadn't seen any retirement matches get immediately retconned.) Hilariously enough, Mysterio revealed that he ultimately reasoned he could live with the Guerrero family if he had to, which would have been wild. ĭominik Mysterio was aware that Rey Mysterio was his biological father, but because he was only 8 at the time, he also thought Rey could legitimately lose custody of him in the match with Eddie Guerrero. I’d be like, ‘Eh, you know Eddie’s cool, I don’t mind,' you know. But I remember asking ‘What’s gonna happen afterward when this match does happen?’. Because I do remember them telling me they wanted to do this storyline, and my dad pitched it to me, and I was all on board with it. I genuinely thought that I’d probably end up going home with them. I don’t know if I think I thought it, but like, I think I thought I would eventually go home with Eddie if he won. Dominik Mysterio appeared on Ryan Satin’s podcast Out Of Character after joining Monday Night Raw via the WWE Draft, and shared a story that indicated how his youthful mind processed it all at the time. Guerrero literally fought for custody of Dominik with Rey Mysterio in a SummerSlam ladder match, with Mysterio being “awarded” custody of Dominik as a result of his victory. WWE fans may remember the infamously bizarre storyline from 2005 in which Eddie Guerrero, months before his death at age 38, alleged he was the biological father of the then-eight-year-old Dominik Mysterio.
