We use the old saying, ‘it’s not ballet’, and it’s not, it’s physical. He took his licks like a champ, man,” Rollins says. “He bruised up pretty good, got some good pictures out of it. And I’m sure that stoked a fire in him, and at SummerSlam, we’ll be able to bring him to my level and we’ll be able to have a good fight.”

Dominik is the son of Rey Mysterio – one of the greatest wrestlers in history. The junior Mysterio will take part in the first match of his career this SummerSlam. As fate would have it, his in-ring debut turned out to be a gruesome street fight.

“Whenever it comes to stuff I do in the ring, I don’t take it easy. I don’t take a night off. That was an initiation of sorts for Dominik. He signed a WWE contract and he wanted to fight the best at SummerSlam so he’s going to get that. I’m not going to hold back just back it’s his first match in WWE or because he’s Rey Mysterio’s son. I’m going to expect him to step up to my level.”

This Sunday, at WWE SummerSlam, Seth Rollins and Dominik Mysterio will (hopefully) put an end to their two months of bad blood. Fans are hopeful that Rey Mysterio will be at ringside to support his son in the first match of his career.
