Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio had the chance to become the first father-son duo to compete inside Elimination Chamber, but they lost their chance after Sami Zayn and King Baron Corbin defeated them on WWE SmackDown: February 12, 2021.

The match started with Rey Mysterio and Baron Corbin inside the ring. Rey tried to take down Corbin, but Sami Zayn interrupted and tripped Mysterio. To retaliate, Dominik Mysterio attacked Zayn outside the ring.

Within a few moments, Rey Mysterio sent Corbin to the floor.

Soon afterwards, Baron Corbin applied a hold on Rey Mysterio. However, the latter broke free and tagged in Dominik. From this point onwards, Dominik fended off both Zayn and Corbin by himself.

However, he couldn’t hold them off for too long. At the end of the match, Sami attacked Dominik with a kick and pinned him to secure the victory for himself and Corbin.

The winners have earned a spot at the upcoming WWE Elimination Chamber.

Sami Zayn is one step closer to his wish

Before the match started, Sami Zayn was ranting about earning a title shot. If he secures the win at Elimination Chamber, he will fight Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship title that night.
