This is not the first time we’ve heard of Dominik Mysterio donning a mask in the future. During a chat with Chris Van Vliet last year, Dominik revealed there have been talks of him wearing a mask and adopting a name. However, he added it would happen in the future as he gets into the traditions of Lucha Libre.
Dominik Mysterio made his WWE in-ring debut at Summerslam this year in a losing effort against Seth Rollins. However, his match with Rollins earned him a lot of praise. This kickstarted his career as a full-time professional wrestler. Or shall we say WWE Superstar?

Since debuting at Summerslam, Dominik hasn’t looked back once. He and Rey Mysterio continued to team at regular intervals and zeroed in on the SmackDown Tag Team Championships earlier this year. The duo finally won the titles at WrestleMania Backlash and became the first-ever father-son tag team champions in not just WWE, but pro-wrestling history!
