Dominik Mysterio Had No Idea About AJ Styles’ Eddie Guerrero Tribute at WWE SummerSlam

AJ Styles paid tribute to Eddie Guerro by coming out in a Low Rider for his match against Dominik Mysterio at SummerSlam. Interestingly enough, Dirty Dom actually had no idea Styles was going to do this.

While speaking on Busted Open Radio, Dominik Mysterio revealed that he had no idea AJ Styles was going to pay tribute to Eddie Guerrero at SummerSlam by arriving in a Low Rider and wearing Latino Heat-inspired gear.

Mysterio noted that Styles’ entrance and attire, including tights that closely matched what Eddie wore in 2005, came as a complete surprise to him and felt surreal. Dominik explained that his own mindset was to take what his father Rey Mysterio wore in 2005 and update it. He described it as putting the “Dirty Dom” spin on the look, wearing similar blue gear with his own flair.

The Intercontinental Champion saw it as a full-circle moment, going from Rey and Eddie in 2005 to himself in 2025, facing AJ Styles in a new chapter of the story.

“Yeah, for sure. So, I didn’t really know AJ was going to do that as far as like coming out with the Low Rider and his, uh, his Latino Heat style shirt. Even his tights — his tights were to the T what Eddie wore in ’05, right? So for me that was a little bit surreal, and I had no idea that was going to happen.

But in my head, my thought process was, okay, ’05 — this is what my deadbeat dad was wearing. So let me take that and upgrade it to my style, my version. Dirty Dom, greatest Mysterio of all time.

So I rocked that same style, blue, but just Dirty Domed it out a little bit. So basically you got, you know, ’05 Rey and Eddie to 2025 Dom versus AJ.”

Dominik Mysterio ended up defeating AJ Styles and successfully retaining the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam. It’s clear he made Eddie Guerrero proud with his performance and that’s all that matters in the end.
