Dominik Mysterio Roasts Rey Mysterio’s Masked Look: “He’s Ugly, That’s Why He Wears It”

Dominik Mysterio isn’t holding anything back when it comes to his legendary father, Rey Mysterio—and his latest shots might be the most brutal yet.

In a recent interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling, the WWE star stayed firmly in character and took aim at Rey’s iconic mask, claiming it’s not about lucha tradition—it’s about hiding his face.

“I unfortunately lived with this man for 15+ years,” Dominik said. “He’s a deadbeat. He’s a terrible person. He’s not good. He’s ugly. That’s why he has to wear a mask. He has no hair.”

For context, Rey Mysterio was famously unmasked during WCW SuperBrawl IX in 1999 after losing a tag team match with Konnan against Kevin Nash and Scott Hall. When he debuted in WWE in 2002, he brought the mask back—and never looked back. It’s been a signature part of his identity ever since, rooted in rich lucha libre tradition.

But Dominik couldn’t care less about history or heritage. He doubled down, even dragging the interviewer into the mix: “You guys are about the same height, so you got that going for you as far as being a fan. You got more hair than him, so that works. It’s a little gray, looks like his goatee. I just don’t like him. I don’t like the guy.”

Dominik has been feuding with his father on WWE TV since 2022, but these barbs might be more personal than anything seen in the ring. Whether storyline or not, it’s clear that Dom is fully committed to playing the disrespectful son role—and doing it better than anyone.
