Aalyah Mysterio is barely getting started with WWE, and somebody pretending to be Rey Mysterio’s daughter is already trying to talk to fans like they’re the real deal. The fake account is using Aalyah’s name, her photo and her WWE training image — and after getting slapped with a Community Note, it still started firing off private messages to new followers.
The account has been around since August 2023 and currently has more than 5,000 followers, so this isn’t some profile that suddenly appeared overnight. What changed is that Aalyah’s wrestling future is now getting serious attention after WWE named her as part of its newest Performance Center recruit class. That gave the account some fresh material.
On September 17, the profile posted a photo of Aalyah standing inside the WWE Performance Center and tried to make it sound like Rey’s daughter was personally asking fans to support her wrestling career.
“Coming soon I hope you would support me the way you support my family thans my lovely 😍 fans”
There’s just one pretty huge problem with that message — it isn’t Aalyah. X users added a Community Note under the post warning people that the account is not connected to Aalyah Mysterio. The note points fans toward her real Instagram and TikTok pages and states that the X profile appears to be based in Africa.
Then Ringside News decided to see what happened if somebody actually followed it. That’s when things got even sketchier. Ringside News followed the account, and a private message came through thanking us for the follow and immediately trying to pull us into a conversation about the Mysterio family. All the signs of an automated opener designed to get a new follower talking.
“Thanks 😊 for following mg page hope you won’t stop watching my families shows??”
In related news, Ringside News recently spoke directly with a man who claims Liv Morgan impersonators scammed him out of $35,500. He provided evidence while describing a years-long nightmare involving fake identities, promises, payment demands and people claiming to be connected to the WWE star.
Rhea Ripley’s name was dragged into another ugly mess as well. Ringside News covered how a Pennsylvania man lost $42,700 to someone pretending to be Rhea Ripley, after the original local television story initially published the wrong dollar amount before correcting it.
That’s exactly why this Aalyah account raises eyebrows. So while Aalyah is out there trying to earn her place in WWE, somebody else is sitting behind a fake profile using her name to get into wrestling fans’ inboxes. The Community Note already blew a giant hole in the act, but the account is still there and still messaging people. After the recent Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley impersonation scams, fans should probably think twice before believing any “WWE star” who suddenly wants to become best friends in the DMs.
What do you make of someone pretending to be Aalyah Mysterio and messaging fans after getting hit with a Community Note? Let us know what you think and leave your feedback in the comments.
