Rey Mysterio Says That While He’s Proud Of Dominik Mysterio For Becoming NXT North American Champion, He’ll Take It From Him Given The Chance

Rey Mysterio may have his sights set on adding another championship to his trophy cabinet.

Speaking on WWE’s The Bump, Rey Mysterio discussed his son’s attitude shift and his pride in him now becoming a champion in NXT.

“Titus, you’re a father, and you know how it is. Sometimes, when you fight with your kids, or your kids do the wrong things, and you gotta put them in place. That’s happened for the past year with Dom and myself, and not just myself but my wife as well. Despite the issues that we might have in our family, you can’t even imagine the amount of pride and joy that I feel every time he accomplishes something. That still doesn’t take away the fact that he’s disrespected his whole family, and I’m hoping that one day, that will all change,” 

“The fact that he’s succeeding and becoming his own person, he’s already his own person. You don’t know how many times I would have loved to call him up and say, ‘Congratulations, son, you’re really killing it.’ But it hurts. Unfortunately, I can’t do it, and that really hurts. I wish things would be different. But as a father, despite our differences. I’m extremely proud of what he’s doing and what he’s conquering. He just better not step in the ring with me because I will take that North American Title,”

Dominik is set to defend his title on Sunday when he battles Wes Lee and Mustafa Ali in a triple threat match for the championship at The Great American Bash.
