I was kind of curious to see what the bedtime story was! I think it was a little bit of genuine fear in there, too, because I was a kid, man. So like, I’d sit there freaking out and like thinking about it.I don’t remember if they told me specifically what they wanted.I didn’t even know the bedtime story. I think they were kind of just going for my genuine look on what was going on, and I think most of the time, I was genuinely super shy and didn’t want to be out in the crowd. Mysterio could’ve just been a great child actor based on some of those reactions, though the WWE superstar assured it was a mix of his confusion and shy nature that really sold the emotion. This hilarious tidbit would certainly explain why Dominik Mysterio looked so stressed during footage from the match. Fortunately for the lightly confused kiddo, Guerrero lost the match. (He clearly hadn't seen any retirement matches get immediately retconned.) Hilariously enough, Mysterio revealed that he ultimately reasoned he could live with the Guerrero family if he had to, which would have been wild. ĭominik Mysterio was aware that Rey Mysterio was his biological father, but because he was only 8 at the time, he also thought Rey could legitimately lose custody of him in the match with Eddie Guerrero. I’d be like, ‘Eh, you know Eddie’s cool, I don’t mind,' you know. But I remember asking ‘What’s gonna happen afterward when this match does happen?’. Because I do remember them telling me they wanted to do this storyline, and my dad pitched it to me, and I was all on board with it. I genuinely thought that I’d probably end up going home with them. I don’t know if I think I thought it, but like, I think I thought I would eventually go home with Eddie if he won. Dominik Mysterio appeared on Ryan Satin’s podcast Out Of Character after joining Monday Night Raw via the WWE Draft, and shared a story that indicated how his youthful mind processed it all at the time. Guerrero literally fought for custody of Dominik with Rey Mysterio in a SummerSlam ladder match, with Mysterio being “awarded” custody of Dominik as a result of his victory.

WWE fans may remember the infamously bizarre storyline from 2005 in which Eddie Guerrero, months before his death at age 38, alleged he was the biological father of the then-eight-year-old Dominik Mysterio.
