In a shocking and emotional revelation that has sent shockwaves through the WWE Universe, Dominik Mysterio has accused his parents — WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio and Angie Mysterio — of misusing his childhood WWE earnings to pay for his sister Aalyah’s college tuition.
The stunning claim was made during an exclusive backstage interview aired on WWE Raw Fallout, where Dominik sat down for what started as a routine segment but quickly turned into a heart-wrenching confession.
> “People always say I was lucky to be born into a wrestling family,” Dominik began. “But what they don’t see is how I was treated — not like a son, but like a source of income. While I was out there performing as a kid, being dragged into storylines I didn’t understand, my parents were cashing in — and not for my future. For hers.”
Dominik, who famously appeared in WWE as a child during the 2005 custody storyline between his father and the late Eddie Guerrero, claims he was unaware that the money earned from his early appearances was not saved for him, but allegedly used to fund Aalyah’s private education and eventual college path.
> “I was doing everything they asked — smiling on camera, playing my part, taking the hits. And the whole time, my earnings were being funneled into Aalyah’s future. Not mine. I wasn’t a son… I was a paycheck.”
The segment took an even darker turn when Dominik produced what he claimed were old financial documents, blurred for privacy but labeled “Education Fund – A.M.”, suggesting that the funds meant for him had long been rerouted.
WWE officials have not confirmed the authenticity of the documents, and Rey Mysterio has not yet issued an official response. However, sources backstage say Rey was blindsided by the interview and is “heartbroken” by his son’s public outburst.
Aalyah Mysterio, who has largely stayed out of the spotlight since her brief WWE appearances in 2020, broke her silence with a pointed message on social media:
> “Some people would rather create drama than face their own failures.”
Fans are split, with some believing Dominik’s claims are part of an evolving storyline — possibly leading to a dramatic family feud — while others believe it may reflect genuine personal tension that has now been woven into WWE programming.
Dominik closed the interview with a chilling statement:
> “You want to know why I turned on my father? Because he turned on me first. He robbed me of more than money — he robbed me of trust, of love, of a real future. And now I’m done being the good son.”
Whether this is kayfabe or the blurring of real-life emotion into character work, one thing is clear: Dominik Mysterio has declared war on his own family, and fans are watching every second of it unfold.
