Dominik Mysterio faces a significant challenge at WrestleMania 41, competing in a high-stakes fatal four-way match for the Intercontinental Championship – his debut attempt at securing the coveted main roster singles title. The contest pits him against formidable rivals: Penta El Serpiente, his fellow Judgment Day member Finn Balor, and current champion Bron Breakker.
Mysterio has consistently encountered difficulty gaining an advantage in previous encounters with these three opponents, highlighting the intense competition within WWE.
“It’s a truly remarkable opportunity for him,” stated Rey Mysterio during an interview at WrestleMania After Dark. “As his father, I find immense pride in witnessing his development and accomplishments, particularly considering the rapid pace of his progress.” He emphasized that while their on-screen relationship has been marked by rivalry – including recent clashes at WrestleManias 39 and 40 – his personal feelings as a parent remain steadfast.
“I consistently reinforce how proud I am,” Rey continued, “His dedication, precision, and ring craft are shaped by the values instilled in him through his mother’s influence. While his raw talent is undoubtedly innate—a natural gift—there’s no question Dominik was destined for a prominent role within WWE.”
Mysterio’s career boasts notable achievements including a victory in a tag-team championship match alongside his father and two successful reigns as the NXT North American Champion.
Bron Breakker currently holds the Intercontinental Championship, having claimed it on October 21, 2024, following a decisive win over Jey Uso.
“This match represents a pivotal moment for Dominik,” added Rey Mysterio, reflecting on his son’s journey.
