The deeply personal family rivalry between Rey Mysterio and his son, Dominik, reached a new level when Rey had to defeat his son at WrestleMania to teach him a lesson about respect. Rey, who came to the ring wearing a Great Muta inspired mask in a tricked-out lowrider driven by Snoop Dogg with Eddie Guerrero’s theme song blaring, was not hesitant to go after his son, using his supreme lucha libre skills to stifle Dominik. To the delight of the crowd, Rey undid his belt and proceeded to use it to whip his son. Angry, Dominik confronted his mother and sister, even tossing a drink in his sister’s face. Rey tried defending his daughter, Aalyah, but Dominik nailed him with a forearm shiver.  Proud of beating down his father, Dominik gloated in his mother’s face, but Angie slapped her son and the distraction allowed Rey to get back into the match. As Rey began to roll, Finn Bálor and Damian Priest appeared to back up Dominik at ringside.  Rey capitalized off of another counter and hit Dominik with a 619, but Bálor distracted the WWE official long enough for Priest to knock Rey off the turnbuckle, allowing Dominik to take advantage.  Out of nowhere, the newly-formed Latino World Order appeared and evened the odds as Santos Escobar, Cruz Del Toro and Joaquin Wilde took out The Judgment Day.  However, amid the chaos, Dominik hit Rey with a 619 of his own followed by a frog splash, but his dad kicked out. Dominik tried to follow it up by hitting his dad with a steel chain that Priest had hid on the arpon, but Bad Bunny, who was on Spanish commentary at ringside, snatched the chain from Dominik’s hands.  The distraction allowed Rey to knock Dominik into the ropes, hit another 619 and then a frog splash of his own to defeat his son.
