Aalyah Mysterio, daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio, has trained in wrestling and enjoyed the experience. However, she has not committed to a full-time wrestling career.
The former World Champion revealed that Aalyah trained at the WWE Performance Center (PC) in Orlando and The Dungeon 2.0 with Natalya, TJ Wilson, Rey Mysterio, and other WWE stars. Aalyah's potential WWE in-ring future remains unconfirmed pending further training.
Rey Mysterio has revealed that he took Aalyah to train after she expressed interest right before he was cleared from injury. Aalyah graduated in June and trained shortly after, flying to the PC on a Wednesday.
Aalyah Mysterio's Training Experience
In an interview with Cody Rhodes' 'What Do You Wanna Talk About?' podcast, Rey explained how Aalyah's wrestling training came about after she expressed interest. Rey Mysterio revealed:
Right before I got cleared from my injury, I went to the PC in Orlando. My daughter had been asking me, ‘Dad, I want to jump in the ring. I want to see what it’s like.’ I told her we’d do it when she graduated. So she graduated in June, and we flew up there on a Wednesday.
Rey was surprised by Aalyah's natural talent and positioning in the ring, and she enjoyed it despite the stiffness of the ropes and bumps. He added:
I was like there is no way. This is your first time stepping in the ring? She had a connection with, just positioning, hitting the ropes, oh my that is scary crazy. She just went in there with me to feel what it was like. To feel the mat, to feel the ropes. I am afraid she might be (an athlete) if she decides to take that path.
Rey Mysterio is planning to get Aalyah to try a full week of training to determine her wrestling future. The Mysterio legacy is in safe hands as his son, Dominik Mysterio has already made a name for himself in WWE. He is currently enjoying his reign as AAA Mega Champion and WWE Intercontinental Champion.
