In a recent interview with Peter Rosenberg for Rosenberg Radio at ComplexCon last weekend, Rey Mysterio addressed why his daughter Aalyah has not pursued a career in professional wrestling. Despite having a notable presence on WWE television in 2020 - including prominent storylines with Buddy Murphy and Seth Rollins - Aalyah\'s focus remains on her studies and her aspiration to enter the medical field.
\"She also loves it as much as Dom did. We played wrestling a lot, but for some reason, she was more on my wife\'s side. She was the one who liked to study and was very dedicated, always getting A\'s. To this day, she\'s still very focused on her education. On the other hand, she\'s now pursuing her medical career,\" Mysterio explained.
Currently attending medical school at the University of California in San Diego, Aalyah has chosen a different path than her brother Dominik, who has become one of WWE\'s top stars. While Vince McMahon saw potential in her for a full-time wrestling career during her television appearances, Rey expressed pride in her decision to prioritize education. He noted that while he would be willing to train her if she ever decides to step into the ring, he fully supports her dedication to becoming a doctor.
At 48 years old and 35 years into his legendary career, Rey continues to deliver outstanding performances in WWE, proving that the Mysterio legacy in professional wrestling remains strong through both his own contributions and his son Dominik\'s rising success.
