WWE Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio has set his sights on Mexico’s AAA Mega Championship as well as a potential future showdown with his father Rey Mysterio. Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Dominik made his bold declaration that a victory at AAA TripleMania could lead to rekindling his feud with his dad.
“If I become the Mega Champion for AAA, I don’t see why my father, the leprechaun, shouldn’t be coming down to me and begging for a title shot.”
Dominik is certainly confident ahead of his title match with El Hojo del Vikingo that will include El Grande Americano and Dragon Lee. In Dominik’s world, his involvement makes the show worth watching.
“If I’m involved, it’s the greatest match of all time. It’ll be their biggest draw.”
Given his popularity and WWE’s influence over AAA, a title win for Dirty Dom could be very possible. As for a showdown with his father, the younger Mysterio believes the fans would side with hm, even if he performed the ultimate disrespect and ripped off his father’s mask.
“Of course [I’d make it out alive]. The people would celebrate me.”
Dominik also pointed to his father’s AAA history as extra motivation. Not just satisfied with beating his father, Dominik wants to establish himself as the one, true Mysterio in AAA.
“He has never fought for that title when it comes to the Mega Campeón for AAA. So, if I get my hands on it, I’m sure he’s going to want to put his name in the history books—but he’s got to go through me, the greatest Mysterio of all time.”
With Rey sidelined due to injury since WrestleMania, Dominik sees a prime opportunity to prove himself as the superior Mysterio in Mexico’s premier promotion. Time will tell if Rey Vs. Dominik happens in AAA, and if so, if the AAA Mega Championship will be on the line.
