It was rumored earlier within the night, and WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio officially made his return to “WWE Raw” on Monday, and even got physical following his recovery from a groin injury. Mysterio appeared on the show to confront his son, Intercontinental and AAA Mega Champion Dominik Mysterio.
Dominik went out to the ring to brag and once more proclaim himself as “King of the Luchadores” after defeating Rusev and Penta at Saturday Night’s Principal Event. He didn’t get to brag for longer, nonetheless, before his father’s music interrupted him and Rey also got here out to the ring. He said Dominik could called himself the best champion all day long, but he had to attract a line when his son calls himself the King of the Luchadores. Rey said each time he says it, Dominik disrespects their blood. Rey asked if Dominik thought he was higher than the likes of El Santo or Eddie Guerrero.
The younger Mysterio said that there is one luchador he knows he’s higher than, and that is Rey. His father said he wasn’t going to face there and let his son disrespect Lucha libre, and that is when Rey took off his jacket. Dominik called his dad jealous and told him to get out of the ring. Rey said that Dominik needed to know that so long as he’s around, Dominik won’t ever be King of the Luchadores, it’ll never be his ring, and he’ll never be the best Mysterio.
With that, Dominik went to throw a right hand at Rey, but his father blocked the shot and fired back. Rey hit his son with a 619 and went up top for the frog splash, however the Intercontinental Champion rolled out of the ring.
