The Mysterio family has an extended legacy in pro wrestling, and the subsequent generation of stars from that family may not stop with WWE’s Dominik Mysterio as his sister too is keen to follow in his footsteps.
Rey Mysterio had a conversation with Cody Rhodes on the latter’s “What Do You Wanna Talk About?” podcast, where the WWE Hall of Famer disclosed how his daughter, Aalyah, also desires to try her hand within the family business.
“Right before I got cleared from my injury, I went as much as the PC in Orlando and my daughter has been asking me, ‘Dad, I wanna go within the ring. I wanna jump within the ring, I just wanna see what it seems like.’ Like, [I told her] ‘I’ll do it while you graduate.’ So she graduated in June from UCSD, [in] human biology. And she or he goes, ‘Okay, I’m graduated, while you gonna take me?’ I said, ‘I’m actually gonna head as much as the PC, so I’ll book our flights and you’ll be able to go up there with me.’ So Angie, Aaliyah and myself flew up,” Mysterio revealed.
The legendary star stated that she got within the ring with him on the WWE Performance Center and he was amazed to see what a natural she was within the squared circle.
“She went in there on a Wednesday with me and I used to be like, ‘There is not any way.’ Like, that is your first time stepping within the ring. She had a reference to just positioning. Hitting the ropes. Like that is frightening, crazy,” he added. “She just went in there with me to. To feel what it was like, to feel the mat, to feel the ropes. And I’m afraid that she could be [a natural] if she decides to take that path.”
Mysterio said that his daughter — who has featured in WWE programming up to now — also trained at TJ Wilson and Natalya’s wrestling school. He said that Aalyah appears to be keen to explore wrestling further, with him stating that her next task could be to enter a full week of wrestling training.
