AAA Mega Champion Dominik Mysterio has addressed comparisons between himself and the legendary Eddie Guerrero.
Since turning heel in 2022, comparisons have been drawn between Mysterio and Guerrero, calling back to Mysterio’s first appearances on WWE TV in 2005 during Guerrero’s feud with Dominik’s father Rey Mysterio.
Rather than countering the comparisons, Dominik has instead embraced them, actively making many of Guerrero’s chief characteristics part of his own character.
In a new WWE interview, Dominik commented on his initial heel turn and how he’s gone on to channel Guerrero throughout his run.
He said:
“My character was being Rey Mysterio’s son. I’m sure people were just sick of it. There was nothing interesting about that. I was just there.
“Instantaneously (turning heel) just felt right. Almost like this is where I needed to be the whole time.
“This is all Eddie. I watched him so much that it organically became a thing. Even with the Rhea stuff – Eddie and Chyna. Now, the Lie, Cheat, Steal stuff that we’re currently doing.
“Without Eddie even knowing he planted that seed, he’s just always been there the whole time.”
