Dominik Mysterio’s fifth-grade yearbook has resurfaced on social media.
From being known as just Rey Mysterio’s son to becoming one of the most entertaining heels and a double champion, Dominik Mysterio has come a long way in WWE. While wrestling fans have seen a glimpse into Mysterio’s childhood through the infamous custody angle between his father and Eddie Guerrero in 2005, a new TikTok post has gone viral for revealing another part of his early days by posting his fifth-grade yearbook.
The yearbook features Dominik Mysterio, sporting an OG Justin Bieber haircut and smiling innocently among his classmates, unaware that he’s going to become a successful WWE Superstar and brand his legendary father a “deadbeat dad” on national television.
Dominik Mysterio is currently out of action after sustaining a shoulder injury at AAA Guerra de Titanes last month. Recent reports indicate that Mysterio will not require surgery and could be cleared to compete by Royal Rumble week.
Damian Priest Says Dominik Mysterio Was Lost Before Judgment Day
Speaking on the Delivering Happiness podcast, former World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest reflected on his time as part of The Judgment Day and his early impressions of Dominik Mysterio. He noted that Mysterio was still closely tied to his father, Rey Mysterio, and lost creatively before joining the group.
“He’s (Dominik Mysterio) unreal, like, where he’s gone. When I first met him, he was… I want to say lost, but he didn’t have a direction. He was paired with his dad. He had short hair, clean cut, he was just wrestling and having fun.
“I think once everyone decided like a change needed to be made and he joins Judgment Day and then he and I, along with Rhea, got a lot closer. I mean, then it was on a regular daily basis that we were hanging out. It wasn’t just at the arenas. Like, we were going out afterwards, and he was training in Orlando, close to where I live. So then we were meeting up for dinner and stuff like that. So he was around me a lot and then we really got to become like family.
It’s crazy, like, seeing what I knew then to seeing what I know now of him and the way he is. Not the same kid. Like, that guy’s a megastar now,” Priest said about Dominik Mysterio. [H/T: Fightful]
