Dominik Mysterio: I Don’t Want To Take Advantage Of The Guerrero Family

The Judgment Day’s Dominik Mysterio has disrespected his father on WWE TV time and again, but the RAW Superstar has plenty of respect for the Guerrero family.

Since turning heel at WWE Clash at the Castle 2022, Dominik’s persona has drawn comparisons to the late Eddie Guerrero, who died in 2005 aged 38.

On the Cheap Heat podcast, the self-professed Eddie Guerrero of this generation said he’s made sure not to cross a line and has spoken to Eddie’s widow Vickie.

“Being able to talk to Vickie, it’s been little things here and there,” Mysterio said. “She’ll reach out and be like, ‘I love what you’re doing.’ I’ll reach out to here and go, ‘Hey, hopefully this is okay.’ Little things like that.

“I just never want any problems with the Guerrero family. It’s all love and respect at the end of the day. Even before [the Judgment Day storyline] started, I asked someone in WWE if I could reach out to Vickie and ask her, ‘Is this okay?’”

Mysterio felt things were “getting out of hand” when he grew out the mullet and some fans perceived it as a sign of disrespect towards Eddie, something Mysterio would never want to do.

“I don’t ever want [the Guerrero family] to think that I’m taking advantage of anything. End of the day, it’s all love and respect for Eddie and admiration for what he did. Eddie and my dad nudged me into this business when I was an 8-year-old. He planted that seed without me even knowing, and I’m forever grateful.”

Dominik added that he feels Eddie’s ‘presence‘ when he competes in WWE and went on to say that “he’s just always there.”
