In 2005, Dominik Mysterio was at the center of a bizarre storyline in which Eddie Guerrero claimed to be his father. The popular storyline, often referred to as “The Custody Of Dominik Mysterio,” began after Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio won the WWE Tag Team Championships at No Way Out (2005).

Dominik made his WWE on-screen debut at just eight years old during Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero’s rivalry that concluded with The Custody Of Dominik Ladder Match at SummerSlam. The finale saw Rey beat Eddie with the help of Dominik and Eddie’s wife Vickie Guerrero.

On the Cheap Heat podcast, Dominik recalled his appearance during the 2005 feud.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On his appearance in the Eddie & Rey segment: “I don’t remember Eddie prepping me for how intense he was going to be, that kind of just came in organically. As a kid, I thought that he was genuinely going to hit me and like, something was going to happen … These were all genuine reactions.”

On Eddie’s reaction to Vickie Guerrero missing her cue: “We go to the back and I see, I see Eddie just losing it. Flipping [crates] and just like, slamming them. I remember my mom and dad were, it was like a group hug, almost, to where they were kind of, like, didn’t want me to see that side of him … I just remember him coming over, still sweaty and just liked cool down and said just like, ‘I’m sorry.’”

On having bright blonde hair at that point: “It was [Rey’s] idea. It was probably one of the worst things that I’ve done.”
