People working in the entertainment industry often break the fourth wall. However, when they get off stage and return to their lives, the fourth wall stares back at them. The WWE Superstar is the son of legendary pro wrestler Rey Mysterio. The former Royal Rumble winner was well known for his unique fighting style; however, he was also known for the stories he was a part of on the WWE. Lines between the reel and real life are also blurred for Dominik Mysterio.
Storylines are the key drivers of all WWE acts. While it is a known fact that the WWE is an entertainment industry, the brilliance of the WWE locker room makes people believe that these stories are real. Along similar lines, the staff and peers of young Dominik Mysterio’s school got concerned about him owing to the stories they saw on TV.

Answering his questions, the Judgment Day member said it wasn’t just the kids who thought WWE was real, but even the adults. “At the time, my teachers were very concerned about my home life. They had no clue. They thought I was actually in this custody battle,” recalled Dominick.
Dominik revealed that his parents actually had to go down and speak with the staff regarding stuff. “They thought I had issues at home. But Mom and Dad had to go into school and talk to them and let them know it’s all good. It’s all part of a storyline,” said Dom.
