On a recent episode of WWE The Bump podcast, Rey Mysterio appeared as the special guest for the show. During the interview, he said that he will gladly take away the North American Championship from his son’s waist if he gets to do it.

Ever since he betrayed his father at Clash of the Castles in September 2022, the two have not been on the same page. Dom-Dom left no stone unturned to humiliate his father and even tried to insult his mother once. Fed up with all the insults, ‘The Ultimate Underdog‘ stepped up and taught his son a lesson at WrestleMania 39 earlier this year.
