In a shocking turn of events that sent ripples through the wrestling world, Dominik Mysterio, the rising WWE superstar, has bid farewell to his iconic mustache. The news broke during his recent appearance on The Ringer Wrestling Show, where he unveiled a stubble ’stache look, leaving fans buzzing with questions.

“I had an unfortunate accident,” Mysterio said with a laugh. “It was my own doing, unfortunately.” As the hosts gasped in disbelief, Mysterio told the story of what happened when he tried to groom himself. The mustache, which had become synonymous with his villainous persona, seems to have gone too far under Mysterio’s razor.

“It was getting a little long, coming on the lips a little bit,” Dominik Mysterio explained. “I went to shave, and I don’t shave very often, so I kind of just… went a little too much in it, took off like half a bit.” The result? Obviously, a look Mysterio deemed “too stupid” to keep.

The hosts, David Shoemaker and Kazeem Famuyide, couldn’t help but marvel at how much attention had been brought to Mysterio’s facial hair. “It’s funny how much attention a little facial hair can get,” Shoemaker remarked, highlighting the current “facial hair-heavy era” of professional wrestling. Mysterio acknowledged that the mustache had taken on its own life before talking about what happened to his character over the past year.

From clean-shaven to mullet-and-mustaches-guy-who-fights with a kendo stick guy, his character evolution has captivated some parts of the wrestling world and infuriated others. When asked how much of that was planned versus spontaneous, Mysterio revealed, “It’s honestly a little bit of the second one.”

The Mustache’s Return: Dominik Mysterio’s promise to the wrestling world

He admitted that he often makes random stylistic choices without understanding the full scope of their impact. “I just kind of do ’em,” Mysterio confessed. “And then this whole thing with the mustache, I was like, ‘Man, I just don’t wanna shave this week.’” And so, a legend was born.

The hosts also touched upon the Eddie Guerrero comparisons that have followed Dominik Mysterio throughout his career. Famuyide noted that Mysterio has been “follically blessed” during this run, which is very much in line with Eddie’s iconic look. To which Mysterio responded, quick as ever, with a playful jab: “At this point, I just question my mom. I just don’t know what’s going on, you know?”

The interview concluded with Mysterio reaffirming that the mustache’s absence is only temporary. “Don’t worry though,” with a chuckle, he assured fans that the mustache would make a triumphant return in two weeks, “the legend of the mustache will be back.”

In the meantime, one can’t help but wonder: Is this just another spontaneous decision by Dominik Mysterio, or is there a deeper meaning behind the mustache’s sudden disappearance? Time holds the answer to that. Until then, the wrestling world will eagerly await the return of this hairy symbol of Mysterio’s villainous reign.
