WWE has done a great job of building certain storylines and feuds over the past few months that have got the fans invested. Many factions and superstars have been booked to their potential, which has excited the fans. One of the more intense personal feuds that they have given fans is the Mysterio family angle. After turning on his father and joining the Judgement Day faction, Dominik has been a constant thorn in his father’s side.
To avoid wrestling his son, the legendary luchador moved to SmackDown, leaving Dominik on RAW. But Dominik seems to be determined to goad his father into wrestling him. He was at it once again after he and Ripley showed up at the Mysterios’ family house on Christmas Eve.
