Rey Mysterio’s Daughter Aalyah Begins Training at WWE Performance Center, Potential Historic Wrestling Legacy

Rey Mysterio, WWE Hall of Famer and AAA general manager, revealed his daughter Aalyah is training at the WWE Performance Center, potentially joining her father and brother in the ring, according to an appearance on *The Undertaker’s Six Feet Under* podcast.

Aalyah’s Training and Family Legacy

Aalyah, who graduated from the University of California, San Diego with a degree in human biology in July 2023, has completed multiple two-week tryouts at the WWE Performance Center and is now committing to full-time training, Mysterio confirmed. “She did two weeks, and she really loved it,” he said. “I wasn’t expecting that.” Aalyah first entered the ring in October 2023, returned in February 2024, and began training full-time in May 2024, according to the podcast.

Mysterio emphasized that neither he nor his wife, Angie, pressured Aalyah into wrestling. “The cool thing is, I’ve never pushed the sport down their throat. It’s all come out of them,” he said. The 50-year-old legend expressed excitement about the possibility of a father-daughter tag team, noting the rarity of such a dynamic in wrestling history. “We’ve had so many dynasties, but I don’t know if there’s ever been a father wrestler who shared the ring with both his son and daughter in the same match,” he said.

Dominik’s Transformation: From College Dropout to AAA Mega Champion

Mysterio reflected on his son Dominik’s evolution from a directionless college student to the AAA Mega Champion and WWE’s most polarizing heel. “He just got lazy after graduating, and pulled my sides, like, ‘bro, what are you doing with your life?’” Mysterio recalled. Dominik’s decision to separate from his father’s influence allowed him to carve out his own identity, culminating in his 2023 AAA title win. “The best thing for him to have done was to detach from his own father and embrace that character,” Mysterio said.

Dominik, 24, has become a central figure in WWE’s dark roster, often clashing with his father in high-stakes matches. Despite their on-screen rivalry, Mysterio noted that Dominik still seeks his advice, though he ultimately makes his own decisions.

Rey Mysterio’s Hall of Fame and WWE Career

Mysterio was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2018, a year after teaming with Dominik in a WrestleMania 34 match. He remains the only active Hall of Famer in WWE, continuing to compete while serving as AAA’s general manager. “I wasn’t ready to retire,” Mysterio said of his initial reaction to the induction. “But Hunter [Triple H] clarified it was about timing, not retirement.”

Mysterio’s career spans three decades, marked by his iconic lucha libre style and influence on Hispanic representation in WWE. He credited Kurt Angle and Eddie Guerrero for mentoring him during his 2002 WWE debut, helping him transition from a fast-paced WCW style to a more storytelling-focused approach.

The Undertaker’s Reflections and Health Journey

In a candid conversation, The Undertaker admitted responsibility for breaking Mysterio’s nose during their 2002 match in Cleveland. “There were three of you, do I pick the one in the middle?” he joked. Mysterio, who later underwent stem cell treatments to address chronic pain, shared his own health strategies, including daily cold plunges. The Undertaker, who competed until age 54, detailed his Birmingham hip resurfacing procedures and acknowledged the challenges of aging in the ring.

Rey Mysterio’s Future: AAA, Family, and New Projects

Mysterio, who celebrated 30 years of marriage to Angie in 2024, remains focused on his role in AAA and his family. He highlighted rising stars like Dragon Lee and Hijo del Vikingo as the next generation of talent. “There would be no Rey Mysterio without Psicosis,” he said, paying tribute to his early partner.

He also announced plans to repurchase his animated series *Rey Mysterio vs. The Darkness*, which aired in Latin America in 2023, and seek a U.S. distributor. The 10-episode season, which Mysterio voiced in both English and Spanish, is set for a potential global release.
