10 Times WWE Rewrote Their Own History

7. Eddie Guerrero is Dominik Mysterio's biological father

Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero’s feud took a personal turn in the Summer of 2005, when Latino Heat revealed his big ‘secret’ and confessed that he was the biological father of Rey’s son Dominik. 

As the story went, Guerrero sired a child while he and wife Vickie were on the outs. After Eddie proved unwilling to raise the boy himself, Mysterio and his wife Angie adopted him. 

The soap opera twist led to a Ladder Match for the custody of Dominik at SummerSlam 2005, which was won by Rey. He may have won custody, but according to the storyline, Dominik was Eddie’s biological child. 

Flash forward 15 years, Dom decided to get into the business himself and was paired with his actual biological father. 

WWE dropped the pretence that Dominik was a Guerrero by blood, while playfully referencing and poking fun at his previous kayfabe lineage. 

WWE obviously couldn’t perpetuate the falsehood following Eddie’s passing and weren’t going to meddle with a proper father-son team when Dominik stepped into the ring, but it was funny how such a major plot point was disregarded.
