Dominik Mysterio is a WWE superstar who was, quite literally, raised inside a wrestling storyline. The son of lucha libre legend Rey Mysterio, he first appeared on WWE television as a child in 2005 — then debuted as a wrestler at SummerSlam 2020, betrayed his father, and became ‘Dirty Dom’, one of the most booed villains in the business.

Born into Lucha Royalty
Dominik Gutiérrez was born in San Diego in April 1997 to Rey Mysterio — real name Óscar Gutiérrez — and his wife Angie, and grew up around wrestling royalty, with the legendary Konnan as his godfather. WWE fans met him astonishingly early: in 2005, aged eight, he was the centre of the famous storyline in which Rey and Eddie Guerrero fought a ladder match for ‘custody’ of him at SummerSlam. He appeared at ringside for years afterwards, a childhood spent in arenas while other kids were at school fairs.
Debut and Tag Team Gold with Rey
After training with his father, Jay Lethal and others, Dominik made his WWE in-ring debut at SummerSlam 2020 against Seth Rollins — a remarkably high-profile first match, widely praised for a rookie. In May 2021 he and Rey won the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, becoming the first father-and-son tag team champions in WWE history. For two years the Mysterios were a feel-good act — which made what came next land even harder with audiences.
The Betrayal: Judgment Day and Prison Dom
At Clash at the Castle in September 2022, Dominik turned on his father and Edge, joining The Judgment Day faction alongside Rhea Ripley, Finn Bálor and Damian Priest. The soft-spoken son reinvented himself as an arrogant, mulleted villain; a Christmas 2022 storyline ‘arrest’ at his parents’ home birthed the beloved ‘Prison Dom’ persona. He lost to Rey in an emotional father-son match at WrestleMania 39, but the character work had done its job — no one in WWE drew louder boos.
Dirty Dom: Championship Years
The villainy started collecting titles: two reigns as NXT North American Champion in 2023 proved he could carry singles gold. At WrestleMania 41 in April 2025 he won the Intercontinental Championship, his first main-roster singles title; a 2025 series with John Cena — losing the belt to Cena in Boston, then winning it back at Survivor Series — made him a two-time champion, and in September 2025 he also captured the AAA Mega Championship in Mexico, honouring his lucha libre roots on both sides of the border.
The Cena chapter carried a symbolism nobody missed: the defining WWE hero of one generation completing his farewell-year Grand Slam against the son of his old rival Rey, then Dominik snatching the title back weeks later to keep his own ascent on schedule. Inside The Judgment Day, meanwhile, his on-screen partnership with Liv Morgan — after she replaced the injured Rhea Ripley in his affections at SummerSlam 2024 — kept him at the centre of Raw’s most-watched storyline, with the crowd’s deafening boos treated by WWE as the surest sign of a star doing his job properly.
Dominik Mysterio Net Worth
Dominik’s net worth is commonly estimated at around $2 million, reflecting his WWE contract and merchandise success — few performers move villain merchandise like ‘Dirty Dom’. Published figures are unofficial estimates based on typical WWE earnings for a featured star of his tenure; championship status and a marquee spot in The Judgment Day place him firmly in the company’s upper tier of earners under 30.
Personal Life
In March 2024 Dominik married Marie Juliette, his partner since they were teenagers — a high-school romance that predates his fame and contrasts with his on-screen persona, where his storyline ‘romance’ with Rhea Ripley (and later Liv Morgan) fuels the show. Off-screen he is close to his family despite the televised feud: the war with his father is professional theatre, rooted in one of wrestling’s genuine family businesses.
