Dominik Mysterio Reveals Why He Attacked Rey Mysterio On Thanksgiving

Don't put your Christmas tree up before the start of December if Dominik Mysterio is around.

Dominik and Rhea Ripley attacked his father Rey Mysterio on Thanksgiving, forcing their way into the family home before the younger Mysterio attacked Rey's injured foot with a broom.

Dom explained his actions on WWE's The Bump, revealing that he took out his father because Rey put up his Christmas tree before November was over and he was sick of living in his shadow.

"Because he had his Christmas tree up before November was over. Honestly, he doesn't deserve to just be living peacefully, you know. I had to live with his shadow my whole life, so I'm hoping to cast a big shadow over him and just keep torturing him as much as I can," Mysterio said.

Rhea Ripley then added: "It was great. We went in there, trying to be nice, trying to be civil. We were hoping that we could have a nice little family get-together and just have Thanksgiving together, enjoy it. But Rey once again shut the door on Dominik. He disrespected myself and Dominik by closing that door, so I wasn't having it. Then of course, he called me a name, and Dominik snapped. I mean, that's what happens when you're a bad influence in front of the children at the table. He's trying to take the spotlight for himself, and we're not gonna stand for it."

Dominik previously teamed with his father in WWE but he turned on Rey at Clash at the Castle in September. The younger Mysterio then aligned with Judgment Day, finally giving in to Rhea Ripley's advances.
