Dominik Mysterio
Obsah boxu
Dominik Óscar Gutiérrez (* 5. dubna 1997, San Diego), lépe známý pod svým ringovým jménem Dominik Mysterio, je americký profesionální wrestler působící ve společnosti WWE v rosteru Raw. Je synem legendárního luchadora Reye Mysteria a je považován za jednoho z největších a nejnenáviděnějších záporných postav (heelů) v moderním wrestlingu[1].
Je bývalým dvojnásobným šampionem NXT North American a spolu se svým otcem se stal historicky prvním šampionem v týmové soutěži tvořeným otcem a synem v historii WWE[2]. V současnosti je členem frakce The Judgment Day.
💼 Kariéra
👶 Počátky v WWE: Součást příběhu svého otce
Dominik se v programech WWE objevoval již jako dítě. Jeho nejznámější dětská role přišla v roce 2005, kdy se v pouhých osmi letech stal ústředním bodem příběhové linie mezi jeho otcem Reyem Mysteriem a jeho blízkým přítelem (a zároveň rivalem) Eddiem Guerrerem. Guerrero tehdy tvrdil, že je Dominikovým biologickým otcem, což vedlo k legendárnímu zápasu na SummerSlamu nazvanému "Ladder match for the custody of Dominik" (zápas se žebříky o opatrovnictví Dominika)[3].
🚀 Oficiální debut a tým s Reyem (2020–2022)
Poté, co se rozhodl pro kariéru wrestlera, začal trénovat pod vedením svého otce a Lance Storma. V roce 2020 se začal pravidelně objevovat po boku Reye Mysteria v jeho sporu se Sethem Rollinsem, který vyvrcholil Dominikovým oficiálním debutovým zápasem na SummerSlamu 2020. Ačkoliv prohrál, jeho výkon v "Street Fight" zápase byl velmi chválen[4].
V následujícím roce vytvořil se svým otcem stálý tým. V květnu 2021 na akci WrestleMania Backlash porazili Dolpha Zigglera a Roberta Roodea a stali se šampiony SmackDown Tag Team. Tím se zapsali do historie jako první otec a syn, kteří společně získali týmový titul v WWE[5].
Heel Turn and The Judgment Day (2022–present)
A pivotal moment in Dominik's career came at the Clash at the Castle premium live event in September 2022. During a tag team match where he teamed with his father and Edge against The Judgment Day (Finn Bálor, Damian Priest, and Rhea Ripley), Dominik shockingly turned on his partners. He delivered a low blow to Edge and a clothesline to his father, cementing his turn as a heel (villain) for the first time in his career[6]. He then officially joined The Judgment Day.
This heel turn completely revitalized his character. Under the tutelage of The Judgment Day, and especially his on-screen "Mami," Rhea Ripley, Dominik transformed from a clean-cut babyface into one of the most despised villains in the entire company. His gimmick became that of an arrogant, cowardly young man who hides behind his much stronger stablemates and constantly disrespects his legendary father.
"Dirty Dom": The Most Hated Man in Wrestling
His character work as "Dirty Dom" has been a massive success. He generates some of the loudest and most sustained boos from live audiences in modern wrestling history. Fans often boo him so loudly and for so long that he is unable to speak into the microphone, a reaction that has become a signature part of his act[7].
This newfound persona led to significant in-ring success:
- In July 2023, he won his first singles title, the NXT North American Championship, by defeating Wes Lee. His reigns with the title significantly boosted the ratings for WWE's developmental brand, NXT, as he regularly appeared on all three of WWE's main shows (Raw, SmackDown, and NXT)[8].
- His storyline with his father culminated in a highly personal and emotional match at WrestleMania 39. Rey Mysterio defeated his son in a critically acclaimed match that was one of the highlights of the event[9].
