Carlito says Dominik Mysterio has escaped Rey Mysterio’s shadow

Posted: Nov 12th 2026 By: Shounak Chakribarti

Former WWE and Judgment Day member Carlito now believes Dominik Mysterio has been able to escape his father Rey’s shadow.

Recently, speaking on Hitting The Turnbuckle Podcast, Carlito praised former Judgment Day teammate Dominik Mysterio for his rise as a singles star, rather than simply relying on being Rey Mysterio’s son. Carlito believes the younger Mysterio has done a great job getting out of his father’s shadow.

“Yeah, I think he used to be Rey Mysterio’s kid. Now he’s Dominik Mysterio. Him being Rey’s kid is like a second thing now. So, yeah, I’m happy for him.”

“I think he’s done a great job of getting out of his dad’s shadow. Which is a hell of a shadow to get out of, you know what I mean? So good for him,” Carlito further added. The wrestling veteran also believes that both Mysterio and Roxanne Perez are capable of becoming World Champions.
