It’s been reported that WWE has told Rey Mysterio that his son Dominik will be moving on from their partnership as the company seeks to make him a singles star.
There have been numerous reports citing WWE’s plans to split the father-and-son duo and, late last year, it was even suggested that they will end up feuding.

According to Wrestling Observer Radio’s Dave Meltzer, Rey was informed of the decision to have Dominik fight on his own while he was getting stem cell treatment.
“There’s been a lot of talk of splitting them up for like months…even when Aalyah was around, when they were doing the tension between Rey and Dominik all the time and then they just dropped the ball every single time and they would forget about it and everything. They probably set up the split like 3 or 4 times,” Meltzer was quoted as saying by WrestleTalk.com.
“I know that they were told this time when Rey took the time off to get stem cell (therapy) and they did the injury angle with Dominik that ‘you know, we’re gonna have Dominik go on his own,’ which they have said before that they were gonna do that. But the problem is that Dominik on his own is gonna be dead. Rey will always be over because he’s Rey Mysterio but I don’t know that they will ever really do anything with him because between the size and the age.”
The Mysterios Are Back
The Mysterios returned to action this Monday after a bit of a hiatus, saving Mustafa Ali from Veer Mahaan.
Rey hadn’t wrestled since the loss to Paul Logan and The Miz at WrestleMania 38 alongside his son, while Dominik had been absent since taking a beatdown from Mahaan on April 11.
