In a stunning return to WWE Monday Night RAW on November 3, 2025, WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio made his long-awaited return after a seven-month injury hiatus, immediately facing his estranged son, Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio, in an explosive segment that has reignited their bitter family feud.
The Rio Rancho Events Center in New Mexico erupted when Dominik, fresh from retaining his title in a Triple Threat Match in Saturday night’s Main Event against Penta and Rusev, arrogantly declared himself the “King of the Fighters” and the greatest Mysterio of all time.
Boasting his two championships (the WWE Intercontinental and AAA Mega titles), Dominik demanded the crowd bow down, claiming that no one on the planet could stop him.
That’s when Rey’s iconic music played, sending shockwaves through the arena and marking her first WWE appearance since suffering a torn groin and ruptured eardrum in April.
The 50-year-old legend, known as the Master of 619, stormed into the ring, visibly emotional but resolute, accusing Dominik of insulting the Mysterio family legacy and the sacred tradition of wrestling.
Rey mentioned icons like El Santo, Blue Demon and the late Eddie Guerrero, stating that they were far superior wrestlers.
Dominik responded defiantly, telling Rey to keep “his father’s” name (referring to Eddie Guerrero in a controversial nod to past stories) out of his mouth and insisting that he surpassed them all, including his own father.
He even mocked Rey for “stealing” his mustache style, escalating the personal jabs.
As tensions rose, Dominik ordered Rey out of “his ring,” but the veteran stood his ground and delivered a heartfelt but cutting promo: As long as he is around, Dominik will never be the king of wrestlers, this will never be his ring, and he will never be the best Mysterio.
The crowd chanted “Shout his ass!” As Rey dropped his microphone and turned to leave, only for Dominik to attempt a cheap shot from behind.
In an instant, Rey counterattacked, unleashing a devastating pair of scissors that sent Dominik reeling against the ropes, perfectly setting himself up for the signature 619 that he connected with thunderous impact.
The arena fell into a stunned silence as Dominik fell to the canvas, the shocking father-on-son assault echoing their turbulent history dating back to Dominik’s heel turn in 2022.
Fans watched in disbelief as Rey, perched on the top rope for a potential West Coast Pop, paused dramatically.
Instead of finishing the move, he jumped up, knelt next to his fallen son, and whispered six heartbreaking words that brought the entire venue, and millions of viewers at home, to tears: “I still love you, my son.”
Although the exact whisper was not captured on the microphone, lip readers and arena attendees confirmed the emotional plea, a raw moment of fatherly love amid the chaos that humanized the high-flying icon.
Dominik, stunned and humiliated, rolled out of the ring and backed up the ramp, clutching his abdomen as boos rained down.

This marked Rey’s ruthless but tender return, combining aggression with vulnerability in a segment that has been hailed as one of RAW’s most memorable in years.
The confrontation not only humiliated the arrogant “Dirty” Dom, but also set the stage for what could be an epic rematch, with rumors of a possible clash at Survivor Series on November 29 in Rey’s hometown of San Diego.
Rey Mysterio’s absence was due to serious injuries sustained in a six-man match, which required surgery and sidelined him during key events like WrestleMania 41.
During his recovery, he appeared in non-wrestling related roles for AAA, even presenting the Mega Championship to Dominik after losing a bet, which ironically fueled his son’s ego.
Now fully cleared and medically ready, Rey’s return couldn’t have been more timely or impactful, proving that age is just a number for the ultimate underdog.
Social media exploded after the show, with #ReyReturns and #MysterioFeud trending around the world as fans debated the emotional depth of the whisper.
Many praised Rey for showing that beneath the mask lies the unbreakable bond of a father, even as he delivered the 619 with precision and power.
WWE officials confirmed that the segment was unscripted in its intensity, allowing real emotions to shine through the ongoing story.

This latest chapter adds layers to the Mysterio saga, which included Dominik’s betrayal, WrestleMania showdowns, and tag team triumphs that turned sour.
As Dominik continues his reign as top heel alongside the remnants of The Judgment Day, Rey’s presence threatens to derail his momentum.
Will this lead to Dominik losing the Intercontinental title, or will “Dirty” Dom seek revenge?
The wrestling world is abuzz and with Survivor Series approaching, the rivalry between father and son is far from over.
Rey Mysterio’s shocking 619 and tear-jerking whisper have reminded everyone why he is a legend, not only for his dominance in the ring, but also for his heart.
This RAW moment will be replayed for years, capturing the essence of WWE: high-stakes drama mixed with raw humanity.
As the dust settles, one thing becomes clear: the elder Mysterio has returned and is ready to fight for his legacy and his son.
