At Survivor Series in 2019 Brock Lesnar defended the WWE Championship against Rey Mysterio in a No Holds Barred match, and even though Rey didn’t walk out with the belt the match did get a lot of people talking.
Rey’s son Dominik Mysterio decided to interfere in the match and hit Brock Lesnar with a double 619, and during an appearance on the Start Today podcast Rey said that after the match WWE started to take notice of Dominik.
“This is just my assumption, but based on what happened that night, that’s when the interest really started to flow with WWE. We knew you [Dominik] wanted to end up at the Performance Center to start training, but everything started to evolve after that night,” said Rey on the Start Today podcast.
Dominik Mysterio made quite the impression during the match, and he revealed that Brock Lesnar was surprised by his performance.
“After I got my ass beat, I went to say thank you to every. I remember Brock telling me that he was surprised because I knew more than he thought I was going to. With how I placed myself and things I would do to feed into things. I don’t think they were expecting me to know what I was doing. That was really cool right off the bat.”
