Summary

Dominik Mysterio is still finding new ways to needle Rey Mysterio ahead of WrestleMania 42.

While appearing on ESPN's Get Up, Dominik reacted to Rey being added to the multi-man ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship and said he hopes his father goes through "a couple ladders." He then tied the joke back to one of the longest-running bits in their family feud, saying he wishes his custody papers were hanging above the ring so he could win them.

The line fits the same mocking tone Dominik has used throughout his issues with Rey, even with WrestleMania bringing bigger stakes into the picture. Rey has already spoken about why the danger is worth it in that title match, as seen in his comments about the WrestleMania 42 ladder match risk.

Quote from Dominik Mysterio

"I hope he goes through a couple ladders. I hope, I mean- I wish my custody papers are up there so I can go and win them. So he'd never won custody of me. But yeah, I definitely hope he goes through a couple ladders for sure."

What Rey and Dominik Mysterio still add to WrestleMania season

Dominik turning Rey's Intercontinental title match into another custody joke shows how durable that father-son rivalry still is, even when they are not booked against each other. WWE can get extra mileage out of that history any time both men are tied to the same WrestleMania conversation.

It also keeps Dominik's character voice consistent heading into his own WrestleMania program with Finn Balor. Even in a short media appearance, he managed to make Rey's title opportunity feel like part of the larger Mysterio story rather than a completely separate track.
