We have not seen Rey Mysterio and his son Dominik on Monday Night Raw following Wrestlemania 38 season. Being two top superstars of WWE programming, fans were definitely concerned with their status in the company. It appears that an injury could have caused the absence. But most importantly, the two might finally get split up from being a tag team.
As noted, Rey Mysterio and Dominik were away from the storylines since April before showing up on the May 16 edition. While Dominik’s absence was blamed on the attack from Veer Mahaan on RAW, last month, his father was dealing with an injury. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that the Master of 619 has undergone more stem cell treatments for various injuries as of late.

It was noted that there have been pitches or at least some talk of Rey Mysterio and Dominik not being put together, moving forward. WWE previously teased an angle where Rey was leaving Dominik out on his own, but that idea was quickly dropped. If that angle is brought back then it will be interesting to see what young Dominik does on the main roster as a solo performer.

Time for Rey Mysterio and Dominik to go separate ways?
Ever since his debut on the main roster, Dominik has always been associated with his father. But the time has come, perhaps to get him as a singles performer. Here’s more from the story, as noted by the source,
“There is at least talk of them not being put together going forward, although, without the connection to Rey, there’s really not much they can do with Dominik on the main roster. They had built to an angle some time back where Rey basically told Dominik it’s time for him to go on his own, and then it was promptly forgotten.
And they’ve done a number of angles building to a split that were then dropped, so it appears when it comes to them, ideas are started and dropped all the time.”
Dominik has not wrestled since the loss to Veer Mahaan on the April 11 episode (before this week’s Raw) of Raw while Rey Mysterio has not wrestled since the WrestleMania 38 loss to Logan Paul and The Miz. Rey also digested a beatdown from Mahaan the week after the latter’s official re-debut during the Raw After WrestleMania.
Both Dominik and Rey Mysterio were also absent from Raw since that beatdown but they are back to continue their feud with Veer Mahaan as Ali was saved from a post-match attack. They won the SmackDown Tag Team Championship last year and thus became the first-ever father-son duo in WWE history to capture tag team titles.
