Rey Mysterio Provides Major Update On Daughter’s Wrestling Future
After Dominik Mysterio, Rey Mysterio’s daughter, Aalyah, might soon join the wrestling business full time.
Aalyah has previously spent time training at the Dungeon 2.0 alongside Natalya, TJ Wilson, Rey, and other WWE talents. The session was viewed as a brief trial rather than anything long-term.
During the February 18, 2026 episode of What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes, Rey Mysterio stated that there is a possibility that his daughter may pursue wrestling full-time.
Rey Mysterio Says Aalyah is “Natural” Inside The Ring
Aalyah spent time training at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, where her father noted she was a “natural” and impressed him during her first sessions.
“Right before I got cleared from my injury, I went to the PC in Orlando. My daughter had been asking me, ‘Dad, I want to jump in the ring. I want to see what it’s like.’ I told her we’d do it when she graduated. So she graduated in June, and we flew up there on a Wednesday.”
“I was thinking, there’s no way this is her first time stepping in the ring. She had a natural connection with positioning and hitting the ropes. I was like, that is scary crazy. She got in there with me to feel what it was like, to feel the mat and the ropes.”
Rey Mysterio added that Aalyah is indeed curious about the wrestling business, but she’ll first have to go through a more serious training routine to determine whether this is something she genuinely wants to pursue long term.
“Later that day, we went to the Dungeon and she did a little bit there too. When we finished, she said, ‘I really enjoyed this. This is really fun.’ I was surprised because I thought she wouldn’t like it. The ropes are stiff and the bumps are hard. So I told her, ‘Okay, the next step is to see how you handle a full week of training. If you still like it after that, maybe it’s something you want to think about.’”
“So I’m actually trying to get her out there pretty soon so she knows what it’s like to train every day—wake up, work out all day, sleep, and then do it all over again. That’s intense. When I think about it, it scares me, but it also excites me.”
