Dominik Mysterio versus Eddie Guerrero
Yes, I went for the easy one. So what?
Young Mysterio is highly reminiscent of Eddie’s 2000s look. He even copied the storyline Eddie Guerrero shared with Chyna, as seen in the early Judgment Day saga with Rhea Ripley. Moreover, Dominik has excelled in the years after a rocky, rocky start. Starting as a bland tag team babyface with father Rey, Dom’s turn to the dark side allowed him to find a personality away from lucha royalty.
Growing his hair out, adopting a mustache, wearing black, purple, and white, and dripping in legions of tattoos, Dominik became something else, something more expressive of who he is away from his kayfabe deadbeat dad, Rey Mysterio. Coupled with an improved quality in work rate, he’s been a reliable worker for newer or returning talent.

It’s so easy to boo Dominik. I’m not even sure Eddie at his heeliest would have been able to gather such volatile outcry from attending fans. This would be a simple yet entertaining angle to book. I can picture Guerrero complaining, “I’m not even your real dad!” But moreover, with all the laughs, they could explore some deeply personal areas in promos and matches. Since Eddie was captivating on the mic, the chemistry would have been there.
