Dominik Mysterio Names Backlash 2025 Gear As His Favorite So Far

Dominik Mysterio talks his wrestling gear.

Dominik Mysterio has had varying kinds of gear throughout his run in WWE, with many of them being tributes to wrestlers of the past. At Backlash 2025, Mysterio would wear tribute gear to his great uncle from year’s past.

While speaking on My Mom’s Basement in a new interview, Dominik was asked what his favorite gear of his career has been so far, naming his gear from his Intercontinental title defense against Penta at WWE Backlash 2025.

“Oh, man. I really enjoy.. I want to say the cow print that I wore against Penta at Backlash. That was one of my favorite gears. Only because when my gear guy, like, the inspiration came from, I believe it was TripleMania 3, right? Where my deadbeat dad and my great uncle, Rey Mysterio senior came out and they had like this cow print suits with like, it just looks so cool. So I was like, ‘man, I want to do something like that’, and he made me two sets. It was one that was like all black with like bigger spots of white and then the one that I wore that I really liked, which was like more like cow print, but also like dalmatian style. Like when I first saw it and I was like, this is terrible. I was like, ‘this is not what I wanted.’ I was like, ‘do you have anything more?’ I was like, this is not what I wanted, and he goes, ‘well, I already made the outfit.’ He goes, ‘just try it on and see what you think.’ I was like, ‘all right, fuck it. I was like, send it to me and we’ll see how it looks.’ Sure enough, when he sent it in person, I was like, this looks super dope in person, the material he used. It just looked really cool, and I was like, this is definitely one of my favorite ones.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Dominik reflected on his match with AJ Styles at SummerSlam 2025. You can read more about that here.
