Dominik Mysterio Was Told That Reaction To His AAA Debut Was So Loud That It Blew Out Cameras’ Speakers

Mysterio speaks about the reaction he received.

It was in July 2025 that Dominik Mysterio debuted for AAA and set his sights on the Mega Championship. Present day, Mysterio is the Mega Champion and is heading into a title defense at Rey de Reyes against El Hijo del Vikingo.

Ahead of the bout, Mysterio appeared on The Collection with Brad Gilmore. During the chat, Mysterio looked back on his AAA debut and stated that no one knew he was coming. He showed up at the venue 15 minutes after showtime.

Mysterio went on to say that, although he does not know this as fact, he was told that the reaction he received at that AAA show blew out the cameras’ speakers.

“You wanna know something crazy? I think the wildest one for me was showing up in AAA for the first time in Juan de la Barrera… Obviously, winning my I.C. Championship at WrestleMania, insane. Beating John Cena (at) Survivor Series, insane. WrestleMania against my deadbeat dad two hours from San Diego in L.A., insane… The thing is all of those were very large, open stadiums. Like, massive, massive crowds. Juan de la Barrera, AAA, people weren’t expecting me… I think that show was on a Saturday. The show started at 8. I got to the arena at like 8:15. So, no one knew I was coming, and I showed up, it was insane. What I was told — this could all be bullsh*t — but I was told this: Allegedly, when they were recording, it was so loud that the speakers blew out of the cameras. They couldn’t capture the full audio of it because it was so loud, and it gave me goosebumps and for me, it was just something that I always wanted to do and it was like wrestle in Mexico with AAA, and getting that reaction, showing up randomly, out of nowhere, nobody knew about it. It was f*cking insane, and showing up with the I.C. Championship too, of all things.”

Mysterio’s bout against Vikingo at Rey de Reyes has the stipulation that if Mysterio loses, he must leave AAA.
