In the build-up to the US Title match, Rey re-introduced his son Dominick to the WWE Universe, revealing that Dominick would be sitting ringside for his bout against Joe on Sunday. Dominick was part of a 2005 storyline between Rey and Eddie Guerrero, where the latter claimed that he was Dominick's real father.

Fightful will continue to update fans on Mysterio's status for Sunday as more is known.
