Dominik Mysterio faces Penta, Finn Balor, and Bron Breakker in a WrestleMania 41 fatal four-way for the Intercontinental Championship, with Rey Mysterio watching ringside.
Dominik Mysterio is about to test his mettle big time at WrestleMania 41, entering a high-stakes fatal four-way for the Intercontinental Championship. With heavy hitters like Penta, his Judgment Day teammate Finn Balor, and reigning champ Bron Breakker in the ring, it's fair to say the deck is stacked pretty high against him.
Dominik’s journey to this point has been anything but smooth—he’s struggled to get the upper hand in previous clashes with these three rivals. But the real family drama isn’t just in the ring. Rey Mysterio, his legendary father, will be ringside, watching closely. Fans will remember, the two have actually faced off at the last two WrestleManias, turning their family feud into one of WWE’s most talked-about storylines. Still, Rey makes it clear: his pride for his son transcends any on-screen rivalry.
"Man, it’s incredible," Rey shared in Las Vegas after a WrestleMania After Dark event, clearly moved. "Words can’t express how I feel—I try to separate the storyline from how I actually feel as a father. The amount of pride that I feel to see his growth and everything he’s done in such a short amount of time is incredible."
Rey went on to say that Dominik’s execution and discipline in the ring are thanks to his mom’s upbringing, but that the wrestling talent? That’s pure Mysterio DNA. "There’s no doubt he’s meant to be a WWE superstar."
Dominik’s already got gold on his resume, having won a tag-team championship with his dad and two NXT North American titles. But the Intercontinental Championship is another level—and Breakker, who’s held the title since October 2024 after beating Jey Uso, isn’t about to give it up easily.
All eyes will be on this high-drama showdown, and while family pride is on display, you can bet the competitive fire will be burning hotter than ever.

It’s not every day you see a father rooting for his son to clobber the competition on live TV after having thrown him around the ring himself. Only in WWE can a family therapy session come with pyrotechnics and a championship belt.
