Dominik Mysterio reportedly frustrated by WWE booking vs AAA status

Dominik Mysterio is reportedly frustrated by the discrepancy in his character presentation between WWE and Lucha Libre AAA. While he is portrayed as a serious top star and the reigning AAA Mega Champion in Mexico, his recent WWE storylines have leaned toward comedy, such as his recent loss to Danhausen in a 'Human Monies On A Pole' match at SummerSlam.

Mysterio has expressed a desire for more consistency, seeking a more serious portrayal on WWE television to match his status in AAA. He has also suggested greater crossover opportunities between the two promotions, including involving members of his Judgment Day stable.

In AAA, Mysterio is preparing for a high-profile defense of the AAA Mega Championship against El Grande Americano at Triplemanía 34, which will take place in September 2026 across locations in Nevada and Mexico City. Meanwhile, AAA has announced a tournament featuring stars from both promotions to determine a number one contender for Roman Reigns' championship.

Additionally, Rey Mysterio recently discussed the physical toll of his career, noting he retired the diving seated senton due to repeated stress on his knee. Separately, AAA star El Hijo del Vikingo is undergoing rehabilitation following ACL surgery, with a projected nine-month recovery period.
