The internet can be a wild place, and sometimes rumors can spread like wildfire without any basis in fact. This week, Dominik Mysterio, son of WWE superstar Rey Mysterio, took to social media to shut down a long-circulating rumor that has been making the rounds online. The rumor in question claimed that Rey Mysterio served as a stunt double for Robert Englund in the 2003 horror movie Freddy vs. Jason. But Dominik is here to set the record straight: it’s simply not true.
For those who may not be familiar, the rumor likely arose from Rey Mysterio’s Wikipedia page, which credits him as a stunt double for Robert Englund in the film. The height difference between the two men made the claim seem even more astonishing, and before long, the “fact” was being shared far and wide online. Furthermore, Rey Mysterio is also listed on IMDB as an uncredited “jumper” in the movie, which only added fuel to the fire.
However, Dominik Mysterio is having none of it. In a recent tweet, he shared a GIF of Dwight Schrute from The Office, accompanied by a simple “False.” It’s clear that while Rey Mysterio may have had some role in the movie, it had nothing to do with being Freddy’s stunt double.
While Dominik was busy setting the record straight on his father’s filmography, he’s also been making headlines for his own personal life. The young WWE star has been spotted getting cozy with Liv Morgan on WWE TV, and the rumors of a potential romance continue to swirl. Despite the mounting evidence – including a recent episode of RAW where Morgan was seen with Dominik’s bandana in her pocket – neither party has confirmed or denied the rumors.
It’s worth noting that Rey Mysterio has been embroiled in his own controversy as of late, facing off against Liv Morgan on WWE TV. Meanwhile, his son Dominik seems to be going his own romantic drama, with Rhea Ripley nowhere to be seen. As the saga continues to unfold, one thing is certain: the Mysterio family is never short on drama, both in and out of the ring.
