Key Points:
- Rey Mysterio believes his son Dominik, despite being the AAA Mega Champion, should not be considered a true luchador because he never trained in the traditional lucha libre style or system.

- Rey emphasizes that being a luchador involves a deep, challenging journey rooted in Mexican wrestling culture, which Dominik has not experienced despite his championship status.
- WWE's tournament to determine Roman Reigns' next challenger includes authentic luchadores like Penta and Dragon Lee, but Dominik was excluded, aligning with Rey's perspective on what defines a true luchador.
- Rey's comments highlight a distinction between holding a major championship and genuinely embodying the lucha libre tradition, sparking debate over Dominik's place in the lucha wrestling world.
