#1 Reason why Rey Mysterio's son will not go to WWE NXT

Rey Mysterio and his son Dominik have been involved in an ongoing program with Seth Rollins and his disciples on WWE RAW. The Monday Night Messiah gravely injured Mysterio's eye on an episode of RAW and we saw Dominik come out last week to exact revenge.

It is clear by now that WWE is trying to mould Dominik into a future WWE Superstar, but unlike most rookies who start in NXT, Dominik will be allowed to bypass that route.

Here is what Tom Colohue has reported:

Well, my initial report was August 23rd 2019 as to Dominik Mysterio skipping NXT. To my knowledge, it was part of a conversation topic with Rey Mysterio. I don't know if it was part of his contract negotiation when he first signed up, but I do know it was wasn't long before we started to see Dominik appear on TV right after Rey signed.

Is Rey Mysterio responsible for Dominik's fast-tracked push?

To my knowledge, there were discussions at that time, and it is something of a favour to Rey to make sure Rey signed onto WWE, and because they do believe Dominik Mysterio would be that good.
