At just 23 years old, Dominik Mysterio is going to wrestle four-time world champion Seth Rollins at SummerSlam.
It will be Dominik's debut match in WWE as he looks to avenge his father, Rey Mysterio, who had his eye extracted at Extreme Rules.
Two weeks ago on RAW, Rollins suffered a brutal attack from a kendo stick at the hands of Dominik and when talkSPORT spoke to The Monday Night Messiah about it, he obviously had revenge on his mind.
"It was very unfortunate," Rollins started. "I certainly wasn’t expecting that and I wasn’t interested in getting beat with a kendo stick, but Dominik decided to make the first move, we got caught a little off-guard by Aleister Black and it allowed Dominik to grab a kendo stick and I’ll be the first to say he swung for the fences.
"Hopefully he did the damage he needed to do. He definitely put us in a bad spot and now we have no choice but to move forward with Dominik as our main focus.
"So as sad as that is for me to say, that’s where we are at right now."
Last night, Rollins got his revenge.
After beating Humberto Carillo on a match on RAW - that came straight after he and Dominik signed their contract to meet at SummerSlam - Murphy attacked Dominik at ringside.
From there, Rollins and Murphy - but predominantly Rollins - laid in 30 kendo stick strikes to Dominik and his war wounds were clear for all to see afterward.
SummerSlam will serve as Domink's in-ring debut not just in WWE, but anywhere. It was only in January this year that he officially reported to the Performance Center in Orlando to begin training with the company, although he had frequented the facility prior to that and trained with his legendary father.
He has also appeared in many WWE storylines. At the age of 8, Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero battled over the custody rights to Dominik - in storyline, of course - and he appeared during Rey's feud with the Straight Edge Society led by CM Punk.
More recently, Dominik got involved in Rey's WWE title match with Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series and has looked good in all of his outings.
