Dominik Mysterio held back.
Rey Mysterio picked up a victory over his son Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania 39, finally getting some revenge on his son after months of verbal and some physical abuse.
On Friday's WWE SmackDown, Dominik Mysterio claimed he held back against his father and, in Spanish, questioned his dad's tactics by saying, “What kind of father smacks his son in the ass with a belt in front of millions of people?"
The crowd in Portland did not buy Dominik's excuse or anything he had to say, booing him so loudly that he could barely speak.

Dominik got one back on Rey and his new friend Santos Escobar as he and Damian Priest teamed to defeat Rey & Escobar in a tag team bout.
Before the bout, Priest addressed Bad Bunny, who he teamed with at WrestleMania 37, but chokeslammed through a table on Monday's Raw after Bunny punched Dominik. Priest said that Bunny is friend, but Dominik is his brother.
