Finn Balor didn’t wait long to start getting under Dominik Mysterio’s skin after their WWE WrestleMania 42 match was officially announced on Raw. The following day, Balor took to social media to fire a pointed shot at his former Judgment Day stablemate — one that lands with particular sharpness given the well-documented history between Dominik and his father Rey Mysterio.
“The only thing worse than getting whipped by your dad is getting whipped by your step dad,” Balor wrote.
Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio’s WrestleMania 42 Match Stems From Balor’s Judgment Day Expulsion
The comment references the infamous moment where Rey Mysterio used a belt to discipline Dominik during one of their confrontations — a moment that became one of the most talked-about segments in recent WWE television history. Balor positioning himself as the step-dad figure in this dynamic adds a creative layer to the WrestleMania 42 build that is entirely in keeping with his sharp-tongued social media presence. The match was confirmed during Monday’s Raw following Balor’s expulsion from The Judgment Day earlier this month, turning a long-simmering internal faction tension into a full WrestleMania showdown between two former allies.
