– During today’s edition of WWE’s The Bump, Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley addressed their assault on Dominik’s father, Rey Mysterio, on Thanksgiving day. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):

Dominik Mysterio on why they attacked his father: “Because he had his Christmas tree up before November was over. Honestly, he doesn’t deserve to just be living peacefully, you know. I had to live with his shadow my whole life, so I’m hoping to cast a big shadow over him and just keep torturing him as much as I can.”

Rhea Ripley on attacking Mysterio: “It was great. We went in there, trying to be nice, trying to be civil. We were hoping that we could have a nice little family get together and just have Thanksgiving together, enjoy it. But Rey once again shut the door on Dominik. He disrespected myself and Dominik by closing that door, so I wasn’t having it. Then of course, he called me a name, and Dominik snapped. I mean, that’s what happens when you’re a bad influence in front of the children at the table. He’s trying to take the spotlight for himself, and we’re not gonna stand for it.”

Dominik on following Ripley’s lead: “I don’t know. I take it day by day. I don’t know if we’re gonna be welcomed at my household for Christmas. But we’re gonna have to see what’s up. I kinda just go based off of what Mami likes to do. Whatever she has planned is what we’ll do.”
