Rey Mysterio has revealed that his daughter Aalyah recently trained at the WWE Performance Center. As previously noted, Aalyah trained with her father and others at Natalya’s Dungeon earlier this month. Rey spoke with the Club 520 podcast and talked about Aalyah getting the chance to train at the PC in Orlando as well as Dominik’s rise in WWE to become Intercontinental Champion (and now AAA Mega Champion). You can check out the highlights below, courtesy of Fightful:

On Aalyah training at the PC: “My daughter, I just went out to the Performance Center in Orlando, the WWE Performance Center, and I had to go back in the ring, try get cleared from an injury my daughter had always had the curiosity to step in the ring so she goes when when are you taking me when he take me for about a year and a half so i said ‘okay I’m going to Orlando let’s go’, she went up with me she jumped in the ring and she loved it, man. She was hitting the ropes, rolling. I know you said the tumble. she was doing all that, like the generic stuff, basic stuff, beginner stuff. But, yeah, the ring brings it on another level, man. It’s crazy, especially the ropes. When you hit those ropes, she was all bruised from her back and shoulders.”

On Dominik becoming Intercontinental Champion: “Deep down in my thoughts, I’ve always said or knew that he was going to be something bigger than what I did. I didn’t know how. My wife was the first one to spot and point that she never saw him as the good guy. She always saw him as a bad guy in the ring, which now it makes complete sense. She spent more time with him than I did because I was traveling so much. She was mom and dad. But to see his growth over the past four years and how he just evolved into this character and embraced it and just now completely owns it is awesome, man. His confidence is… I wish I had some of that when I was his age, and I wish I knew what he knows now when I was his age. I had no clue. I was learning as I was going. But I think the huge factor in this is he was… he was thrown in right away to swim with sharks and he figured that out. He learned how to swim with sharks. So, you know, I think personally that’s why he’s in the spot that he’s in now.”
