Rey & Dominik Mysterio made history at WrestleMania Backlash, defeating Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode to not only become the new SmackDown Tag Team Champions, but also the first-ever father-son Tag Team Champions.
Before their unforgettable triumph, Rey ran into another father-son duo and made a dream come true, snapping a photo with lineal heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury and his son Prince John James.
Fury confirmed Sunday that he would fight Anthony Joshua for the undisputed heavyweight championship on Aug. 14 in Saudi Arabia.
In addition to being undefeated in the boxing ring, Fury has shown he can hold his own in WWE. He also might not be the only Fury interested in stepping inside the squared-circle, raising the possibility of another father-son championship pairing down the road.
Meanwhile, WWE Superstars and personalities reacted to the Mysterios’ awe-inspiring victory.
