Dominik Mysterio visits Eddie Guerrero’s grave with WWE IC title belt

Ahead of WWE Raw taking place in Phoenix, Arizona tonight, Dominik Mysterio made a special visit to pay tribute to Eddie Guerrero.

Mysterio brought his Intercontinental title belt to Guerrero’s grave in Scottsdale, sharing a photo of the moment on social media. It was a visit Mysterio has been planning for weeks, with him telling the Intoxicados Podcast last month that he was hoping to have the time before tonight’s Raw.

“We have a show coming up in Phoenix, so I plan on taking this bad boy and seeing him,” Mysterio said. “I think that’s on the 9th. So I’m going to try and make some time if I get in in time before Raw. I’m going to try and make the time to go and see him, for sure.”

November 13 of this year will mark the 20th anniversary of Guerrero’s death. As one of Rey Mysterio’s closest friends, Guerrero was like an uncle to Dominik when he was growing up. Guerrero and Dominik also shared a bond on WWE television during the 2005 storyline where Guerrero claimed to be Dominik’s real father.

Dominik won the Intercontinental title at WrestleMania 41 this April and is coming off a successful defense against Lucha Libre AAA wrestler Octagon Jr. at Money in the Bank.

The IC title is the first main roster singles gold that Dominik has held. Guerrero had two IC title reigns during his Hall of Fame career.
