THE BACKSTORY : JESSICA WOLF ORTON
Dominik Mysterio x Reader :
The moment you debuted on NXT your life changed and some will say for the better but to you? It was some of the toughest times ever.
Not because you finally made it to the biggest pro wrestling company, no- that was besides the point. Your life changed because after 28 years, you finally found out who your biological father was.
Who would’ve thought, this dream that you had since the age of 6 would introduce to you, your father and the love of your life.
“Mom, I promise I’ll be okay.” You say as you wrap your mom in a hug.
“Pero mija, te tengo que decir algo muy importante.” She looks at you with worry.
She takes in a deep sigh, “I have to tell you who your father is, you nee-”
You immediately cut her off. “Mom” you shake your head, “I don’t want to know, I told you this when I was ten and I told you when I turned 18. If he thought being away was a good idea, then I don’t need to know who he is.”
“No mom, I think I’m fine with not knowing. I have been fine for a while now, now is the time for you to be fine and heal. He’s a piece of shit for not wanting to be present, none of it is your fault.” I smile sadly at her.
“Eres muy necia, but I can’t convince you to do anything you don’t want to do.” She pats your cheek.
You nod “Plus, I’ve had the most amazing wonderful uncles to raise me and teach me everything I know.” You shrug “I don’t need a deadbeat dad in my life”
“Jessica, eso no se dice” your uncle's voice comes from behind you.
You turn around and smile “What? I didn’t say anything wrong.”
He shakes his head “I can’t believe two of my favorite kids are in WWE now.”
“Following up after your footsteps, but no one can do it like you.” You say.
He shrugs, “So I told Dominik if you two ever cross paths, to take you under his wing and show you around.”
You sigh “Tio Rey, I don’t need a babysitter. Plus, I don’t even know Dominik like that, I don’t know, it’ll be weird.”
“No, you know what’s weird? All these years, and you and Dominik have never met.” Aaliyah, your best friend, your uncle's daughter says.
See, Rey Mysterio, the legendary masked wrestler, he isn’t your uncle by blood. He’s your uncle by choice, he knows who your biological father is and he just felt the need to take you under his wing, along with the likes of The Hardy’s and Dave Bautista.
Granted he didn’t show up until you were 10 years old, but ever since, he’s been nothing but supportive. Aaliyah is correct though, so many years of being in each other's lives, you have never once met Dominik Mysterio.
When you got into wrestling, he was ending his teaching and he was ready for his big come up in the main roster, mind you it was during the pandemic but it was still very much amazing seeing and following his career.
You “Ali, he’s just busy and very much out there so i totally understand why we have never met.”
Aaliyah nods “I just know if you two do ever meet, you’ll be inseparable.”
You laugh “Then maybe it is a good thing.”
Rey rolls his eyes “ Careful little trouble, knowing you and Dom, I know you two can get into a mess and wreck havoc in WWE.”
You shrug, “I’m just focused on me and my career.”
And that you did, you debuted in NXT two months later and you have been unstoppable. You defeated Jacy Jayne’s legendary title reign, then you went along and had your own title reign that lasted a little over 3 years.
Three years and four months is how long you were in NXT, knocking out bitches and making a name for yourself. Until one Monday night, your boss Shawn Michaels tells you to get ready to answer Becky Lynch’s open challenge for the Women’s Intercontineltal Championship.
You couldn’t believe it when the reff yelled 1,2,3, and the bell rang and you heard those words “AND NEW WOMEN’S INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION.”
You had to hold it together and not cry in front of the entire WWE Universe. You were completely shocked that you won your first match, and your first championship on day one of being on the main roster. You dreamt of this moment since you were 15 years old, training with your uncles. Now, you get to go backstage and show it off and embrace it.
As soon as you make it back in gorilla and behind curtains, you fall to a chair nearby and just hold the championship to your chest, you let the tears flow.
You nod, “T-thank you” you lift up your head and see Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio.
