Rey Mysterio was revealed as the first entrant into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2023, and now we know that Konnan, Mysterio’s lifetime buddy, will be the one to do it. The revelation occurred during a recent Los Angeles Times piece about Mysterio’s induction into the WWE Hall of Fame. Konnan, who has known Mysterio since he was 11, is not only his old tag team partner and close buddy, but also the godfather of Rey Mysterio’s son, Dominik Mysterio. Also, Konnan is a former pro wrestler who has competed in a variety of companies, most notably All Elite Wrestling last year.
Konnan won several championships during his career, including the WCW World Television Title, the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship, and the WCW World Tag Team Championships, which he shared with Mysterio once. Mysterio began his wrestling career in 1989, but he joined WWE in 2002, where he would go on to win the WWE Championship, World Heavyweight Championship twice, WWE Cruiserweight Championship three times, WWE Intercontinental Championship twice, and WWE Tag Team Championship four times, to name a few.

WrestleMania 39 is less than a month away, but up until Friday night, we were in the dark regarding the 2023 WWE Hall of Fame class. But on Friday’s “SmackDown,” the illustrious luchador Rey Mysterio became our first official induction. Sadly, Dominik Mysterio and the rest of The Judgment Day stopped Rey before he had a chance to talk about the honor.
Legado Del Fantasma subsequently defended Rey, but they were unable to exact revenge as Dom won a six-man tag team fight by another pinfall. Dominik then aggravated his father once again. Rey dodged when Dominik attempted to attack him, sending him flying out of the ring. The father and son appear to be headed for a confrontation as WrestleMania weekend approaches.
