Throughout 2018, Aliyah continued losing to various opponents. In September, Aliyah was officially working as a heel and had started a short alliance with fellow wrestler Lacey Evans. The duo was handed a tag team match in which they were victorious, marking Al-Areebi’s (Aliyah’s) first victory in over a year.

After making her debut for the Pure Wrestling Association in 2014, she won the PWA Woman’s Championship and got everyone’s attention. Her fame in the Amateur wrestling scene is what drew WWE’s attention towards this undiscovered gem.

She hasn’t had much success as a professional wrestler yet and seems to have setbacks every other appearance that is halting her rise as a fan favorite. However, there is still time for the 26-year-old Aliyah as she can still turn her career around and as every WWE fan knows, it only takes one match to do so.

Denika Kisty Relationship

It was, in fact, during their college days when Denika Kisty and Jason Williams got to know each other, as both went to the same university in Florida. The two seemed instantly attracted to each other and started dating.

However, they managed to keep their relationship a secret from everyone’s attention until the couple got married in September 2003.

Jason Williams was in his best years back then but was a humble man who always tried to avoid the spotlight, much like his wife, Denika Kisty.

The couple has three children, a son, Jaxon, who has followed in his father’s footsteps and is already the captain of his high school football team, and daughters, Mia and Nina.

Early Life

Former American football player Devale Ellis was born on April 2, 1984, in Brooklyn, New York, to his parents Troy and Karen Ellis. His father worked as a computer operator for a bank, while his mother was a project manager at the Department of Environmental protection. He went to the James Madison High School in Brooklyn where he completed his secondary schooling. From an early age, he was interested in playing football and basketball and surprisingly excelled in both. In his senior year at the school, he performed amazingly in the Public School Athletic League.

Being selected for Top Ten catches made and Top Ten touchdowns made by a wide receiver (the position he played in), he turned a lot of heads at a young age, earning him the nickname Devale “Show Time” Ellis.

 

College

After finishing high school,  Devale Ellis went to the Hofstra University in New York for higher education, where he continued to excel in football. He played with New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marques Colston who happened to be his college mate at the time. During his days at the university, Ellis made 176 catches and scored 22 points, averaging a 12.5 per-catch average. In 2005, as a senior member of the team, he took Hofstra University to better positions in competitions, making 74 acquisitions for 943 arm-span and scoring five. He was ranked 2nd in the Atlantic in receptions and 3rd in receiving yards. As a rookie, Devale Ellis took the team by the sails with his 74 catches and 13 touchdowns.

He was not selected in the drafts in the 2006 NFL drafts but was later hired as a free agent to play in the rookie minicamp by Detroit Lions. He was assigned to the Lions’ eight-man training squad. Although he showed promise in the opening game of the season, against Seattle Seahawks on September 9, 2006, he was soon deferred from the active roster and sent back to the training squad.

Physique

Unlike his father, Dominik Gutiérrez is a tall and muscular figure. While Rey was a man of small size and used his agility and wit to defeat much larger opponents like the Big Show, Dominik is a regular-sized WWE professional, standing at 6 ft 1 inch tall and weighing about 200 pounds. He has the physique to dominate opponents, not only with his wit but his sheer strength.

Career

Dominic started appearing multiple times alongside his father before making his in-ring debut. He would even sometimes interfere in matches to help his father secure a win. In May 2020 when his father lost an Eye for an Eye match against Seth Rollins, Dominik Gutiérrez vowed to take revenge, thus challenging Rollins for a battle, which he was granted on the stage of WWE SummerSlam 2020.

Dominik Gutiérrez lost his SummerSlam StreetFight to Rollins and was left utterly disappointed. He fought Rollins for the second time in WWE RAW but faced similar consequences. In late 2020, he was drafted into WWE SmackDown where he once again fought Rollins in a No Holds Bar match, which he won, ending the feud.

Making History

He then started performing in tandem with his father, Rey Mysterio, and the duo started appearing in various tag-team matches, in which they faced mixed results. Their most significant defeat came in Wrestlemania when they had to face defeat in a 4-way tag-team match. The father-son team worked hard to prepare for the next pay-per-view event of WWE Backlash, and despite having being attacked by Dolph Ziggler and Roode prior to the match, went on to win the WWE Tag Team Championship. Dominik Gutiérrez and Oscar Gutiérrez became the first father-son  tag team champions in WWE history.

Controversy

In 2005, he was part of a controversy in WWE when Rey Mysterio and Eddie Gurrero had a feud over who was Dominik Gutiérrez’s real father. Eddie Guerrero claimed to be the biological father to the child and had a fight with Rey Mysterio for the custody of Dominik Gutiérrez. Mysterio went on to win the match and secure custody of Dominik, which seems to be the truth as Dominik and his mother have confirmed that he is in fact Rey Mysterio’s son.

He has a Twitter account under his name but hasn’t been very active on it, and has only 200 followers. However, his Instagram on other hand has a whopping 440 thousand followers who stay tuned to his professional and personal updates.

 

Net worth

Dominik Gutiérrez became a celebrity kid when he started making cameos in the WWE. He has only started his professional career thus we can’t say for sure how much he accounts to. Given his salary, it’s safe to assume that he has personally accumulated wealth around $100,000 and is set to make a fortune out of his WWE career, just like his father, Rey, who is now worth $10 million and a household name amongst WWE fans.
