Dominik Mysterio discusses his run with WWE.
The rising superstar, who is currently a member of Judgment Day, spoke with Inside The Ropes about his last three years with the company. Dominik debuted against Seth Rollins at SummerSlam 2020 during the COVID-19 outbreak. He tells Inside The Ropes that he was originally supposed to go to NXT after the Rollins match, but it never happened.
When I was offered this opportunity against Seth (Rollins at SummerSlam 2020), I knew that if I turned it down, there wasn’t gonna be another opportunity like this… and my dad told me, he was like, ‘This is completely up to you. If you wanna do it,’ he goes, ‘I can’t make your decision for you’ and I was like, ‘Yeah, I’ma do it.’ I was like, ‘I don’t know if this thing is gonna happen again or I’m gonna get the shot’ so I was like, ‘I’m gonna take it’ and he was like, ‘Alright, you think you’re ready?’ I was like, ‘We’ll see’ (he laughed). Afterwards too, I was supposed to go down to NXT and do the whole developmental thing and how the process is actually supposed to go. But, it just never happened so, and I never asked or complained.
Shifting subjects, Dominik talked about his epic feud with his father Rey Mysterio and the matchup they had at WrestleMania 39. He was really happy that they got to do an angle for the match at this year’s Hall of Fame ceremony, which he walked out of during his father’s HoF speech.
It was a special night, you know? (Dominik said about his father’s WWE Hall of Fame induction) Not many people get to say that they get inducted into the Hall of Fame and have a match the very next day. So it was cool to be able to be a part of something to also continue the storyline through the Hall of Fame because I don’t know if that’s ever been done before like that to where we continue the storyline through the Hall of Fame and it was just surreal to be able to get up in the beginning of his speech and just hear that reaction from that crowd. Almost like they couldn’t believe it. I know a lot of the wrestlers there as well didn’t know what was going on so that was like their genuine reaction so it was really cool to see.
