The future of WWE looks promising with the impressive rise of wrestlers like Dominik Mysterio in the industry. Some people may credit his possibilities to family connections, considering that his father is a Hall of Famer and he has a history that is profoundly connected to WWE from the time he was a youngster.
But Dominik has shown himself in the ring, getting the thumbs up from seasoned wrestlers and the recognition of industry heavyweights like Randy Orton, who sees the 26-year-old kid as a potential superstar in WWE.
Randy Orton has high hopes for Dominik Mysterio in WWE
In 2020, Dom won the SmackDown Tag Team Championship alongside his father, marking the formal beginning of his full-time wrestling career. His subsequent betrayal of his father and foray into singles competition as a traitor with The Judgement Day group surprised everyone. Not only have wrestling veterans praised Dominik’s meteoric rise to stardom, but the famous Randy Orton has added his voice to the chorus, praising Dom as the company’s future star.
Orton and Dominik were teammates on Cody Rhodes’ War Games squad; Orton’s unexpected comeback to the ring at Survivor Series came after an 18-month sabbatical. Orton acknowledged the influence of the developing star since joining Judgement Day and turning heel in a recent appearance on WWE’s The Bump. Despite the obvious animosity from the WWE Universe, Orton praised Dominik’s potential and hinted at undiscovered qualities.
In the interview, the Apex Predator said, “Oh my god, that kid’s got a hell of a future. We haven’t even seen anything from him yet, and he’s already done so much. The reaction he gets from the people, I’ve been able to work with him on some live events, and the kid’s good. He’s good. He’s got the future by the balls.”
How Dominik Mysterio became WWE’s most hated wrestler?
Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio’s son, Dominik, has risen to the position of WWE’s most despised wrestler. U.S. Champion Logan Paul was even interested in teaming up with Dom to become the most despised combo in the world. What ever happened to make this 26-year-old such a hated heel is a big question among new followers.
The plot involving Dominik’s father and his heel turn substantially altered his professional trajectory. At first, he took some serious flak for being unfairly criticized for his performance in the ring and on the mic. A lot of people thought he got into WWE because of his father, therefore, they wanted him to “go away.” His heel character was further accentuated once he joined the most violent group in WWE.
Dominik Mysterio is still one of the most booed wrestlers, no matter where he goes, even though he has become better and more entertaining. How would you see his progress? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
