Dominik Mysterio turned heel at WWE Clash at the Castle 2022, attacking Edge and betraying his father Rey Mysterio. The heel turn was a tribute to the late Eddie Guerrero and has been met with surprise from Dominik himself.
On a recent episode of “Busted Open Radio,” Dominik admitted that he never imagined turning heel this early in his WWE career.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On being surprised by the way his storyline has played out: “I didn’t think any of this was going to play out the way it did. The process for me starting to wrestle and train and debut was all completely different in our eyes and what we had envisioned.”
On his heel turn: “Me being a heel I don’t think was ever in the plan. My dad’s always been a big babyface and he’s never been the bad guy, so I think seeing a different side of a Mysterio was what got the people intrigued.”
On his current spot on the roster: “I’m so blessed to be in the position that I am. WWE sells a picture of ‘Edge and Rey Mysterio defeats The Judgment Day,’ but I’m standing over both of them. That’s just insane to me.”
