Dominik Mysterio admits that he’s always been “kind of a d*ck.”
While speaking to Kenny McIntosh on the “Inside The Ropes” podcast, The Judgment Day member commented on his heel persona and why he prefers it over playing a babyface like his father Rey. “Dom Dom” said,
“I don’t know. I think it’s kind of just always secretly been hidden in me, that I’m kind of just this d*ck. Which, like with all things, it just came naturally to me, man. I don’t know what it was, but I think what really helped me was I guess when I was training with Lance and with Jay Lethal, I guess everyone thought I was just gonna be a babyface like my dad and just be a good guy all the time. So when I would do practice matches, I would want to be a heel. I wanted to be the bad guy. So I trained, most of the time, my practice matches, I was always the bad guy.”
He continued, “So it was always fun to kind of get into that character. Once I got the opportunity, I was like, I’m not gonna blow it. RBIs is gonna be the one. I’ve always wanted to be the bad guy. Guys like Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, Chris Jericho, guys like that I grew up watching, that’s how I wanted to do it.”
Dominik Mysterio will be facing off against Cody Rhodes at the 2023 WWE Money in the Bank pay-per-view event, which takes place on Saturday, July 1st, from the O2 Arena in London, England.
