On a recent edition of Logan Paul’s “ImPAULsive” podcast, Randy Orton lavished praise on Dominik Mysterio, noting how much the young athlete has grown over the years.
Orton hit an RKO to defeat Dominik in his first match on RAW since his return at Survivor Series: WarGames 2023.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his friendship with Rey and thoughts on Dominik: “His dad and I are tight. Rey is probably the only guy back there that is friendlier than Omos. Rey took care of me back in the day. I wrestled Dom on Raw. It was such a pleasure to be out there with him. Just to be out there knowing, ‘I know your dad is at home watching, I want to make your dad proud.’ It was a great feeling. I am so proud of Dom as well. When he first started coming up, Rey brought him around and it was like, ‘Ohhh, this kid needs another f**king ten years. He needs to go fight in a war or something and come back grizzled.’ The tattoos help. He’s got it now.”
On his reaction to Dominik turning on Rey last year: “I remember that night, I texted Rey and Dom that night, he either clotheslined his father or kicked his dad in the nuts. Rey is such a lovable guy, and for him…we all grew up, 20 years ago, fans saw Dominik on television, he was involved in storylines. Everyone saw this cute little kid, and now here he is, he’s disrespecting his father, who we adore. Booo.”
