In the electrifying world of WWE, where every Superstar vies for the spotlight, certain talents often fly under the radar despite their remarkable skills. Damian Priest, a distinguished WWE personality and a pivotal member of the revered faction Judgment Day, recently took a moment to advocate for the underappreciated talent of Dominik Mysterio.
During an insightful conversation on the Superstar Crossover Podcast with Josh Martinez of Z100, Priest delved into why Dominik merits more recognition. While acknowledging the complexity of labeling someone as “underrated” in a roster brimming with talent, Priest didn’t shy away from shining a light on Dominik’s abilities.
As a fellow member of the Judgment Day faction alongside Dominik, Priest highlighted how Dominik’s character as a heel often obscures his true talent. “I think Dominik, people see him as the guy that’s fun to boo him. Then, he gets in the ring, and I think they’re like, ‘What, where does that come from?’ It’s like, no, he’s good. He’s really good,” Priest remarked.
Despite the polarizing reactions from the WWE Universe, Priest emphasized that Dominik’s in-ring prowess speaks volumes. “I think people forget that because they just know the guy that gets booed because it’s fun to boo him. You forget that he can go in the ring and he’s very talented,” Priest reiterated.
Furthermore, Priest underscored Dominik’s remarkable growth since aligning himself with the Judgment Day faction. “His improvement since he joined the Judgment Day, I mean, if you look at Dominik a week before he joined the Judgment Day, and you look at him now, it’s a completely different person. I think people forget about that part, too,” Priest observed.
While Dominik’s recent appearance on WWE TV saw him playing a pivotal role in his father Rey Mysterio’s match, it’s evident that his journey in WWE is characterized by resilience and evolution. As Damian Priest aptly summarized, Dominik Mysterio’s talent transcends the cheers and jeers, solidifying his status as a formidable force in the squared circle.
