Dominik Reflects On Facing Rey Mysterio
Dominik Mysterio previously looked back on facing Rey Mysterio at WWE WrestleMania 39. In an interview with Inside The Ropes, Dominik made it clear that he felt very blessed.
It’s so crazy, thinking that a could years ago, I was watching my dad and Samoa Joe going at it [at WrestleMania 35] and I posted a picture, and my dad was like, ‘This will be your stage soon.’ Next thing you know, I’m wrestling him in LA, two hours away from home in San Diego, and 80,000 people. I get my own entrance. It’s a very surreal moment. I’m very blessed, and I’m very happy to be a part of it. It was very crazy.”
Dominik is featured on WWE TV as a member of The Judgment Day, and he holds the NXT North American Championship.
