On a recent edition of Konnan’s “Keepin’ It 100” podcast, Dominik Mysterio discussed WWE’s plans for him at WrestleMania 40, why he returned to the WWE Performance Center after turning on his father Rey Mysterio at Clash At The Castle 2022, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his WrestleMania 40 plans: “I have no idea what I’m doing at [WrestleMania]. I don’t really get a heads-up on anything when it comes to creatives and stuff, unless I go and ask. … Tell me what to do and I’ll do my best to go out there and make it look as [good] as possible to the best of my abilities.”
On his current role in the company: “I’m happy. I’m f***ing having a blast doing it, especially with the crew that I’m doing it with. I’ve become actual friends with everybody there.”
On returning to the Performance Center after turning on Rey Mysterio: “The key for me was just consistency. I’ve never really been consistent with anything, and even still, to this day, I struggle with consistency. It got to a point where, after I turned on my dad, I they asked me if I was okay going to Orlando and doing the whole process of the PC because I had skipped that whole process for about two years. Me, being a team player, I was like, ‘Yup, whatever you guys need.’ Being there in Orlando helped me be more consistent because I had nothing to do in Orlando other than workout or go to the PC. I would go work out at the PC, then I would go workout with Austin Theory, and that’s who I first turned to on the road, staying consistent in the gym on the road with him, eating right. Even now, traveling with Finn, Damian, Rhea, and JD. I can’t tell you the last time we didn’t send a group text ‘Gym’ right before TV. Every time we’re on the road, we’re always at the gym. It’s something they’ve helped me with, being on the road and staying consistent.”
Dominik fought Rey Mysterio in a losing effort at WrestleMania 39.
