According to Rhea Ripley, there are no limits on how far Dominik Mysterio can go in WWE. “I know a lot of fans don’t agree, and they don’t see much in him, which aggravates them, but they’re very, very wrong. For Dom, just seeing how much he’s grown over the last few months is so insane. His confidence levels have just skyrocketed. He knows exactly what he’s doing going out there. Even when he’s not sure, he’s still going out there and he absolutely kills it.”

She noted that it was a particularly radical transition for Mysterio to go from playing second-fiddle to his legendary father, Rey Mysterio, in a babyface tag team to becoming one of the top heels in WWE at the moment. The Women’s World Champion commented on the heat he’s been receiving from the fans, noting that the crowd reacts to her storyline love interest’s presence. 

“Being out there while he gets booed? It’s quite deafening,” Ripley continued. It’s really cool to hear. I can’t even hear what he’s saying most of the time, and he’s talking next to me on a microphone. That’s how loud the crowd can be, and I’ve never heard someone get such a reaction so quickly, as well, like Dom does.”

“It makes me very proud knowing how much he’s grown,” she concluded. “I get emotional every now and then because he’s come so far, and it’s very cool to be a part of.”
