Big E opined that Dominik Mysterio looked confident and comfortable going face-to-face with one of the greats of the industry, and believes that the segment and match will be a key moment of Mysterio’s career.

“I think for me, one of the big markers was seeing him face to face with John Cena, I didn’t see one iota of trepidation on Dom’s face. I didn’t see a second of ‘Ah, is this moment too big?’ I saw a dude who thought, ‘Not only do I deserve to be here, but I’m better than you, and I’m gonna prove that in all aspects.’ And he didn’t get the job done, but I love this for Dom, and I think this is going to be a moment that we look back on when Dom is a World Champion, who knows, a year, two years from now, when that time comes, I think we’ll look back at pivotal moments in his career,” stated the former New Day star. 

He also expressed amazement at Mysterio’s growth and feels he has a high ceiling, adding that sharing the stage with Cena will stand him in good stead.

“He’s not 30 yet, and you look at the top of the roster, it’s all guys in their late thirties and forties. He still probably has another five, six, seven years before he’s really in his prime,” he said. “He’s gonna be back, and this was not what I expected, but it was really a great spotlight for him.”

Big E noted that Mysterio’s charisma, his performances in the ring, and his mic work are only improving, and we could see an even better wrestler a few years down the line.
