Mickie James believes Dominik has a high ceiling in the sport, crediting his natural ability inside the squared circle and his attention to small details that set him apart from others in the business.

“Just the natural ability and the natural … it’s the little things. It’s the little things that you can see him doing that he looks like he’s a 10-, 20-year veteran out there,” said James. “A lot of his euphemisms, body languages, all these little things, we’re going to look back on how we do in wrestling, and 10 years from now, you’re going to say Dominik Mysterio is one of the greats. And it’s crazy to think about, but just like … look how much heat he has.” 

James feels that Dominik has the potential to be a top star — a sentiment echoed by many, including his Judgment Day partner, Finn Balor, as well as WWE Hall of Famer Road Dogg.

“He’s already really great, and I don’t really love to say that about young talent because I feel like it kind of heeds people and their learning capabilities and they start to think that they’re already great before they are great.”

She also mentioned that every time she sees Dominik, her thoughts transport her back to the time when he was just a child, coincidentally the same age as her son, Donovan.
