At Super Bowl Radio Row, former WWE champion Big E shared his candid perspective on Dominik Mysterio’s impressive rise within WWE. Known initially as the son of Rey Mysterio, Dominik officially began his in-ring career at SummerSlam 2020. Since then, his WWE growth has been notable, as Big E emphasized during his interview with Compas On The Beat.
Big E pointed out that many talented wrestlers face skepticism early on, often being viewed as unready or pushed back to NXT. Mysterio, however, had the chance to refine his skills on the main roster and has flourished as a result. Big E said,
“He is someone… we talk often, on the (WWE) panel, about guys who have really grown, and he is a prime example.”
He continued,
“When he first came on the road… y’know, came up with his dad, you could tell he was green, you could tell he wasn’t quite comfortable.”
Big E recognizes how the wrestling industry can be quick to dismiss talent, but he encourages giving wrestlers time to develop their footing.
“Give guys an opportunity to grow. Give guys an opportunity to find that footing, cos I needed that time as well.”
Recognizing Dominik’s Confidence and Future Potential
Throughout his tenure, Dominik has gained remarkable confidence and presence in WWE. Big E applauded how authenticity shines through in Dominik’s performances, stating,
“He’s someone that, when you see him, you believe every word that comes out of his mouth.”
Big E also complimented the young star’s professionalism and poise:
“The way he carries himself, his confidence; I can’t speak highly enough of his growth as a talent. He’s done an incredible job and he’s still so young. He’s not even thirty yet.”
Looking ahead, Big E expects Dominik to continue his upward trajectory.
“He’s just going to get better and better, so shout out to him and all the work he’s done.”
