Ever since the NXT North American Champion Dominik Mysterio turned heel and joined The Judgment Day faction, not many superstars have been fond of him. Fans rarely hear anyone praise him except his own stablemates because everyone finds him insulting them most of the time.
However, a while ago, Rhea Ripley’s ex-best friend Cathy Kelly had to give ‘Dirty Dom’ due credit during an interview. But later she regretted doing so. Dive deep with us as we explore more details about this matter.

Cathy Kelly wants to take back her statement where she complimented Dominik Mysterio
During an interview, Chris Van Vliet asked Kelly, “Who’s the superstar that can get you to break the character the easiest?” Kelly hesitantly replied, “I don’t wanna give him the credit, but Dom… Dom Mysterio. There have been a couple of times.”

Kelly works as a backstage interviewer in WWE. Therefore, she has to maintain her character despite how absurd or funny a superstar acts in front of the camera during backstage interviews. She revealed that Mysterio has often made her break character while shooting backstage interview segments.
Though she didn’t want to compliment her ex-best friend’s current romantic on-screen partner, she acknowledged Mysterio anyway. But soon she regretted making this public statement and requested Vliet to remove the particular segment on Twitter.

Kelly, being hesitant to praise Dom-Dom and wanting to take down her video praising him, is understandable as she has some history with Mysterio’s Mami.
