He said, “Dominik Mysterio is killing it. He’s doing so good. He’s far beyond where he should be. As far as being good as well. It’s pretty cool to see them doing all this stuff … And we talked about that before. You get a lot of people especially because of Eddie and how monumental and like cult following he has and how many people see how really great he is and was.”

Dominik can do it and Rey can do it because of the history with them and stuff.” Nevertheless, he emphasized the significance of Dominik and Rey Mysterio’s ability to succeed due to their rich wrestling history.
