Now picture the scene where Rey comes out week after week, only for Priest and Balor to beat him to a bloody pulp. The WWE knows that there is money in the Rey Mysterio versus Judgement Day feud, so there will most certainly be a time when they revisit this rivalry.
How does Dom go from the most hated heel in the company to the most beloved babyface? Well, here is how I would do it.
Now, here comes the part that I’m sure you are here for. The hostility the fans feel towards Dom has started to become so loud that he isn’t even able to speak a word on live tv due to his voice being swallowed by the mass of boos raining down from the crowd. The ‘heel heat’ Dom would receive over the next few months was inconceivable. He was the ‘fake tough guy’ heel that really gets the crowd hot. During his “turn to the dark side”, Dom would go from being beaten and battered by Rhea Ripley to having almost a Stockholm Syndrome type of relationship that saw him eventually receive love and praise from Rhea as his heel turn became more concrete. The pair would even pick up the Smackdown Tag Team Championships during the 2021 WWE Backlash Premium Live Event.ĭominik would officially turn on his father during the Clash at the Castle in September of 2022.
This team would burst onto the scene and quickly become a duo that the live crowds couldn’t help but get behind. Dominick Mysterio seems to have the WWE Universe eating out of the palm of his hand.įollowing his in-ring debut, which was a street fight versus Seth Rollins at Summer Slam in 2020, Dom would begin teaming with his Hall of Fame father, Rey Mysterio Jr. It takes a lot of character work and development to reach the point that fans either shower you with praise or bombard you with boos. The ability to draw out that much emotion from the fans is a gift that not all wrestlers have.
Throughout professional wrestling history, some of the most beloved babyface characters were once so despised that the boos coming from the live audience were so loud that you couldn’t hear anything that they were trying to say on the mic. Dominick Mysterio is one of the most hated individuals in wrestling, but could he become a massive babyface?
