Dominik has been a prominent feature on Monday Night RAW since debuting against Seth Rollins at SummerSlam 2020. Since then, he has come a long way. After wrestling by his father’s side for the better part of two years, Dominik finally turned on Rey Mysterio at Clash at the Castle and joined Judgment Day.
Finn Balor, who is Judgment Day’s leader, spoke to BT Sport about Dominik’s character development and in-ring skills. He also admitted that Dominik was thrown into the deep end on live television.
[It’s beautiful to] see Dominik kind of slip into the role so seamlessly because people forget he kind of debuted about a year before he turned heel and he was learning on the job, like he wasn’t really doing that much training. And I mean that with the greatest amount of respect but, you know, he had a couple months training, I think with Lance, and, you know, little bits here and there with his dad and stuff but not an immense amount of training to be in the deep end on live TV for WWE
Finn Balor continued to say that Dominik is going to be a huge star for the WWE in the future given his ability to transition and change characters seamlessly.
“He was only kind of adapting to that and then he was thrown this huge curveball where he’s now turning on his dad and playing a completely different character. And the way he’s like slipped into that character, it’s incredible to watch (…) I think he’s gonna be a huge star for us,” said Balor
The Judgment Day’s constant assault on Rey Mysterio forced him to change brands to SmackDown. However, that didn’t stop Dominik from showing up at Rey’s home on Thanksgiving and assaulting his father again. It will be interesting to see if Dominik and Rey Mysterio continue their rivalry in the future which will lead to a match between the two men.
