27-year-old star wants WWE dream match against Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania 40
After making a surprise appearance in front of the WWE Universe at WrestleMania 39 last night, rapper Lil Uzi Vert has stated that he is keen to face Dominik Mysterio at the Show of Shows next year.
Over the past few months, Dominik has emerged as one of the most hated performers on the roster, with his unapologetic behavior towards his father Rey, as well as his mother and sister angering many both in and out of WWE.
Speaking in a WWE Digital Exclusive interview, Lil Uzi Vert was asked by Cathy Kelley who his dream opponent would be if he was to step between the ropes at WrestleMania 40.
"Dominik (Mysterio is my dream opponent for WrestleMania)… Yes (I want to help Rey put him in his place). I feel like that’s my job. I have to do that." H/T [Post Wrestling]

Top WWE Star explains her absence during Dominik's match
Whilst Dom's Judgment Day teammates Finn Balor and Damian Priest attempted to assist him in his match against his father last night, his closest ally Rhea Ripley was nowhere to be seen.
Speaking to Ariel Helwani of BT Sport, Ripley, who defeated Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women's title later in the night, explained why she was not there for Dom during his high-stakes matchup.
"I didn't get to watch Dom Dom's match, otherwise I would have probably tried to go out there to save him. I was too busy in my own head, trying to get myself prepared for this massive match that I knew I was going to have with Charlotte Flair." [2:11 - 2:27]
"I got really emotional this morning, cried 6+ times, not only for myself but for @DomMysterio35 as well"
