Dominik Mysterio beats Rhea Ripley to a major accolade ahead of RAW
WWE Superstar Dominik Mysterio has beaten former on-screen partner Rhea Ripley to a major accolade. The Judgment Day member is arguably one of the most hated heels in professional wrestling currently.
'Dirty' Dom betrayed The Eradicator earlier this year at WWE SummerSlam when he helped Liv Morgan defeat Ripley and retain the Women's World Championship. Although the 27-year-old hasn't wrestled as many matches as he did last year, he continues to impress fans with his character work.
ESPN recently released a list of Top 30 wrestlers under the age of 30 years. WWE Superstar Dominik Mysterio topped the list ahead of AEW stars MJF and Toni Storm. Rhea Ripley placed fourth on the overall list and is the only other WWE Superstar in the top 10.

WWE Hall of Famer breaks character to praise Dominik Mysterio
After being in a tag team with his father, Dominik Mysterio betrayed the veteran at WWE Clash at the Castle 2022. The former SmackDown Tag Team Champion turned heel for the first time in his career and joined The Judgment Day.
On a recent edition of Cheap Heat with Peter Rosenberg, Rey Mysterio stated he was wrong to think it was too soon for 'Dirty' Dom to betray him and go on his own. He reflected on his son's growth as a performer over the years. The Master of the 619 added he loved watching the younger Mysterio in action and was proud of him.
“Maybe I would have thought at the time that it was a little too soon, but I was completely wrong. Look at him now. Look at all the success he’s gained. Look at the confidence booster that he has, just overall his growth. As a father and as one of his fans, I enjoy watching him in the ring every time. And you have no idea this feeling of gratitude and that I’m his dad. That’s how I feel because it’s a normal reaction, you know? I’m proud of him, I love him, and I enjoy the work that he’s accomplishing," he said. [H/T: WrestleZone]
