Dominik Mysterio comments on heat with the WWE Universe; says they're jealous
Dominik Mysterio believes the WWE Universe is jealous of him for having Rhea Ripley by his side.
Last September, the 26-year-old RAW star turned heel and attacked his father, Rey Mysterio, and Edge at Clash at the Castle. He has since joined The Judgment Day and became the on-screen boyfriend of his stable mate Rhea Ripley. Over the past few months, Dominik has been receiving significant heat from the WWE Universe.
In a recent interview with 100.7 The Bay, Dominik addressed his heat with fans, claiming that they are jealous of him.
"Man, I'm having so much fun. It's such a blast because I'm out there just trying to speak my man and, like you said, it's more than likely that the WWE Universe is just jealous that I have someone like Rhea Ripley by my side, you know. And I don't think they wanna hear me speak my truth because they're just all gonna realize that Rey Mysterio really is a deadbeat and they don't want to hear things like that," he said. [2:29 - 2:54]
