Dominik Mysterio wants 55-year-old legend to come out of retirement after 12 years and face him at WrestleMania 41
Dominik Mysterio had been involved with Rey Mysterio in every WrestleMania he competed in. However, he wants to move on from his deadbeat dad and face 55-year-old WWE personality Michael Cole on The Grandest Stage of Them All next year.
Aside from calling the shows, The Voice of WWE has laced up his boots several times in his career. He last stepped inside the squared circle against Jerry Lawler on the July 9, 2012, edition of Monday Night RAW.
The two men also had a match at WrestleMania 27, with Stone Cold Steve Austin as the special guest referee. Michael Cole hasn't gotten physical in the ring in over a decade. However, he has made quite a few enemies on-screen. Chief among them is Dominik Mysterio.
In an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Dom called Cole a biased commentator for talking trash every time he's on TV. The Judgment Day member feels the SmackDown broadcaster is probably jealous of him.
"He is the most biased person I have ever met. He does nothing but absolutely trash on my name every time I get on TV. He does nothing but boo me, trash talk me. Even when I’m not there he talks bad about me. This man has done nothing but bash me, and I feel like I’m the best, but that is what it is. [What does he have against you?] I don’t know. Again, he’s probably jealous. He’s losing his hair and I’m gaining it over here," Mysterio said.
Dominik Mysterio then went on to say that he would love to get in the ring with Michael Cole, who is undefeated in his only WrestleMania match:
"I’d love a one-on-one with Michael. He’s undefeated at WrestleMania. I’d love to slap around Michael Cole.”
What's next for Dominik Mysterio?
"Dirty" Dominik Mysterio is currently in the midst of a long-running feud pitting him and his on-screen girlfriend Liv Morgan against Rhea Ripley. Mysterio has been a thorn in the side of Mami and her quest to reclaim the Women's World Championship from The Miracle Kid.
Recent reports have suggested that some people within WWE are interested in booking an intergender match between Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio.
With Raquel Rodriguez in the mix, it will be interesting to see how Rhea Ripley will get her hands on Dom.
