Randy Orton gives honest opinion about Judgment Day member
WWE Superstar Randy Orton recently shared his honest opinion about a member of The Judgment Day. The name in question is Dominik Mysterio.
The 26-year-old superstar is an integral part of the RAW roster. The Judgment Day member is currently one of the most hated heel characters in the world of professional wrestling. In addition to his character work, 'Dirty' Dominik Mysterio has improved his in-ring work drastically.
The former NXT North American Champion was Randy Orton's first opponent in a singles match after the latter returned to WWE at Survivor Series: WarGames. The Viper was out of action for over 18 months due to a back injury. The two superstars locked horns on an episode of Monday Night RAW, which saw the 14-time World Champion defeat Mysterio in a highly entertaining bout.
The Apex Predator recently made an appearance on WWE's The Bump and talked about several things, including his return to the company, rivalry with John Cena, the rise of LA Knight, and more. The Viper also shared an honest opinion about several names brought up by the host, Kayla Braxton.
When asked about Mysterio, Orton praised him while claiming that the former Tag Team Champion has a bright future in front of him:
"That kid [Dominik Mysterio] has got a hell of a future in store. We haven't even seen anything from him yet, and he has already done so much. The reaction he gets from the people. I have been able to work with him on some live events recently. And the kid's good. He is good. So, yeah, he has got future by the balls, let's say." [From 39:06 to 39:27]
