WWE Superstar Dominik Mysterio opens up about his first singles championship run
Dominik Mysterio won his first-ever singles title on NXT when he defeated Wes Lee to become the NXT North American Champion in July 2023. Dirty Dom then lost the title to Trick Williams at NXT No Mercy in September, only to win it back after three days.
Mysterio was the champion for nearly three months before dropping the title to Dragon Lee at the NXT Deadline event in December. During his appearance on The Ringer Wrestling Podcast, the former tag team champion talked about his time on the developmental brand. He also shared his take on his run as NXT North American Champion:
"I started on the main roster and then came down to NXT and stayed down there for a while... I went down there to work with the younger talent, but some of them are older than me. To be able to go in there and mentor them, as weird as that sounds, it’s just cool man. I’m glad that Shawn Michaels was able to give me that trust to go down there and work with them for as long as I did. Because I’m pretty sure I wasn’t supposed to have that NXT North American Championship for that long. But I wasn’t gonna give it up. I feel like I had some of my best work down there, so I’m really proud of the work I did in NXT," he said.
Dominik Mysterio is currently involved in an intriguing storyline with Liv Morgan. It remains to be seen what lies ahead for the entire faction in the absence of Rhea Ripley. Morgan's backstage attack resulted in The Eradicator sustaining a shoulder injury, which forced the latter to vacate the Women's World Championship.
