Dominik Mysterio revealed his personal and in-ring life, including his on-screen relationship with Rhea Ripley, on the recent episode of IMPAULSIVE with Logan Paul. Interestingly, fans who watched the show or listened to the podcast learned a bit more about it.

Dominik Mysterio started his WWE run in 2020 but was involved in wrestling for longer than that due to his linkage with Rey Mysterio, a WWE Hall of Famer. After mainly being Rey's tag team partner, Dom branched away from his father in 2022 by betraying the legend and then joined The Judgment Day.

Dirty Dom has since been doing well as a heel and is involved in one of the biggest storylines in the company today with Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan. On the latest IMPAULSIVE episode, he chatted with his fellow WWE star more about his life on and behind the screens.

For this list, we will look at four things we learned about Dominik Mysterio on the recent IMPAULSIVE podcast.


#4. Dominik Mysterio is interested in a tag team run with Logan Paul

Dominik Mysterio has had a partner since joining WWE. While at first it was only Rey Mysterio, he later joined Finn Balor, Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, and JD McDonagh in The Judgment Day. Although Damian and Rhea have left the group, Mysterio continues to be partners with Carlito, Balor, JD, and Liv Morgan. However, the former North American Champion is also eyeing Logan Paul.

During the episode, Dominik said that he considers The Judgment Day a family and can't just be like his father who would disappear. However, if he could work something out, he and Logan Paul would be a good team. This would surely be interesting to see especially since both men are a couple of stars WWE fans love to hate.


#3. Dominik Mysterio on when he thinks he will retire from wrestling

There have been many cases of wrestlers until very late in their life like Ric Flair, whose last match took place when he was 73 in 2022. For Dominik, he doesn't want to push his body to that extent.

During the episode, Dominik said that although he loves the business, he doesn't want to wrestle "till the wheels fall off" and be smart about when to call it a career. He shared that he wants to have kids and be present for them as they grow up, joking that it was something that his father wasn't able to provide.


#2. Dominik Mysterio's real-life wife understands his on-screen relationship with Rhea Ripley

One of the things that truly helped Dominik's character in WWE was his on-screen relationship with Rhea Ripley. The duo never kissed when they were still "together" for the past two years, but The Eradicator licked him on an episode of RAW. However, Mysterio's wife, Marie Juliette, was alright with it.

Dominik revealed that after Rhea licked him on TV, the first message his wife sent him was, "There's a tarantula in the garage.'" He further explained that she understood what he does on television and can separate work from real life.


#1. Original plans for Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero for Dominik's custody

Dominik's first major involvement in the Stamford-based promotion was when Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero fought for his custody. The 2005 SummerSlam match saw both men battle each other in a ladder match, with Dom's " custody papers" suspended above the ring with a briefcase. However, the original plans were more dangerous and bizarre.

Dom revealed that the initial plan pitched for the match was for him to be hanged above the ring instead of while inside a cage. He even compared this situation as if he was a Money in the Bank briefcase.
