WWE Superstar Dominik Mysterio is the best heel of 2022, according to legendary pro wrestling journalist Bill Apter.
The 25-year-old is an integral part of the WWE RAW faction Judgment Day, where he and his partner-in-crime, Rhea Ripley, have performed many villainous acts. On this past episode of RAW, the younger Mysterio showed no mercy to his father in true John Kreese fashion, even hitting the patented 619 on the man who popularized the move. As the crowd turned on the star, Bill Apter was absolutely thrilled at the young man's progress.
