Dominik Mysterio is arguably one of the most hated heel characters on the WWE roster. He has been on the receiving end of boos from the fans ever since he betrayed his father and joined The Judgment Day.
The 27-year-old and his stablemates are feuding with The Terror Twins on Monday Night RAW. While Liv Morgan will defend the Women's World Championship against Rhea Ripley at RAW's Netflix Premiere, the men of the faction, barring Carlito, went up against Damian Priest and The War Raiders in a six-man tag team match on the latest edition of the red brand's show. The contest ended with The Archer of Infamy pinning "Dirty" Dom.
Earlier today, the Stamford-based company posted a reel featuring several WWE Superstars sharing their goals for 2025. Dominik Mysterio, one of the performers in the video, broke character to tease a face turn. The former NXT North American Champion stated that he no longer wanted to be misunderstood and hated as he was "just a chill guy."
"[My goal for 2025 is] To not be so misunderstood and hated. Coz I'm just a chill guy," he said.
A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

Dominik Mysterio breaks character to open up about his match with former WWE Champion
CM Punk appeared on WWE television after a decade at Survivor Series: WarGames 2023. The Best in the World's first in-ring appearance following his return was against Dominik Mysterio. The Second City Saint locked horns with the latter twice at House Shows before competing in the 2024 Royal Rumble match.
During an appearance on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, the younger Mysterio explained why he did not expect the wrestling promotion to have him wrestle Punk. He stated that the roster was stacked with several talented stars. The Judgment Day member added he was glad to throw the former World Champion his first working punch after his blockbuster return after nearly ten years.
"Yeah, kind of crazy. I didn't expect it to be me, just because we have so much great talent right now, especially the roster we have today, Raw and SmackDown. But the fact that they trusted me to go in there with him on his first match back, like you said, after what, 10 years, I'm glad I was able to give him his first punch," he said. [H/T - CVV]
