Dominik Mysterio takes major shots at Logan Paul

Logan Paul and Dominik Mysterio are two of WWE's fastest-rising villains of the modern era. Paul seemingly enjoys being one of the most disliked entertainers in the world, and now Mysterio seems to have revealed just how much he loathes the social media star in real life. Despite their major connection, Dominik has lashed out with numerous jabs at Logan, questioning his WWE abilities.

Dirty Dom and The Maverick have one major WWE connection. Paul's in-ring debut came at WrestleMania 38 in 2022, where he and The Miz defeated Dominik and Rey Mysterio. They haven't wrestled since but have traded social media props, joked about joining forces, or The Judgment Day recruiting Paul. Dom recently appeared on Logan's Impaulsive podcast, then Liv Morgan was on last week. Paul revealed that he pitched a tag team with Dom to Triple H, which may be possible. Logan went on about how much he likes Dom, suggesting they hang out and that if they have on-and-off-screen chemistry, there's real potential.

Mysterio has changed his tune on The Ultimate Influencer. The Judgment Day's happy couple recently appeared on The Bootleg Kev Podcast, and the host pointed to how Paul is a great heel who turned out to be a freak athlete with several crazy spots for someone as new as he is. Liv and Dom were asked how they felt about Logan Paul and his place in WWE.

"Ummm... I feel like he's talented. [shrugs]," Liv Morgan said. [From 0:33 to 0:36]

Mysterio seemed to agree, with a bit of sarcasm but still questioned Paul's in-ring abilities. He then pointed out that he and his father, Rey Mysterio, were Logan's first opponents at WrestleMania 38 in 2022. Dominik also mentioned how the 29-year-old hasn't wrestled since dropping the United States Championship to LA Knight at SummerSlam on August 3.

"Yeah. [laughs] Yeah, I mean... [Liv laughs with him] I wrestled the guy. I was his first [WrestleMania opponent]. I think he still has a lot to learn, and I think the time he has to be able to, like, practice and develop more stuff is more power to him because I said it when I was on his podcast, but we're constantly on the road every week, and, like, he lost the title how long ago? And we haven't seen him since... shout-out Logan, but you know," Dominik Mysterio said. [From 00:40 to 1:17]

WWE has not announced when Logan Paul will return from paternity leave. The brother of Jake Paul recently provided a major WrestleMania 41 update.

Is Logan Paul returning to WWE with a new look?

Logan Paul's first reign as WWE United States Champion ended at 273 days when LA Knight defeated him at SummerSlam on August 3. Paul has been on paternity leave as he and his partner welcomed their first child at the end of September.

The Maverick recently stated that he might miss WrestleMania 41, but he seemed joking about an extra-long paternity leave. Many believe Paul will be back before the first of the year, and now he's teasing a potential new look for the comeback. The SmackDown Superstar noted on his Impaulsive podcast that he wants to embrace his sexuality when he returns, so he's thinking of showing more skin with new ring attire.

The Ultimate Influencer received heat from fans and wrestlers for his recent championship reign. Logan Paul defended just three times in 273 days, including the loss to Knight at SummerSlam.
