Rookie Year 2020 - Grading the debuts of WWE stars on RAW and SmackDown

#7 Dominik Mysterio on WWE RAW - A-

Dominik has done his family name proud

Short of winning a title in his brief tenure on WWE RAW, Dominik Mysterio has taken to pro wrestling like a fish to water. It's not surprising, considering he's Rey Mysterio's son, but there is usually a learning curve for anyone seeking to join the pro wrestling industry, and especially WWE.

WWE's confidence in Dominik must have been very high since he bypassed NXT completely and was placed into a feud with one of the top stars in all of WWE. Only a few stars bypass NXT TV altogether, like Braun Strowman and AJ Styles. While he isn't huge like Strowman or a living legend like Styles, he does have a famous wrestling surname and that certainly helps.

Even before he had his first match, WWE Legends like Booker T were a bit hesitant about Domink's prospects. Booker T felt that he needed to fill out his body with muscle a bit more. The promos were also a bit wooden but that is to be expected of a young star with a huge legacy to uphold.

In his matches, Dominik has shown fluidity and a range of high-flying and mat-based skills. He's also taken part in a cage match, a street fight and normal contests. His potential for the future is apparent every week and he is clearly being set up as a star of the future. Once he gets better at the promos, he might join Roman Reigns and Charlotte Flair as heavily-pushed WWE legacy stars.
