Finn Balor Believes Current WWE Superstar Will Be “Huge”

The Judgment Day’s Finn Balor has run the rule over one current WWE Superstar that he thinks will go on to become a “huge star” in the company.

The Judgment Day did not have the best night at Survivor Series as Rhea Ripley was on the losing side in the women’s WarGames match and Finn Balor also came out on the losing end of his singles match against AJ Styles.

Despite that, Finn Balor thinks the future is bright for the group, particularly for one member. Speaking on BTSport’s The Run In, Balor shone the spotlight on how well Dominik Mysterio is performing after being thrust into a new role:

“To see Dominik slip into the role so seamlessly. People forget he debuted about a year before he turned heel and was learning on the job. He wasn’t really doing that much training. I mean that with the greatest amount of respect, but he had a couple months training with Lance (Storm) and a little here and there with his dad and stuff, but not an immense amount of training to be in the deep end on live TV for WWE.”

“He was only kind of adapting to that and then he was thrown this huge curveball where he’s turning on his dad and portraying a completely different character. The way he’s stepped into that character is incredible to watch.”

“I remember that first night when he was going out to do a heel promo and going up to him to try and calm him down a little. ‘Don’t worry, it’s going to be cool.’ He’s like, ‘I’m cool. Don’t worry.’ ‘You know what you’re going to say?’ ‘Nah, I’ll figure it out.’ [laughs]. He went out there super chilled and that’s how he is. I think he’s going to be a huge star for us.”

Dominik Mysterio and his “Mami” Rhea Ripley recently reignited hostilities with Rey Mysterio when the pair attacked the former WWE Champion in his home at Thanksgiving.
