Former WWE Champion Big E Talks About Dominik Mysterio

Former WWE star, famously known for being a part of The New Day tag team, Big E, recently spoke to Compas On The Beat when he appeared at the Super Bowl Radio Row.

He talked about Dominik Mysterio’s early days and overall growth as a wrestler and star. Big E praised Mysterio for his confidence and for doing an “incredible job.”

He is someone… we talk often, on the (WWE) panel, about guys who have really grown, and he is a prime example.

When he first came on the road… y’know, came up with his dad, you could tell he was green, you could tell he wasn’t quite comfortable.

But, I think, too many times, it’s an example that we, too often, will throw away talent. We’ll say “he’s not ready”, “he doesn’t have it”, “I don’t know”, “he should go back down to NXT”, “fire him”.

Big E believes that, given the opportunity to grow, talents like Mysterio get to shine.

Give guys an opportunity to grow. Give guys an opportunity to find that footing, cos I needed that time as well.“He’s someone who’s taken that ball and really run with it. He’s done an incredible job. He’s someone that, when you see him, you believe every word that comes out of his mouth.

The way he carries himself, his confidence; I can’t speak highly enough of his growth as a talent. He’s done an incredible job and he’s still so young. He’s not even thirty yet.

He’s just going to get better and better, so shout out to him and all the work he’s done.
