Roman Reigns has been credited for his guidance during the early years of Dominik Mysterio’s WWE career.

Long before he became a cowardly member of the villainous Judgment Day faction, Dominik Mysterio was a freshed faced up and comer in WWE who was usually seen teaming alongside WWE Hall Of Famer, Rey Mysterio.

The 27 year-old made his in-ring debut for the company against Seth Rollins at SummerSlam on 23rd August 2020 and would go on to lift the SmackDown Tag Team Championship with his Father at WrestleMania Backlash just eight months later.

Dominik Mysterio received widespread praise during this period for his rapid improvement in the squared circle, with the former NXT North American Champion recentlycrediting a number of top WWE Superstars for helping his development.

Speaking during an appearance on ‘Busted Open Radio’, the young Superstar opened up about the early years of his career and had high praise for the guidance received by the likes of John Cena and Roman Reigns:

“Honestly, it was really difficult. But at the end of the day I had the right people next to me, guiding me, helping me throughout this whole process. Guys like Roman Reigns, guys like John Cena, guys like The Usos. Just helping me and guiding me through this.

When I first started the live events, I was, I’ve said this a million times, but tagging with my dad and John Cena against Roman and The Usos for an entire summer leading up to Roman and John Cena, that was huge for me.

I had no business being in the ring with those guys and still, they took the time to help me, guide me, and just move me in a certain direction where it would help me and benefit me in the long run.”
