"He's the victim" - Former WWE writer defends Dominik Mysterio after his controversial gesture on RAW's Netflix debut
WWE Superstar Dominik Mysterio nearly created a blunder for himself with a questionable gesture during RAW's Netflix premiere. However, former WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr. recently came to the defense of The Judgment Day star.
Following Rhea Ripley's victory over Liv Morgan for the Women's World Title on the red brand's Netflix debut, Dirty Dom approached Mami to attack her. However, instead of assaulting her, he offered her a hug. Unimpressed by Mysterio's attempt at reconciliation, The Eradicator responded by executing a Riptide on him.
On his Wrestling with Freddie podcast, the former WWE writer extended his support for Dominik Mysterio, despite his heel persona. Freddie Prinze Jr. argued that the 27-year-old male star is the true victim in his current storyline, caught between the manipulative influences of Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan.
"Dominik [Mysterio] is awesome. I know he's a heel, but he's my favorite babyface in professional wrestling because to me, he's the victim in this [storyline] and he's torn between two women [Ripley and Morgan] that are both manipulative," he said.
Prinze Jr. emphasized that both women were acting in their self-interest, leaving The Judgment Day star caught in the crossfire. He urged fans to show sympathy for Dominik Mysterio, highlighting his impressive mustache and mullet.
"It's just one is manipulative for herself and the other is manipulative for herself. But Dominik is a victim in this, just remember that. Show some sympathy for him. His mustache is glorious; his mullet's glorious," Prinze Jr. added. [From 20:27 to 20:51]
