The name in question is the current Intercontinental Champion, Dominik Mysterio. "Dirty" Dom's stock has risen exponentially in the past two years, ever since he got out of the shadow of his legendary father, Rey Mysterio, and aligned himself with The Judgment Day.
On Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, Vince Russo said that the 28-year-old was currently bulletproof in the company. He even compared Dominik with Drew McIntyre, claiming that The Scottish Warrior used to be bulletproof in WWE at one point.

"Dom now is [sic] wearing the bulletproof label. We can beat Dom to death, he's a bumping fool, but he's got enough heat that no matter what we do, he's going to stay over. He's got the new label," Russo said. [From 1:08:57 onwards]

Dominik Mysterio's rise within the company and popularity among fans have been one of the best character developments in recent times. The upstart went from being disliked by fans to becoming one of the most hated yet the most over heels in modern-day WWE. He received one of the loudest pops at WrestleMania 41 when he won the Intercontinental Championship.

Faiz is a WWE writer at Sportskeeda Wrestling. He is a BBA graduate who is passionate about sports and wants to make a career in that field. This passion led to a postgraduate degree in Journalism, which helped him pivot into becoming a sports writer. When writing, he puts the utmost importance on accuracy and thorough research.
Faiz has six years of work experience across four companies. He started his career with Zomato and then moved to Amazon. He shifted to becoming a football writer at TV9 Digital and is now with Sportskeeda. He covered the Wrestling Xtreme Mania event in Gurgaon in 2025, where he had the opportunity to interview Raj The Maharaja, fka Jinder Mahal. At the same event, he also got quick interviews with former WWE Superstar Dijak and Japanese Joshi legend Emi Sakura.
When it comes to his favourite wrestlers, Faiz has two names in mind. He loved to watch Triple H before the current WWE CCO retired, and he is a huge fan of Roman Reigns. Being a loyal fan since the Tribal Chief's SHIELD days, Faiz credits Roman's mic skills and unmatched in-ring storytelling for his mega success. When he was young, one in-ring story left a lasting impression on his mind and eventually got him hooked on WWE. That match was Shawn Michaels vs. Ric Flair at WrestleMania 24. Apart from that, he is also a fan of RAW.
When Faiz is not writing for Sportskeeda, he loves to keep up with other sports. He is an avid cricket and football fan, a huge gamer, and loves playing some RPGs on the PlayStation.
