Speaking on Keepin' It 100, wrestling veteran Disco Inferno addressed whether Dominik needs a title run.

Like he doesn't need, you know, his heat comes from the fact that he's immersed in his character. He absolutely does not need a belt. You know, you could put a belt on him down the line but it's like, you know, he's got so much heat right now as it is. He doesn't really need it," said the WCW legend.

Dominik Mysterio commented on having heat with the WWE Universe. Check out the details here.
