Why do WWE fans boo Dominik Mysterio so much?

Dominik Mysterio has been generating a lot of heat from the WWE Universe. In fact, he does not even need to speak a single word before the crowd starts booing him. From the perspective of a heel, this is great. However, it has also led to questions about why Dominik is booed so much.

The only possible explanation for the crowd's reaction to Dominik Mysterio can be the fact that he betrayed his father and fan favorite Rey Mysterio. At Clash at the Castle in 2022, Dominik first attacked Edge, after which he proceeded to betray and attack his father. This betrayal has left a bitter taste in the mouths of fans.

Another possible reason why Dominik Mysterio generates the hate he does could be because of constant comparisons to Rey Mysterio. Many believe that Dominik's abilities are nowhere near those of his father, and his hiding behind Rhea Ripley does not help his case either.

Even on this week's Monday Night Raw, Dominik was involved in a verbal altercation with Cody Rhodes and was left red-faced at the end of it. Enraged, Dominik proceeded to slap Rhodes, and before the American Nightmare could react, Dom hid behind Rhea Ripley. This drew a lot of boos from the crowd.

While these are some reasons why Dominik generates so many boos from the crowd, him milking his jail situation and claiming to be an ex-convict could be another potential reason. Whatever the reason may be, it is clear that Dominik is doing his best as a heel.
