Dominik Mysterio has opened up about Cody Rhodes calling him the future of WWE.
During a recent appearance on ESPN First Take, former WWE Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio was asked for his thoughts on being seen as the future of WWE by his peers, including Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes.
“I feel like I’m just getting started, you know,” Dom said. “I started during the pandemic in 2020. The first half of my career, I had no fans. So now, leading into this, we get crowd reactions. For me, I live off that.
“And being able to — like you said — the future of WWE, and hearing Cody say that… Cody’s like that big brother who goes off to college. You don’t really see him all the time, but you get excited when he comes back to town. You want that stamp of approval from him. It’s really cool to hear that from him. It’s a blessing, man. I’m just fortunate to be able to do my thing.”

Cody Rhodes told the ALL THE SMOKE podcast that WWE management views Dominik Mysterio as the future of the company before giving his endorsement to the current AAA Mega Champion.
“Credit to whoever figures out — with load management — whoever figures out how we improve, and I’m seeing it. Dom Mysterio is probably my favorite example,” Cody Rhodes said. “Dom Mysterio does not have the amount of live events that we used to have, although he’s working multiple companies for WWE at the moment. Special, special talent.
“He’s somebody that’s often cited internally — I don’t think I’m giving anything away here — as somebody who’s gonna be the future of the WWE. He’s one of the ones that when it’s said, I believe it. I think I’m gonna come to a WWE show in 15 years and pay money to see and it will probably be Dom Mysterio on the top of the card, because he’s figuring out how to do it.”
