AJ Styles praises Dominik Mysterio’s WWE character development
Speaking on The Phenomenally Retro Podcast, AJ Styles praised Dominik Mysterio for creating his own identity and evolving into one of WWE’s top characters. He said, “He grew that mustache out and freaking rocking the mullet. Does it better than anybody. His character development and everything that he’s put into it, it works.”
He continued, “I’ve said this before. When he first got there, I was like, ‘Oh, I don’t know. I don’t know.’ Then he just blows everybody away. Once he turned on his dad, he turned it all the way up and hasn’t looked back since.” [H/T: Fightful]
