Dominik Mysterio has established himself as one of the main roster’s top superstars. Since making his debut at SummerSlam in 2020, he has made a name for himself among the wrestlers on the Raw and SmackDown roster. And that too without previously going through NXT. However, sometime later, he did engage in some business in the Black & Gold brand. He even became the NXT North American Champion on two occasions.
All in all, now that he has spent time in the three brands, Dirty Dom is already on his path to becoming a veteran of the sport. And like every good veteran, he too has become a mentor to young superstars. One of which turned out to be Zilla Fatu.

In fact, he already has two mentors out there, as he revealed in a recent interview with Zoey Franchize. He said, “Carlito is one of the main mentors that I tap in with every day. Dom you feel me.
