Dominik Mysterio Addresses His Tension With Finn Balor Heading Into WrestleMania 41

– During an appearance on today’s edition of the Raw Recap podcast, WWE Superstar Dominik Mysterio addressed his tension with stablemate Finn Balor heading into WrestleMania, his iconic WrestleMania 39 entrances, and more. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):

Dominik Mysterio on his WrestleMania entrances: “Yes and no, because I feel like that, like you said, that entrance was so special. I feel like I’ve gotten so lucky with my entrances. Unfortunately, my first WrestleMania, it would have been a lot cooler if I popped up by myself. But I had to do it with that deadbeat. But then, WrestleMania 39, I get the paddy wagon coming out, got the OG Rey Mysterio mask. That’s, it should be a Dom Mysterio mask, but it is what it is.”

On his WrestleMania 39 entrance: “I just, I think it was so iconic. What’s so cool about that is that like Triple H said, he’s- it’s about making moments and he helped me make that moment. Cause I was, I was unaware. I thought I was just going to make my way down the ramp, like every other superstar, but little did I know he had, this vision of my entrance that it was just so cool and iconic now as only my second Mania. Like you said, it’s a forever moment, and only my second WrestleMania.”

On his tension with Finn Balor and if Balor sees him as setting up: “Yeah, of course. I don’t know why you would say it like that, that he wasn’t thrilled. I think it was just more of the fact that he was unaware of what was going on, right? Because obviously he’s going to be happy for me. Like I’ve said it many times before, Finn is the dad that stepped up. He’s my guy. He’s been there from the beginning for me.”

On Balor feeling “shook”: When he found out, he was a little bit shooketh, and I think it’s because he was unaware of the situation, like I said. But now that he fully understood and we have better chances of getting gold to the Judgment Day, he’s cool with it. But I think at the end of the day, we’re on the same page.”

Dominik Mysterio competes for the WWE Intercontinental Championship this weekend at WrestleMania 41: Night 2 on Sunday, April 20. He faces champ Bron Breakker, Finn Balor, and Penta in a Fatal 4-Way bout. The premium live event will be held at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada. It will stream live on Peacock.
