– During his appearance on The Pat McAfee Show this week, John Cena delivered high praise for WWE Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio, the son of WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):

John CEna on Dominik Mysterio: “Dom Mysterio is born for this. Period. I got to work with him very early in his career and I’ve had the chance to work with experienced talent and also the chance to work with a lot of new talent. You can tell right away, there are always late arrivals and people can not get it, and then figure it out, I’m a living example of that. There are also those people…I remember Randy Orton making everything look so easy.”

On how Dominik makes everything look effortless: “Dom just makes everything effortless. He doesn’t crack under pressure. Any pool we’ve dropped him in, he has not only treaded water, he’s swimming laps around everyone else. Dom Mysterio, we aren’t even close to what that kid is capable of. He’s incredible, and he’s going to be incredible for the next 20 years or as long as he wants to be in this business. He will be, and I love his dad [Rey Mysterio], he will be the most famous Mysterio.”

Dominik Mysterio picked up a huge win last Sunday at WrestleMania 41: Night 2. He won the Intercontinental Championship in a Fatal 4-Way against Bron Breakker, Finn Balor, and Penta. On last night’s WWE Raw, Dominik defeated Penta to retain the title.
