By Matthew CoudenShareNewsweek is a Trust Project memberDominik Mysterio is continuing his ascension as a bona fide superstar in WWE, due to his heelish persona, heat-generating promos, and impressive in-ring work. He was among the company's double champions, holding both the AAA Mega World Championship and the WWE Intercontinental Championship at the same time.
However, fans saw wrestling legend John Cena receive an impromptu match for the IC title on "Monday Night Raw" in Boston after "Dirty Dom" interrupted his time talking to the fans. Despite Dom's attempts to cheat to victory, Cena captured the only championship he'd yet to hold in his career, becoming a grand slam champion.
On this past week's Raw, the former champion demanded a rematch on his terms at this month's WWE Survivor Series: WarGames. Cena granted his request, meaning Dom gets two of Cena's final four matches before retiring from WWE.

Along with his championship pursuits, fans have seen Dom involved with several women during his WWE path. In particular, he was associated with his former Judgment Day stablemate, Rhea Ripley, for months before a surprising double-cross in which he helped Liv Morgan defeat Rhea for the Women's Championship.
...Ahead of this month's rematch against Cena, Dom appeared in an interview conducted by actor Nick Turturro for his "Delivering Happiness" show on YouTube. He mentioned Dom as the "greatest ladies' man" because of his various relationships. That prompted Dom to respond, throwing some shade at his father, Rey Mysterio, before discussing the WWE women.
"I don't want to get ahead of myself, but you know, like I said before, there's a reason my dad wears a mask, because he's ugly. I don't need to wear a mask because I'm a good-looking dude. I got the tattoos, the mustache, [and] the girls love the mullet. So, it's like, you know, had a little situation with Rhea Ripley, put her to the side, because of Liv Morgan came along and she was 10 times better. Still with Liv, there's a couple other situations though," he told Turturro.

He mentioned that Tiffany Stratton also tried to get with him at one point, when she was holding the Money in the Bank briefcase, and suggested to Liv that if she cashed in on her and won her championship, Dom would also be part of the deal.
"There's a picture out there of Trish Stratus holding me, as an adult. But I mean, I don't know, I get around, I guess," Dom boasted to Turturro.
Along with the situations he mentioned involving Liv and Rhea, there's also been minor teasing about his new Judgment Day stablemate, Roxanne Perez, possibly having some interest. That hasn't fully emerged, but it seems like a storyline to keep an eye on for once Liv makes her return to WWE.
Of course, Dom is keeping it all in character for this interview, as he was married last year to Marie Juliette.
In the meantime, Dom gets his huge rematch opportunity in Cena's second-to-last match, when they battle at WWE Survivor Series War Games. The premium live event streams exclusively on the ESPN app on Saturday, Nov. 29, from Dom's hometown of San Diego, California.
