WWE’s Dominik Mysterio, known for his rebellious heel persona, once found himself in hot water with WWE officials backstage. Aiming to draw strong negative reactions from the crowd, Mysterio admitted in a recent “Towers of Power” interview that one of his actions crossed the line when he spat on Dragon Lee during a match. WWE management quickly reprimanded him, reminding him that spitting on opponents is not allowed in the ring. Mysterio explained that he thought spitting gum was different and didn’t realize it was against the rules. Additionally, a referee had to tell him to stop blowing snot rockets during commercial breaks. Despite these controversial antics fueling his heel success and crowd reactions last year, the enthusiastic support he received at WrestleMania suggests fans are beginning to embrace him, potentially signaling a shift away from such behavior in future matches.
Fan Take: This story highlights the fine line wrestlers walk between entertaining fans and respecting professional boundaries. Dominik’s evolving relationship with the WWE audience shows the sport’s dynamic nature, where characters can grow and adapt, keeping the product fresh and engaging for everyone.
