Damian Priest and Dominik Mysterio shared the spotlight as members of WWE’s The Judgment Day for two years, but their connection runs much deeper than just being teammates. Priest recently revealed in an episode of Delivering Happiness that their friendship has grown so strong that he now sees Dominik, affectionately known as “Dirty Dom,” as family. Their bond began when Dominik debuted in the ring in 2020. Priest described Dominik as initially looking lost and directionless, simply enjoying wrestling alongside his father, Rey Mysterio. Things changed when Dominik joined The Judgment Day alongside Priest and Rhea Ripley, and their friendship grew as they spent time together not only at the arena but also on the road and during training sessions near Priest’s home in Orlando. Over time, their relationship solidified into a close family-like connection, with Priest noting how much Dominik has grown and changed since those early days.
At WWE SummerSlam 2024, Priest and Ripley parted ways with The Judgment Day, which continued with Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Roxanne Perez, JD McDonagh, Finn Balor, and Dominik. Dominik currently holds the WWE Intercontinental and AAA Mega Championship titles and remains one of WWE’s most controversial and high-profile wrestlers. Meanwhile, Priest continues wrestling regularly on WWE SmackDown and is currently engaged in a rivalry with Aleister Black.
Fan Take: This glimpse into the genuine friendship between Priest and Dominik adds a heartfelt layer to WWE storylines, making their on-screen dynamics more compelling. For fans, it’s a reminder that WWE isn’t just about scripted rivalries but also about real relationships that enrich the sport and its narratives.
