Dominik Mysterio has solidified himself as one of the top heels in WWE, drawing massive boos wherever he goes. However, during a live event in Dortmund, Germany, The Judgment Day member briefly broke character, paying tribute to Jey Uso—only to quickly double down on his villainous persona.
Dominik Mysterio Pays Tribute to Jey Uso’s ‘YEET’ Gesture
At the WWE live event at Westfallenhalle in Dortmund on March 15, Dominik Mysterio faced Jey Uso in singles competition. While Jey emerged victorious, it was an interaction before the match that caught the fans’ attention.
As Jey made his entrance, Dominik interacted with fans at ringside and even mimicked the ‘YEET’ gesture, which has become a signature part of Jey Uso’s character. Taking it a step further, Dirty Dom even asked a fan for YEET sunglasses and continued playing along.
However, just as fans started believing that Dominik was having a rare good-guy moment, he quickly tore down a poster with ‘YEET’ written on it, proving that his face turn was all a ruse. Despite his heel antics, Dominik did return the sunglasses to the fan, showing that he can still have fun with the WWE Universe.
Dominik Mysterio’s Surprising Praise for Roman Reigns
Outside of his in-ring antics, Dominik Mysterio recently made unexpected comments about Roman Reigns. While promoting WWE 2K25, Dirty Dom was asked about Reigns being on the game’s cover.
Despite their past tensions, Dominik praised The Tribal Chief’s accomplishment, acknowledging that it had been a while since Reigns was last featured.
“Oh, the OTC. Not surprised. I feel like it’s been a while since we have seen Roman [Reigns] on the [2K game] cover. It’s actually really cool. Despite our bad blood of him throwing me headfirst outside of the ring onto just nothing, this is a cool cover.”
This was an interesting moment of respect, considering Dominik has had a history of feuding with Reigns and The Bloodline.
Could Dominik Mysterio Turn Babyface in WWE?
Despite his massive success as a heel, there have been rumors that Dominik could turn babyface in the future. A potential reunion with his father, Rey Mysterio, could be a perfect way to bring him back to the light.
However, for now, Dominik remains one of WWE’s most despised villains, and moments like his fake YEET tribute only prove that he is still fully embracing his role as one of the company’s top antagonists.
Dominik Mysterio may have briefly played along with the fans, but he quickly reminded everyone why he is one of the best heels in WWE. Whether he eventually turns babyface or continues his dominant run as a villain, one thing is clear—Dirty Dom knows how to keep the WWE Universe talking.
