Dominik Mysterio hands unpopular WWE star a hilarious new nickname
Dominik Mysterio handed an unpopular WWE Superstar a new nickname today on social media. Mysterio is a member of The Judgment Day on RAW.
Austin Theory took to social media today to deliver a motivational message. The 27-year-old who plays an unpopular heel character in the Stamford-based promotion said that it was important to put in the work even on days when one does not feel up to it. Theory also added that he was motivated by the lack of doubt he had in himself.
"You know what motivates me? The lack of doubt I have in myself. The lack of doubt. Because I don't allow that, and sure, I'm a human. We all have thoughts, but when that doubt creeps in, it hits a wall, man. It hits a wall and it gets crushed," said Theory.
Dominik Mysterio responded to the former United States Champion's message in the comments section and hilariously referred to him as Mr. Krabs from SpongeBob SquarePants.
"I can feel it, Mr. Krabs," Mysterio wrote.

Mysterio defeated Bron Breakker, Penta, and Finn Balor in a Fatal Four-Way Match at WWE WrestleMania 41 to become the Intercontinental Champion.
WWE star comments on Dominik Mysterio potentially facing Rhea Ripley
RAW star Liv Morgan recently shared her thoughts on the possibility of Dominik Mysterio battling Rhea Ripley in a singles match.
In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling, Morgan claimed that the idea of Mysterio facing Ripley was dumb. She noted that Dirty Dom was a gentleman who would never hit a woman and that he had already gotten the better of The Eradicator emotionally, so there was nothing left to fight about.
"Why do you wanna watch Dominik crush Rhea? First of all, Dominik, he's such a gentleman. He's not gonna hit a woman, so that's just dumb. But, also, if that were to happen, you like Rhea, I'm assuming, he already crushed Rhea mentally and spiritually and emotionally." [2:38 – 3:04]

Mysterio used to be in a storyline relationship with Ripley but betrayed her at WWE SummerSlam last year to align with Liv Morgan. It will be interesting to see how long Dominik Mysterio can hold onto the Intercontinental Championship moving forward.
