We never really had the opportunity to sit down and discuss our plans which now in retrospect we can look at it and say it\u2019s still not late to make things happen like we had it planned out. I think Dom is going to have to earn the mask now. He\u2019s on his way, eventually one day, maybe the mask will be on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the mask talk, Dominick openly talked about his current run in WWE and how it came to be.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It kind of just happened,&#8221; Dominik said. \u201cIt was so weird, we never expected anything.
