They don&#8217;t seem to see this as a heel cheating to win, but rather as someone paying homage to a close family friend that passed away. It also helps that Dominik is very entertaining when he does cheat.<\/p>\n<p><em>ARTICLE CONTINUED BELOW&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Check out the latest episode of the Wade Keller Podcast weekly Tuesday Flagship episode with guest cohost Zack Heydorn. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/new-flagship-keller-heydorn-talk-wwe-roster-depth-after-seth-and-fatu-injuries-cena-s-last-opponent-moxley-darby-joe-s-turn--68232660\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to stream (or search \u201cwade Keller\u201d on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or any other iOS or Android app to subscribe free)<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NEW FLAGSHIP: Keller &amp; Heydorn talk WWE roster depth after Seth and Fatu injuries, Cena's last opponent, Moxley-Darby, Joe's turn\" src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/player?episode_id=68232660&amp;theme=light&amp;playlist=false&amp;playlist-continuous=false&amp;chapters-image=true&amp;episode_image_position=right&amp;hide-logo=false&amp;hide-likes=false&amp;hide-comments=false&amp;hide-sharing=false&amp;hide-download=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200px\" frameborder=\"0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Though Dominik seems to be at odds with his Judgment Day peers, making a babyface turn relatively easy to pull off, there&#8217;s still the situation with the convalescing Liv Morgan that would have to be worked out. Could Morgan, as a heel, and Dominik, a babyface, work? Or would Morgan turn babyface to feud with Roxanne Perez, who has all but usurped her spot in the Judgment Day, including the attention of Dominik?<\/p>\n<p>Once a milquetoast babyface, it took a heel turn &#8211; one that not a lot of onlookers probably thought he had in him &#8211; for Dominik to eventually come back around to being an effective babyface.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s wild to think about Dominik as a babyface. While a turn hasn&#8217;t happened yet, it may not be worth it for WWE to fight the tide if it continues. It would also give them a potential top babyface to lead the AAA promotion as Vikingo hasn&#8217;t been getting that type of reaction despite being pushed as a big babyface star of the promotion.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Wade Keller Post-show (10\/20) - WWE Raw w\/cohost Kurt Cadet\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uv4hHaKZoDs?start=1&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3950265390\"><div id=\"pwtor-4086787342\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Dominik Mysterio has been increasingly cheered by live crowds over the last few months, including by those in AAA as he has made appearances with that group.
