Dominik Mysterio’s career has seen a significant boost after he betrayed his father Rey Mysterio and Edge, becoming one of the biggest heels in WWE today. His new heel character, dubbed “Prison Dom” by fans, has gained a ton of heat from the audience, and according to wrestling veteran Konnan, he believes Dominik is a better heel than the popular Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF).
In a recent interview, Konnan explained that being a heel is not just about being mean-spirited, but also about being someone that fans love to hate. He believes that MJF’s charisma and likability make it hard for fans to fully boo him, whereas Dominik’s straight-up heel character is more effective because people simply don’t like him. Konnan states that Dominik has a “hybrid situation” where he’s both likable and hateable at the same time, making him a more effective heel.
Dominik’s character development has been praised by fans and pro wrestling veterans alike, with some even comparing him to the great Ric Flair. His ability to get heat from the audience is a testament to his skill as a heel, and it will be interesting to see how WWE continues to develop his character in the future.

While some may disagree with Konnan’s assessment, it’s clear that Dominik Mysterio has finally found his footing in the WWE universe. His heel character has given him a new lease on life, and he’s now one of the most talked-about wrestlers in the company. Whatever the future holds for Dominik, it’s clear that his heel character is here to stay.
The fact that WWE considered sending Dominik to NXT in the past is now a distant memory, as he’s currently on the greatest run of his career as a heel. Konnan’s praise for Dominik’s character development is just the latest indication that he’s finally found his place in the WWE hierarchy. Ultimately, time will tell if Konnan’s assessment is accurate, but one thing is certain – Dominik Mysterio is a force to be reckoned with as a heel.
