Dominik Mysterio Comments on His Debut Match at SummerSlam & Backstage Reaction

TalkSport held a recent interview with Dominik Mysterio and some of the topics discussed included his thoughts on his WWE debut match at last Sunday’s SummerSlam event and the reaction to his match backstage.

On the topic of his WWE debut match at SummerSlam, Mysterio stated:

“Putting the match together, I couldn’t have picked a better person to help me with that than Seth and my dad. We also had the help of our producer Jamie Noble, another man who is outstanding at what he does. So I’m nothing but thankful to those guys for how they helped me and guided me through this crazy debut match at SummerSlam. Overall, I was very happy with the match.”

On the topic of the backstage reaction to his match, Mysterio stated:

“But the reaction backstage was crazy. I got very emotional, hugged my mom, hugged my dad, hugged Jamie, Seth — the whole deal. Everyone was very happy and clapping for me, so it was a surreal moment. I definitely gave the bossman [Vince McMahon] a hug afterwards and thanked him for the opportunity. It was just a crazy experience. From seeing other people and other wrestlers finish their matches and walk through gorilla and hug Vince and stuff like that, having that be my turn to do it… I’m forever grateful.”
