While speaking on the latest episode of the RAW Recap podcast, former WWE Champion Big E praises Dominik Mysterio for being smart.
“I think he uses his brain better than a lot of other Superstars. He has outwitted many, he has manipulated many, continues to get away with it.
“Obviously I’m not you Sam (Roberts) as far as being the biggest Dom cheerleader, but this man has a way of captivating people and being able to pull the puppet strings and manipulating them, and to me, I feel like from the outside looking in, it’s all very clear what this man is doing. He’s only in it for himself, he’s using other people for himself.
“To me, it seems clear, but for some reason, the people around him, he’s able to push and pull.
“And look, we’ve had him on the post-shows before and he does have an undeniable charm. I feel like I can see through it, but I get how he’s able to coax other people into doing his bidding, I understand.”
