10 Most Underrated Wrestlers Of 2023

10. Dominik Mysterio

At the start of 2023, it seemed likely the nicest thing anybody would have to say about Rey Mysterio's fairly feckless son was that he was just about able to hold his own against his legendary Father in a bells-and-whistles WrestleMania match.

But Dominik Mysterio has, remarkably, gone from strength to strength.

Once charming because of how obviously useless he was between the ropes, 'Dirty Dom's advancement to "competent" over the last 12 hasn't just increased his value to the main roster or The Judgment Day, but also to WWE's developmental system.

As the rat with no right to hold NXT's broadly prestigious North American Championship, Mysterio has found a niche that has nothing to do with his "deadbeat Dad", and it's been vital to his trajectory. Having worked and/or watched countless tag team matches on the main roster, it's on Tuesday nights where he's been a draw for viewers and a key figure in the lives of Wes Lee, Trick Williams, Dragon Lee and others. He's a three-brand star during the most successfully synergistic period in NXT's history - and the experiment shows no signs of slowing down.
