WWE Royal Rumble 2023: Predicting All 15 Wrestlers Not Yet Announced

11. Damian Priest

Dominik Mysterio is a much better nepo-baby now that he isn't playing Rey Mysterio's shoot small child.

WWE have taken everything that fans resented about Dom - his being useless and entitled, primarily - and realised that it's good heat. Dom is playing a deluded soft sh*te, a slippery little bastard who's good to capitalise on a distraction to land a roll-up pin.

To really get over that he's a spoilt brat with every advantage you don't have, Damian Priest should do all of the work to beat down various babyface nobodies - only for Dom to toss them out and celebrate like he's just scored the winner in the Champions League final.
