Dominik Mysterio is currently portraying the role of an incompetent nepo baby desperately trying to prove he belongs alongside more experienced and talented wrestlers.
Or, "portraying" is working harder in that sentence than Dominik Mysterio appears to be doing in wrestling training. Either way, the end result is utterly fantastic.

He's awesome at being the opposite of awesome, and long may it continue.
