WWE Royal Rumble 2023: Predicting All 30 Entrants

18. Dominik Mysterio - #13

The Rock Royal Rumble

Dominik Mysterio is in the Royal Rumble match to do things: chew bubblegum and be a useless tw*t.

And he's all out of bubblegum.

Happily, like a self-aware David Flair, he knows he's not very good and has been told to embrace that as part of his character. Played by a man in his mid-20s, he is the teenage dork in a three camera sitcom corrupted by the local bad seed. During the Rumble, he will mostly whine and beg his stablemate to save him from elimination, maybe eliminate somebody himself so that he can wear the sh*t-eating grin that suits him quite well, and set up the biggest match of his career...
