While speaking to The Babyfaces Podcast in a recent interview, Dominik was asked about Royal Rumble matches, with the younger Mysterio reflected on the bout where he was behind Randy Orton for the victory over his 'deadbeat dad'.

"Dude, I love the Rumble. It's one of those things where you really never know who's going to come out next. So it really is a surprise. But for me, one of my favorite Rumbles is when my deadbeat dad unfortunately won. I thought I was a big Randy Orton guy. So I thought Randy was going to take it. Then deadbeat just comes in and ruins it. But shout out to Triple H too, pulling him out, being a sore loser, throwing him against the steps. I thought that was pretty cool. I was like, all right, this is a done deal. Randy's got it in the bag. No. But anyways, I'm excited for the Rumble, man. The Rumble has always been one of my favorite pay-per-views of all time, for sure."
