WWE star “The Viper” Randy Orton recently appeared on Logan Paul’s IMPAULSIVE podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including his relationship with WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio and how proud he is of Dominik Mysterio.

Orton said, โ€œHis dad and I are tight. Rey is probably the only guy back there that is freindlier than Omos. Rey took care of me back in the day. I wrestled Dom on Raw. It was such a pleasure to be out there with him. Just to be out there knowing, โ€˜I know your dad is at home watching, I want to make your dad proud.โ€™ It was a great feeling. I am so proud of Dom as well. When he first started coming up, Rey brought him around and it was like, โ€˜Ohhh, this kid needs another fucking ten years. He needs to go fight in a war or something and come back grizzled.โ€™ The tattoos help. Heโ€™s got it now.โ€

He also talked about Dominik Mysterio’s heel turn at the 2022 WWE Clash at the Castle Premium Live Event.

โ€œI remember that night, I texted Rey and Dom that night, he either clotheslined his father or kicked his dad in the nuts. Rey is such a lovable guy, and for himโ€ฆwe all grew up, 20 years ago, fans saw Dominik on television, he was involved in storylines. Everyone saw this cute little kid, and now here he is, heโ€™s disrespecting his father, who we adore. Booo.โ€
