I’m a third generation [wrestler]. My great uncle was the original Rey Mysterio. Then you have my ‘deadbeat dad’ and then, me. It was kind of a no-brainer to step into the family business and just see what I could do to hopefully take the Mysterio name to a different level,” Dominik Mysterio, known in wrestling circles as “Dirty Dom” and touted as one of the best Heels (a wrestler who portrays a villain) in the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) universe, tells us at Netflix’s office in Mumbai this week. 

Sitting next to him is Liv Morgan, a two-time Women’s World Champion and Dom’s on-screen girlfriend. She grew up with four older brothers who introduced her to WWE. “I loved women’s wrestling, the characters, the physicality, the competitiveness, the story and glamour of it all. It just became very much a safe space for me no matter what was going on. I knew I had Monday Night Raw and SmackDown to look forward to throughout the week.”
