A childhood crush of Dominik Mysterio‘s recalled a backstage encounter.
In a turn that nobody else saw coming, Dominik Mysterio became a popular name among WWE’s women’s locker room. He was in an onscreen relationship with Rhea Ripley in the past, and currently, he’s in a storyline with an injured Liv Morgan, but Roxanne Perez also doesn’t hide the fact that she is vying for his attention as well since joining The Judgment Day.
Although there have been several women in Dominik Mysterio’s life, the person who caught his attention first was Torrie Wilson. Earlier this year, the Intercontinental Champion admitted that the WWE Hall of Famer was one of his first few childhood crushes, along with Vanessa Hudgens.
Years later, it’s now Mysterio who is actively wrestling in the Stamford-based promotion, while Wilson has already retired from the squared circle. Despite Dirty Dom portraying a heel character, Torrie had nothing but fond memories of her interactions with the younger Mysterio.
In a recent interview with SHAK Wrestling, Torrie Wilson recalled seeing Dominik Mysterio backstage when he was still a kid and called him “the cutest,” adding that she wanted to squeeze him. The Hall of Famer added that it was surreal to see how far The Judgment Day member had come since then:
I totally remember him coming backstage as a kid. He was the cutest kid. You just wanted to squeeze him. If you can see in that photo, and I mean, both of his [Rey Mysterio] kids are just so adorable, but it’s crazy to see how far he’s come.” [H/T Fightful]

Dominik Mysterio Might Become A Double Champion Soon
It’s hard to fill the shoes of a wrestling legend like Rey Mysterio, but Dominik Mysterio has proven he could do that and more. Since becoming a heel, he has impressed fans and professionals with his character work and in-ring skills, earning him several accolades in the process.
The Judgment Day member is a two-time NXT North American Champion and a former SmackDown Tag Team Champion alongside his father, Rey Mysterio. He is also the current Intercontinental Champion, but he might be lifting another title soon.
On August 16, Dominik is set to battle El Hijo del Vikingo, Dragon Lee, and El Grande Americano in a 4-Way Match for the AAA Mega Championship at TripleMania XXXIII. As per reports, WWE is eyeing the younger Mysterio to win the gold, making him a champion in both the Stamford-based and Mexican promotions.
