Corey Graves Praises Dominik Mysterio's 'Complete Package' Appeal in AAA

WWE broadcaster Corey Graves believes Dominik Mysterio, the reigning AAA Mega Champion, is a "complete package" whose current performances in AAA offer a glimpse of his full potential. Graves expressed these sentiments in an interview with OutKick ahead of Triplemania 34.

Mysterio is scheduled to participate in two significant events at Triplemania 34 in Las Vegas. On Night 1, he was in the corner of Omos when the 7-foot-3 wrestler defeated Rey Mysterio at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. On Night 2, Mysterio is set to defend his AAA Mega Championship against El Grande Americano.

Graves noted that Mysterio's involvement in AAA allows him to display a different side of his persona, one with "a little more freedom to be how he wants to be." He suggested that this greater liberty in AAA is showcasing the "true essence" of "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio.

"We've had quite a few superstars come down for a cup of coffee or a few-month run and really reinvigorate themselves, if not reinvent themselves," Graves said. "And I think you're seeing the true essence of who ‘Dirty’ Dominik Mysterio is and who he's capable of being on a grand scale in AAA right now."

While Mysterio remains part of the Judgment Day faction on WWE programming, Graves anticipates that the charisma and connection Mysterio is currently demonstrating in AAA will eventually resonate more prominently on WWE's flagship shows, Raw and SmackDown. He attributed this to Mysterio's deep roots in the wrestling business and his unique connection with international audiences.

"So sometimes it doesn't happen overnight or as quickly as everybody would like to, but knowing this business as well as I think I do, I think on a long enough timeline, you're going to see AAA ‘Dirty Dom’ on Raw, on SmackDown because the guy's the complete package," Graves stated. "He grew up in the business. He's a savant for it and he just has this aura about him, and the way that the Mexican fans receive him versus the American fans is night and day. It's so much fun. But I truly think you see the best of ‘Dirty Dom’ in AAA."
