Dominik Mysterio gets hilarious new nickname
Popular WWE star Dominik Mysterio was given a hilarious new nickname today. The Judgment Day star is the reigning Intercontinental Champion on WWE RAW.
CM Punk was a guest on Kevin Hart's Cold as Balls show at Fanatics Fest today and gave Mysterio a humorous new nickname. He suggested that Dominik Mysterio's real name was actually Brad and claimed that the champion calls him every morning for advice.
"Every morning, Dominik starts his day with a phone call to Uncle Phil, that's me, and we talk. We talk about life, we talk about the business, we talk about his sister. We both love his sister, Aalyah. Dominik is not even his real name; that is just his work name. His real name is Brad. I don't know if anybody knew that. Yeah, it is Brad," said Punk.

Punk will be challenging John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship at Night of Champions this Saturday night in Saudi Arabia.
Konnan comments on what WWE star Dominik Mysterio is like in real life
Wrestling legend Konnan recently shared that Dominik Mysterio's attitude is completely different from his on-screen persona in the promotion.
In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Bill Apter, Konnan described how different Mysterio was to his character in the company. The legend noted that Dirty Dom was respectful in real life despite excelling as a heel on WWE television.
"When he came in, he was basically Rey Mysterio's son and under his shadow. Of course, he is just starting. And then when they turned him heel, something clicked, because he is not that cocky arrogant guy you see, like in real life. He was always very quiet, very humble, and I was like 'Where the f*** did that come from?'" [From 1:22 onwards]

Mysterio will be defending the Intercontinental Championship against AJ Styles at Night of Champions this weekend in Saudi Arabia.
