Bill Apter claims Dominik Mysterio has lost heat in WWE

Legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter recently suggested that Dominik Mysterio was not getting the same reactions as he used to from wrestling fans.

Speaking on Sportskeeda's UnSKripted podcast, Apter pointed out how popular Mysterio was becoming in AAA and suggested that he was not getting the same crowd reactions in WWE. The veteran stated that the company could make some changes to The Judgment Day soon.

"I am gonna give him, uh, what's going on with him now, I think he has lost some of his heat. So I am gonna agree with you and right now I am gonna say Not (not hot). I think we may see a split with he and the Judgment Day. They seem to be stirring that up a little bit. I think that in terms of AAA, he has probably got more heat than he does at WWE at this point," said Bill Apter.

Dominik Mysterio is involved in a storyline relationship with Liv Morgan, but the former champion has been out of action since suffering an injury during her singles match against Kairi Sane on the June 16 episode of WWE RAW. It will be interesting to see how much longer Mysterio can remain the Intercontinental Champion on the red brand.
