Dominik Mysterio revels in being the bad guy: “I enjoy being a bad guy. I feel like I have more liberty in what I can do, say, and get away with. I feel like I’m pushing the boundaries a little bit more. This might sound terrible, but kids and their dads will show up to events and I’m like, ‘Is that your dad? He’s probably a deadbeat too.’ So it’s just getting to have more fun with them other than being a good guy. I’ve witnessed that my whole life with my dad. I wanted to do something different with the Mysterio name.”

Saraya says she hasn’t spoken to WWE since leaving AEW: “That’s something that with this year, I kind of want to get all my business and stuff, deals out the way, like under my name and all that kind of stuff. Because I’m not – people think I’m going back to WWE or whatever, because there’s this huge rumor mill happening right now, but I haven’t spoken to them. At least not right now, I haven’t spoken to them. I’m also focusing on my podcast, acting, all that kind of fun stuff too. I wouldn’t want it to affect my brand. And I feel like WWE now is being more open and receptive to people doing outside stuff. They are much more comfortable with that and are much more accepting of that. I feel like, if I ever did go back, I feel like they would be understanding at this point and kind of let me do my thing.”
Chris Sabin says being part of WrestleMania 41 is a dream come true: “A dream come true. That’s what it sounds like. One of the first pay-per-views I ever saw was WrestleMania IX, and that took place at Caesars Palace in Vegas. Las Vegas. Which is kind of funny because WrestleMania is in Vegas this year, too, so it’s just kind of cool. Full circle moment. So, yeah, it would just, of course, be a dream come true to be on WrestleMania.”
