Dominik Mysterio has cleared up the misunderstanding about his conduct on Raw’s Netflix premiere episode earlier this month.
The January 6 episode of the Red Branded Show saw Rhea Ripley dethroning Liv Morgan to win back the Women’s world title.
Dirty Dom entered the ring after the bout. When the Mami looked at him, he opened his arm for a hug. The former Judgment Day star, however, kicked him instead and hit a Riptide on Mysterio before leaving.

The young veteran was asked about his actions during an interview with Theonemona at the Royal Rumble press event. Dominik Mysterio claimed that people misunderstood his intentions and he was actually trying to get the title belt back for Morgan:
“So there is a huge misunderstanding there. Liv and I had agreed that if, for whatever reason, she did not end up with the title, I would steal it and run away and we would figure it out. So that’s what I was going for. I was going in for the sneak hug, steal the title, and dip. But she caught on, I guess. That’s the real story.”
The 27-year-old was also asked about his status for tonight’s Royal Rumble match. He claimed that the officials don’t share their plans with him so he doesn’t know if he’ll be entering the battle royal.
While Dirty Dom is not sure about entering the big match at the show, there are several other names who could be participating in the bout. You can check out our Royal Rumble hub for the latest updates on the PPV whole day.
