Summary

Dominik Mysterio believes his character would have fit naturally in WWE's Attitude Era, and he already knows one move he never wants to take again.

While speaking with Give Me Sport, Mysterio said that era suits the kind of attitude he brings to his on-screen persona. He also named Damian Priest's South Of Heaven chokeslam as the finisher he would gladly avoid for the rest of his career.

The timing is notable because Mysterio is also coming off his WrestleMania 42 Street Fight with Finn Balor, another example of WWE keeping him in volatile, high-contact rivalries.

Quote from Dominik Mysterio

"Definitely The Attitude Era. I mean, I just… I feel like I would fit in perfectly with a lot of the people that gave back attitude, you know? I got some attitude myself I'd love to give, so…"

Later in the interview, Mysterio named the move he would most like to stop taking:

"Probably Damien Priest's South of Heaven. He's just so tall, and he gets you even higher up there, so your bump is actually like 10 feet tall. So he's just.. it's not a fun one for sure."

Damian Priest still gives Dominik Mysterio a ready-made WWE hook

Damian Priest still hangs over Dominik Mysterio's WWE story because Mysterio went straight to South Of Heaven when asked which finisher he would most like to avoid. That gives WWE an easy callback if the two cross paths again, especially with their Judgment Day history already doing some of the storytelling for them.

Mysterio's Attitude Era answer also fits the role he plays now. His current character is built around getting a reaction, leaning into arrogance, and making himself a target, so the comparison feels consistent with how he is already presented on television.
