Dom is so great. I have a good connection with him in the ring.

The nature of our business goes, you just never really know how the audience is gonna react. You never know how things might go, or things might change in an instant. You have an idea, and then right before you go out there, the idea changes or something gets moved, and you just have to adapt and change on the fly, or do what you need to do in that moment. So I feel like if you can\u2019t adapt or can\u2019t with the program, it\u2019s gonna eat you up and spit you out.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dominik Mysterio will face Danhausen at the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">WWE<\/a> SummerSlam Premium Live Event.
