Everything about Dom is awkward. It doesn't help he's sharing the ring with his HOF father so all his weaknesses are magnified. Neither does having him be Rhea Ripley's chew toy, as funny as it is.
Have him join Judgment Day in retaliation for Edge's spear. Give him a new look (he needs better gear especially a mask) and see if it helps.

He just not very good or well trained and since he been on the main roster for over good time now, he not gotten better. The fact Logan Paul was a better wrestler than him based off of Summerslam is saying something when Logan doesn't have the time and Dominik does.

Dominik is my go-to bitch to get jobbed out in 2k22, so he has that going for him. Although, with the recent DLC featuring Machine Gun Kelly, he has found some competition for now.
In real life, the kid does nothing in that ring that interests me. He's not terrible but I don't go out my way to watch his matches.

He's been on the main roster for about 2 years now and doesn't seem to have improved much in that time. Dominick definitely could use some reps in NXT.

I'm glad I'm not alone in using Dominik as my go-to jobber in 2K22.

The big issue for Dominik is he's being booked as Rey's son not ad Dominik Mysterio. When he debuted against Rollins the general feeling seemed to be he had a lot of talent. But he has absolutely stagnated since.
People compare him to Hook, but Hook's character isn't he is Taz's son. Hell look at Bronk Breakker. He isn't treated as a Steiner.
But yes Dominik needs NXT and needs to develop his own look and style

Needs more experience, but doubt he will ever be as good as his father. Could be a solid midcarder but needs his own identity and shtick away from his father. Never going to escape his father’s shadow. The new David Flair.

Everybody down on Dom now...watch, he later has a solo run as a heel and he is amazing at it. I'm neutral on him personally, but I could see it happening. Start off his heel run by recreating WCW Nitro 1996 with his father and Dom playing Kevin Nash. Now, I have this image of Dominik throwing his father into the side of the production truck like a lawn-dart. That just sounds awkward. Awkward but that is what I was going for.

I would just make a small change to his presentation to fix him:
First, have them re-establish - as we all know, of course - that Dominik is just a kid, just a tiny young kid, just a kid who can't be more than 15, 16 years old tops, the thing we all know to be true. On the next Raw, have Judgment Day kidnap Dominik and banish him to The Purple Dimension (from which they gained their powers) as Rey looks on in agony while Raw goes to a commercial break. When they come back, Edge shows up to help and enters The Purple Dimension to save Dominik and brings him back. But while Raw rolled on for only a few minutes in our time, for Dominik, a decade passed. A harsh decade where Dom had to fend for himself in the mysterious, dangerous Purple Dimension. He emerges a changed man, now a fully-grow adult of, say, 25 or 26, who is now played by Humberto Carrillo as Adult Dominik.
(Edge stays the same age because he was already exposed to The Purple Dimension. Or maybe he dyes his hair white? I'm good with either one.)

So I just seen some pictures from Raw of this absolute loser being choked out by a Rhea Ripley headscissors and I went into full-on Mouth in The Goonies “That was MY dream, MY wish!!!” mode.
I hate that punk even more now, dammit…

But look how much exposure Dom's had compared to him? How many main event adjacent/upper midcard angles he's been in where he'd surrounded by much more complete performers, which over exposes him. Compare Hook who they have used at a much slower pace to highlight his virtues in the ring, while hiding whatever shortcomings he may have at this point. Hook's been given the chance to grow, while Dom was just thrown into the deep end of the pool straight off. Right, but we're also 2 years into his full time run, he should be showing some sort improvement by now, whether it's in ring, body conditioning, or promos. How much longer should he be handled with kid gloves? Paradoxically being put on top of the card makes it harder to grow. His entire career has not put him in ANY position to grow. Every program he's been put in has been entirely centered and focused on his dad without him having any focus. Rey's been the one doing all the talking, most if not all of his matches are tag matches in which he's the face in peril giving him very little offense and so gives him very little opportunity to learn what does and doesn't work in ring with his father carrying everything. Body conditioning I'll give you but he's been given no opportunity to be made into a star. I'll also say Dom being Rhea Ripley's bitch also isn't helping matters of him looking like a star. Like the payoff of the story being his little sister defending his honor like "LEAVE MY BIG BROTHER ALONE!" really, really makes him look useless.

You know, had a weird thought of something to do with him (though this depends on how that stable works in the long run):
Do something to write Dominik off TV for a month or two...maybe longer. Have him train further behind the scenes, maybe make a different style than he's been using.
Then...have him appear with a new look in Joe Gacy's group on NXT.

The fact Logan Paul was a better wrestler than him based off of Summerslam is saying something when Logan doesn't have the time and Dominik does. That’s a really good point. Given…LP is probably getting paid immensely more but that also makes me think: “honestly: good on Rey for making sure his son gets paid.” AND “holy shit dom is getting paid for this”. I want Dom to lead a band of superhero teens on a CW network show. I want rey and Dom in a scooby doo style cartoon where Dom always screw’s things up. It’s been my headcanon that Rey secretly hates Dom but he’s too far deep and must continue.

He looked so pathetic at the end of Raw and it was hilarious. He took a spear and the show goes off the air with everyone concerned for his wellbeing. He's a wrestler who took a regular wrestling move. He'll be fine. They were acting the way they usually do when like a non-wrestler or a frail old legend takes a bump.
