Dominik Mysterio Says He Was ‘Smiling From Ear To Ear’ When Seth Rollins Cashed In On CM Punk

Dominik Mysterio reacts to Seth Rollins’ WWE SummerSlam 2025 cash in.

On night one of the SummerSlam Premium Live Event, CM Punk would challenge Gunther for the WWE World Championship in a brutal match. In the end, Punk would score the victory off a GTS following Gunther getting busted open. However, while celebrating in the ring, Seth Rollins would enter the stadium on crutches. Rollins would then drop the crutches before cashing in his Money In The Bank briefcase to take the championship off Punk.

One man who was very excited to see Rollins cash in on Punk was Dominik Mysterio, who has been vocal about his hatred for CM Punk. In a new interview with The Wrestling Classic, Dominik spoke about the cash in, noting that he was smiling ear to ear

“I don’t know if I’ve, like, said it already. I might have said it in a couple interviews. But I was a fan, you know, watching SummerSlam night one, and I was extremely sad and depressed when I saw that he had won the title. You know, just not because he had won it, just because, you know, I don’t think he deserves it. I don’t think he deserves to be in that spot. But at the end of the day, I was smiling from ear to ear when I saw Seth Freakin’ Rollins. In lucha tradition and lucha culture, when you debut with someone, you call them a padrino, right? So in lucha terms, Seth is my godfather when it comes to this. So I was so excited when I heard his music, but then he came out in crutches, so I was like, damn, now this is just like a teaser. He drops the crutches. I was so stoked, smiling from ear to ear, screaming, I was just happy. Other than night two at SummerSlam, that was my favorite moment of the weekend.”

Recently, Mysterio spoke about possibly facing off with his father for the AAA Mega Championship. You can read more about that here.
