In a relatively short of span, Dominik evolved from a bland babyface to one of the most hated heels in all of WWE.
He's come into his own as a member of The Judgment Day and has truly found his footing in the heel role. Eddie was also an exceptional heel at various points in his career, and Dom emulating Eddie is not lost on the former World Heavyweight champion.
"I see a lot of bits and pieces [of Eddie in Dominik], even if it's sudden movements that he does or pictures that I see," Rey told B/R. "I'll compare him to a picture that I have of Eddie and go, 'Wow.' I tell my wife, 'Did you really cheat on me with Eddie?' and say, 'Look at him there and look at him here.' She always says to me, 'Yeah, I did and I didn't tell you.' No, I always enjoy seeing that because Eddie represents so much, not only to me but my entire family and to Dominik."
Rey admitted to catching Dom watching videos of Eddie when he was first breaking into the business, doing everything he could to learn from one of the best ever and pay homage when possible.
"The frog splash, when he did it for the first time at Survivor Series 2019 when I faced Brock," he said. "That was the first time he did a frog splash. I remember when he was asked, 'Hey, can you do the frog splash?' 'Yeah, yeah, I can.' Afterward, I asked him, 'Have you done it before?' He goes, 'No.' Things like that and to see his growth now and how he does it nowadays, I truly enjoy it and I have a lot to thank Eddie for."
