"Holding down the top spot for the second year in a row with his ever-improving in-ring ability and magnificent work on the microphone, Dominik has carved his own path in pro wrestling. He spent 2025 entering the "so bad he's good" stage of his career, where he routinely gets the biggest crowd reaction -- positive or negative -- at arenas. He's the bad guy everyone loves to hate"
"and took his craft to the next level by holding the WWE Intercontinental and AAA Mega Championship titles simultaneously, appearing in both promotions throughout the year. Although he lost the Intercontinental Championship to John Cena on Nov. 10 on "Raw," Dominik hasn't lost momentum. He has become the perfect professional wrestler and a stellar heel who can't get enough of taking potshots at his father while routinely suggesting that his "real" father is the late, great Eddie Guerrero."
The third annual top-30 professional wrestlers under 30 list shows roster movement as several notable competitors missed the age cutoff (Toni Storm, Konosuke Takeshita, Kris Statlander, Logan Paul, Yuma Aoyagi, Jamie Hayter and Dragon Lee). The list features representatives from WWE, AEW, CMLL, Stardom, TNA, NJPW, NOAH and AAA. Rankings are based on merit, using criteria such as drawing power, popularity, in-ring skills, roster position and accomplishments including championships and tournament victories. Dominik Mysterio occupies the top spot after holding major titles, generating massive crowd reactions and refining a compelling heel persona in 2025.
