Professional wrestling has always been favorable to its veterans. If you have built a popular following, chances are you can come back and rake in a quick paycheck.
Currently, there are multiple veterans who have a strong presence in the WWE. This includes CM Punk, Rey Mysterio, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
However, it seems that one current WWE Superstar is sick of these "old heads."
In an interview with Adam Barnard of Foundation Radio, Dirty Dominik Mysterio revealed that he wanted to face CM Punk and settle a feud from when he was a preteen.
"First of all, last I was in the ring with CM Punk, I was 11 years old, and he thought he was a big man, singing happy birthday to my loser sister," Mysterio said. "But anyways, I'd like to see him now."
"I was my dad's height [back then]. So now I'm 6'1, 200 pounds. I've seen him wrestle, CM Punk, so let's see what you got, old man."
However, Mysterio didn't stop there, calling out another unbelievably popular wrestler who he thinks is an "old man."
"Honestly, I'm just tired of these old heads thinking they can hang and come in here with this younger generation," Mysterio continued. "I don't even want to speak for everyone else. I'm speaking for just myself. The end of the day, I'm my own person. I'm the greatest Mysterio of all time."
"These old heads want to come in and get it, they all can. CM Punk, The Rock, don't matter. They're just mad because they don't have hair, and I have the best hair and the best mustache."

Dominik Mysterio first made his professional wrestling debut in the summer of 2005 at eight years old when his father, Rey Mysterio, wrestled Eddie Guerrero for custody.
More than a decade later, Dominik began training to be a wrestler. He eventually made his in-ring debut at SummerSlam 2020 against Seth Rollins.
Dominik would find success in a tag team with his father, winning the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship. However, he would soon turn on him and join The Judgement Day with Rhea Ripley, Damian Priest, and Finn Balor.
