Tue Nov 26 18:14:55 UTC 2024: ## Dominik Mysterio Ousts MJF as ESPN’s Top Wrestler Under 30
**ORLANDO, FL** – In a surprising upset, Dominik Mysterio has dethroned AEW champion MJF to claim the top spot on ESPN’s annual list of the 30 best wrestlers under 30. The 27-year-old Mysterio, known for his heel turn and controversial alliance with The Judgement Day, has captivated audiences with his villainous persona and improved in-ring skills.
ESPN lauded Mysterio’s “ultimate heat magnet” status, citing his “mullet and cartoon villain mustache” and his relationship with Liv Morgan as key factors in his success. The article praised his ability to generate genuine audience disdain, a rare feat in an era often dominated by “cool” bad guys. His consistent TV presence and undeniable improvement have solidified his position as a top WWE performer.
Last year’s top-ranked wrestler, MJF, dropped to second place in the 2024 rankings. Fellow WWE star Rhea Ripley, who previously held the number two spot, came in at number four this year. The list notably features seven AEW talents within its top ten. The full top ten list is available on ESPN.
