Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience, the Never-Seen Seventeen shared that he used to take risks at live events to see what worked, but the company doesn't do as many of them anymore. He noted that Dominik Mysterio was one of the only stars on the roster who took risks as a performer.

"I learned how to fail in those non-televised events. I could take big swings… I don't know how many people go out there, and just like Dom. Like that was an example of swinging big. 'I'm going to fake ring the bell, right? Will people even get that? Who cares? Let's try it.' He's the only one of those guys who will, or very few of those guys will stand on an idea like that. The other guys are like, ‘No I want to have a good choreographed performance because I want my stuff to look good because it's on television,'" Cena said.
