Most likely it's purely coincidence just because it is so bizarre. It's way fun to think there is something real about it though.
If not, here is my latest theory. It's kinda like a baseball pitcher who throws a fastball way high, to change the eye level of the hitter. Then the hitter lets a low strike go right past them.
Maybe Dom's style is just so different that it throws off the defense and the struggle to get back to their game plan.
