AJ Styles has been aggressively chasing an Intercontinental Title match against Dominik Mysterio, who has rarely defended the belt since capturing it at WrestleMania. Originally, Styles was set to face Dirty Dom at Night of Champions, but the match was canceled due to a medical report declaring Mysterio unfit to compete. Despite these setbacks, Styles could soon get his shot at the title and possibly win a world championship following SummerSlam 2025.
During the latest episode of RAW, General Manager Adam Pearce announced that Dominik Mysterio will undergo a medical evaluation next Monday. If cleared, he will be required to defend the Intercontinental Title against AJ Styles at SummerSlam, WWE’s flagship summer event often described as The Biggest Party of the Summer.
Potential for a Double Championship After Slammiversary Return
AJ Styles is also set to make a significant return to TNA Wrestling, the promotion where he first rose to fame, at this Sunday’s Slammiversary pay-per-view. At 48 years old, Styles’ homecoming could lead him to secure the TNA World Title, potentially making him a double champion if he succeeds at SummerSlam later in the summer.
While this storyline has sparked excitement, it remains speculative, and fans will need to monitor upcoming developments to see if these championship dreams become reality.
The Challenge for AJ Styles at SummerSlam if Dominik Mysterio Competes
Though AJ Styles is the clear favorite to win if Dominik Mysterio is medically cleared, the situation may not be straightforward. The Judgment Day faction, which supports Mysterio, currently dominates RAW by holding multiple titles, providing Dominik with a strong numbers advantage during his matches.
This backing could make it difficult for Styles to capture the Intercontinental Title, as the champion may rely on his faction’s interference to retain the belt. However, this scenario remains hypothetical, with no official confirmation on how this angle will unfold.
