Dominik Mysterio emerged as the new AAA Mega Champion by defeating El Hijo del Vikingo during the main event of WWE x AAA Worlds Collide. The match took place on Friday, delivering a dramatic conclusion after outside interference played a pivotal role.
The turning point came when El Grande American intervened, distracting Vikingo. As Vikingo attempted to stop Americano and pull off his mask, Americano slid a loaded mask into the ring. Capitalizing on the opportunity, Mysterio executed a leaping headbutt followed by a frog splash to secure the victory and claim the title.

The match was further complicated by interference from the faction known as The Judgment Day, who tried to influence the outcome. However, Rey Mysterio, Dominik’s father, arrived to thwart the faction’s actions and safeguard his son’s win. After the match, Rey presented Dominik with the AAA Mega Championship belt as promised. Dominik surprised many by insisting his father place the title on him personally, then promptly sent Rey backstage.
