Dominik Mysterio expressed visible frustration with Finn Balor after his recent defeat on WWE Raw, where he lost the Intercontinental Championship. The title changed hands on Monday night when Penta overcame Mysterio, ending his reign amid a series of unfortunate events influenced by both in-ring interference and external factors.
Key Moments Behind the Title Change
The loss was partially attributed to a curse placed on Mysterio by Danhausen, which seemingly affected his performance. More concretely, Finn Balor’s intervention played a pivotal role during the match. Balor prevented JD McDonagh from passing Mysterio the bell hammer, telling McDonagh that Mysterio needed to handle it himself. This decision slowed Mysterio down, enabling Penta to evade a 619 maneuver and execute the Mexican Destroyer to claim the championship.
Mysterio’s Public Expression of Distrust Toward Balor
Following the defeat, Mysterio took to Twitter, posting a photo taken inside his car with Ashanti’s song Foolish playing on the stereo. The image was accompanied by a subtle yet pointed caption: How I feel trusting finn, signaling his disappointment and mistrust regarding Balor’s actions during the match.
Balor’s Uncertain Role Within Judgment Day
Finn Balor has been navigating a complicated path recently, caught between adopting a more heroic “babyface” persona or remaining aligned with his heel tendencies. His ambivalence was evident in his failed challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship against CM Punk at WWE Elimination Chamber, further highlighting the tension within his character arc.
Looking Ahead: Mysterio’s AAA Championship Defense
While Mysterio’s WWE Intercontinental Championship run has ended, he remains the AAA Mega Champion. He is scheduled to defend this title against Il Hijo del Vikingo at AAA Rey de Reyes on March 14th. The match carries high stakes: if Vikingo loses, he cannot challenge Mysterio again as long as Mysterio holds the title. Conversely, if Vikingo wins, Mysterio must exit AAA, setting the stage for significant developments in that promotion.
Fan Reactions to Mysterio’s Post and Title Loss
Fans quickly responded to Mysterio’s tweet, capturing the mood surrounding his WWE loss and tension with Balor. One user posted, “Damn Dominik 👀,” reflecting widespread interest in the unfolding storyline and Mysterio’s evident frustration.
