Dominik Mysterio has introduced a bold new moniker for himself ahead of this week’s WWE RAW broadcast. The event is set to take place live at the Lenovo Center in Raleigh, North Carolina, underscoring the rising prominence of Dominik Mysterio’s character in the wrestling world.
The WWE star, who holds both the Intercontinental Championship and the AAA Mega Championship, recently embraced the nickname “La Cabra,” meaning “The Goat.” He shared this new identity on social media to emphasize his current dominance in multiple wrestling promotions.
Dominik posted a photo showing both his AAA Mega and Intercontinental title belts, celebrating his status as a dual champion. “La cabra 😈⚖️,” he captioned the image, highlighting the confidence behind his new persona.
He won the Intercontinental Championship by pinning Finn Balor at WrestleMania 41 and is scheduled to defend this title against Rusev during the upcoming episode of RAW. Earlier on the day of the show, RAW General Manager Adam Pearce made several announcements regarding the event, setting the stage for a significant title defense.
Insights on Dominik Mysterio’s Popularity From a Veteran Journalist
Bill Apter, a renowned wrestling journalist, recently shared his perspective on Dominik Mysterio’s current standing in WWE. Speaking on Sportskeeda’s Wrestling’s UnSKripted podcast, Apter observed that Dominik may have lost some of his momentum with WWE fans as of late.
“I am gonna give him, uh, what’s going on with him now, I think he has lost some of his heat. So I am gonna agree with you and right now I am gonna say Not (not hot). I think we may see a split with he and the Judgment Day. They seem to be stirring that up a little bit. I think that in terms of AAA, he has probably got more heat than he does at WWE at this point,” said Bill Apter.
Despite this assessment, Dominik’s recent victory over El Hijo del Vikingo at Worlds Collide 2025 to claim the AAA Mega Championship shows his strong position outside WWE. This situation presents an intriguing dynamic, as he balances his commitments and success between both AAA and WWE.
Upcoming Challenges and Potential Shifts on WWE RAW
Dominik Mysterio’s upcoming match against Rusev on RAW will be a critical moment for his reign as Intercontinental Champion. Given the possibility of storyline adjustments hinted by Bill Apter regarding Dominik’s relationship with the Judgment Day faction, the match takes on additional significance.
Fans attending the live event at the Lenovo Center and viewers tuning in from North Carolina can expect high stakes and potential developments in Dominik’s storyline. Meanwhile, General Manager Adam Pearce’s announcements may further shape the path for Dominik’s character and championship status moving forward.
