Dominik Mysterio injury update: The current WWE Intercontinental Champion and AAA Mega Champion, Dominik Mysterio, may be sidelined from upcoming WWE events after reportedly suffering an injury during a recent wrestling appearance. Concerns over his condition have intensified following his absence from WWE Live Shows and a notable incident in the ring.
Incident at Guerra de Titanes Raises Alarms
Dominik Mysterio has enjoyed a standout year in wrestling, dominating midcard storylines, evolving both his in-ring skills and persona, and notably defeating John Cena at Survivor Series: WarGames 2025. His momentum was abruptly challenged during the AAA Guerra de Titanes event on December 20, where he teamed up with El Grande Americano to face Rey Mysterio and Rey Fenix. Near the conclusion of the match, Dominik appeared to injure his shoulder, raising immediate concern for his health and status.
The aftermath saw ‘Dirty’ Dom miss the next round of WWE Live Shows. Scheduled to compete against his father, Rey Mysterio, Dominik was ultimately pulled from the card and replaced by Grayson Waller. This unexpected change only fueled anxiety among fans, as his withdrawal suggested the injury may be more severe than initially believed.
Absence Sparks Speculation Among Fans
Mysterio’s absence became even more pronounced when he did not accompany Liv Morgan, his on-screen girlfriend, for her return match at a subsequent WWE event. The combination of his recent injury and these multiple absences has deepened fan concerns, with many now fearing a lengthy recovery ahead for the young superstar.
Intercontinental Title in Jeopardy?
If Dominik Mysterio’s injury proves significant, RAW General Manager Adam Pearce may be forced to intervene. Pearce could be tasked with stripping Mysterio of the Intercontinental Championship to maintain momentum within the division and offer opportunities for other wrestlers. Mysterio had reclaimed his title by triumphing over John Cena at Survivor Series: WarGames 2025, aided by the return of Liv Morgan, further adding to the stakes involved.
Uncertain Road Ahead for Mysterio and WWE
With the new year fast approaching, the situation leaves the WWE creative team, led by Triple H, with critical decisions regarding the Intercontinental Title and Mysterio’s future. The injury not only affects Dominik’s trajectory but also has ramifications for ongoing storylines involving Rey Mysterio, Grayson Waller, Liv Morgan, and the wider roster.
As updates emerge and alternate plans are discussed, the wrestling community will closely watch for official news, hoping for a swift recovery for Dominik Mysterio and clarity regarding the fate of the Intercontinental Championship.
