Dominik Mysterio, the WWE Intercontinental Champion and AAA Mega Champion, has not competed since suffering a shoulder injury at the Guerra de Titanes event last December. Despite his absence from wrestling matches, he remained visible through video segments in Lucha Libre AAA and made a recent appearance on WWE RAW to support Liv Morgan’s Royal Rumble victory.
Signs Pointing to Mysterio’s Imminent Return
According to reports from Fightful Select, WWE is optimistic that Dominik Mysterio will return to in-ring action shortly, marking the end of his injury-related break. His recent attendance at a Lucha Libre AAA event sparked confrontation with El Hijo del Vikingo, the former AAA Mega Champion and current number one contender.
Upcoming Title Defense and Future Matches
Mysterio is set to defend his AAA Mega Championship against El Hijo del Vikingo in the main event of Rey de Reyes on March 14, 2026. However, details about his next WWE Intercontinental Championship defense remain unknown. He captured the title from John Cena at Survivor Series: WarGames last November but has yet to defend it since securing the championship.
Implications of Mysterio’s Return for WWE and AAA
Dominik Mysterio’s expected comeback is significant not only for WWE fans eager to see him back in action but also for the AAA promotion as his title defense approaches. His return promises to renew competition in both promotions and could mark the resumption of important storylines and rivalries. WWE and AAA audiences will be watching closely as he prepares to step back into the ring.
