Dominik Mysterio is set to put his WWE Intercontinental Championship on the line against AJ Styles at Night of Champions, a match that could mark a crucial turning point in the ongoing Dominik Mysterio Intercontinental Championship Night of Champions storyline. The high-stakes bout is scheduled for June 28, 2025, at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, amid swirling tensions within The Judgment Day and ongoing speculation about Mysterio’s future with the title and his faction.
Rising Pressure Among The Judgment Day Members
Since scoring the Intercontinental title win at WrestleMania 41, Dominik Mysterio has dealt with increasing strain inside The Judgment Day, particularly due to mounting friction with group leader Finn Balor. Fans and WWE insiders have noticed subtle hints and shifting alliances among Judgement Day’s roster—most notably, a growing rift as Roxanne Perez, JD McDonagh, and Balor seem more aligned, while Mysterio, Liv Morgan, and Raquel Rodriguez rally as their own unit. Morgan’s recent injury leaves Mysterio even more isolated, possibly making him vulnerable to Balor’s long-awaited payback for being pinned at Mania.
The tension is further amplified by AJ Styles’ pursuit of the Intercontinental title. Styles has openly targeted the championship for months, even when Bron Breakker was still holding the gold. As hints of betrayal and internal power struggles intensify, fans suspect that, should Mysterio fall at Night of Champions, Balor could use the opportunity to recruit Styles into The Judgment Day, reshaping both the stable’s dynamic and its future path.
Longstanding Rivalries and Potential New Alliances
There’s more at stake than just the title belt. The complex history between Finn Balor and AJ Styles—both former leaders of the famed Bullet Club—adds another layer of unpredictability. Their rivalry and shared past may play a role in any shifts within The Judgment Day, with the possibility of alliances being redrawn if Styles captures the championship. WWE’s storyline has also teased that Perez is rising within the ranks, while the company appears to have no immediate plans for Balor and McDonagh, despite their established presence on WWE RAW. This decision has led to frustration among fans, who argue that Balor deserves another top-title run, potentially at the expense of Mysterio’s momentum.
The promise of a “babyface turn” for Dominik Mysterio continues to grow. Since earning his first major singles title, Mysterio has gained support from the crowd, raising questions about whether a loss could trigger a character shift that propels him further as a fan favorite or sets up a new rivalry within The Judgment Day. However, most of these outcomes remain conjecture heading into the Night of Champions event.
The Stakes at Kingdom Arena
With Night of Champions fast approaching and WWE teasing major changes within one of its most prominent stables, the match between Dominik Mysterio and AJ Styles could be decisive for the Intercontinental Championship and the future structure of The Judgment Day. The Kingdom Arena in Riyadh is expected to be the setting for this potential upheaval, as the world watches to see if Balor seizes the moment for revenge, Styles claims the title, or Mysterio cements his place as a top WWE superstar.
The results of this event will shape the narratives on WWE RAW and could signal either the implosion of The Judgment Day or its painful evolution with new alliances—leaving fans eager for what comes next in this dramatic chapter of WWE storytelling.
