At the Worlds Collide event, Dominik Mysterio stunned WWE fans by capturing a significant new title during the WWE SmackDown broadcast. The dramatic moment unfolded when Dominik enforced a high-stakes stipulation involving his father, Rey Mysterio, which set the stage for an intense clash for the AAA Mega Championship.
The High-Stakes AAA Mega Championship Bout and Dominik’s Triumph
Earlier in the evening, Dominik challenged Rey Mysterio by declaring that if Rey succeeded in winning the AAA Mega Championship, he would have to place the belt on Dominik’s waist. Rey accepted the condition, raising the tension for the match’s main event. Despite his determination, Dominik appeared nervous and overwhelmed by the challenge, struggling against the swift and powerful El Hijo del Vikingo.
During the bout, interference added chaos to the contest. The Judgment Day faction appeared but failed to offer direct assistance, resulting instead in a distracting scene. Rey Mysterio chased them away, while El Hijo del Vikingo’s focus wavered due to El Grande Americano’s presence. Seizing the opportunity, Dominik used a loaded mask to incapacitate Vikingo, then executed a splash to secure the victory.
Following the win, Dominik compelled his father to place the AAA Mega Championship belt around his waist. He then berated Rey and declared himself “The King of the Luchadors,” marking a bold new chapter in his career.
Dominik’s Challenging Position Within Judgment Day and His Growing Isolation
In recent months, Dominik Mysterio’s relationship with the Judgment Day faction has become strained. With Liv Morgan sidelined due to injury, Dominik has found himself more isolated. Finn Balor has distanced himself from Dominik, excluding him from core group activities and expressing disapproval of Dominik’s association with El Grande Americano.
Balor even warned Dominik that he would be left to fend for himself, framing this as an opportunity for Dominik to prove his worth. Although members of the faction appeared during the championship match, Balor’s inaction almost jeopardized Dominik’s effort. This tension emphasizes Dominik’s precarious position, fighting to defend his title without full support from his faction.
“Balor even told him that he would be alone, and has left him to defend his title by himself with the excuse of giving him the chance to prove himself.” —Unknown Source
“He then forced Rey Mysterio to put the title around his waist while he berated his own father. Finally, he gave himself a new name, calling himself, The King of the Luchadors.” —Unknown Source
Dominik Mysterio’s new championship win at Worlds Collide signifies a pivotal moment in WWE, not only elevating his status but also deepening intra-faction conflicts. His self-coronation as king of the luchadors suggests a shift toward a more confrontational persona, potentially leading to heightened rivalries. How this victory will affect the balance within Judgment Day and Dominik’s future storylines remains a key point for WWE fans to watch.
