Dominik Mysterio has been sidelined following a shoulder injury suffered during the AAA Guerra de Titanes event, which will keep him out of action for an indefinite period, according to the latest Dominik Mysterio WWE injury update. The WWE Intercontinental Champion’s absence was confirmed during last week’s tapings and subsequent broadcasts.
Shoulder Injury Halts Dominik Mysterio’s Wrestling Run
During the AAA Guerra de Titanes event held on December 20, Dominik Mysterio, who currently holds the AAA Mega Champion title, teamed up with El Grande Americano to take on Rey Fenix and Rey Mysterio. Originally, the bout was meant to see the Lucha Bros reunite in the ring, but Penta was ruled out due to his own recent injury, sustained against Solo Sikoa in the Last Time Is Now Tournament. Dominik Mysterio stepped in as a replacement, but the event saw another setback as he suffered a shoulder injury during the match.
This development immediately cast doubt over his short-term future in wrestling, especially given his dual championship status with both AAA and WWE. Fans and followers that witnessed the event awaited further news, particularly as the latest episode of Raw had been pre-taped prior to the confirmation of his injury status.
WWE Confirms Lengthy Absence Following Latest Status
Reports from the evening of the AAA event indicate that Liv Morgan, appearing backstage with Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez, provided an unofficial early update regarding Dominik’s recovery timeline by mentioning his expected absence from wrestling action for an extended period. Later, during the Women’s World Championship match, Joe Tessitore made an official on-air confirmation, informing viewers about the nature and severity of Dominik’s injury. He specified that more details are awaited regarding the shoulder injury, but for now, the wrestler will be out for an undetermined length of time.
Impact on WWE and Champions Picture
Dominik Mysterio’s absence leaves a temporary gap in both the AAA and WWE line-ups, especially with his standing as the WWE Intercontinental Champion. The need to fill his position in upcoming events and potentially address the status of the championship may see further announcements from organizations like WWE and AAA in the coming weeks.
As one of WWE’s prominent figures and given his involvement in cross-promotional matches, this setback may affect ongoing storylines and scheduled appearances. Wrestling fans and the industry alike will be watching for further updates on his rehabilitation and any changes that may arise in championship dynamics as a result of this injury.
