Fans anticipating Dominik Mysterio’s comeback from injury may see him back sooner than expected, as reports indicate the Intercontinental Champion might return to WWE’s Monday Night RAW on February 2, 2026, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. According to PWInsider and Wrestling Observer, his return is imminent and aligns with prior timelines suggesting a recovery period of about three to four weeks.
Mysterio sustained the injury on December 20, 2025, during a Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide match, meaning his potential return would come just under two months later. Notably, he did not require surgery, which has contributed to expectations of a relatively quick recovery.
Details Surrounding Dominik Mysterio’s Injury Incident
The injury occurred at the AAA Guerra De Titanes event, where Mysterio teamed with El Grande Americano, also known as Ludwig Kaiser, to face his father, Rey Mysterio, and Rey Fénix. The injury happened as Dominik took a DDT maneuver from his father, prompting him to clutch his shoulder immediately after the impact.
As Mysterio prepares to return, the WWE storyline around him remains complex. Judgment Day faction developments, including Finn Bálor’s possible shift to a face character and Liv Morgan’s victory at the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble, add layers of drama. Morgan’s win was marked by the elimination of fellow Judgment Day member Raquel Rodriguez, setting a tense context for Mysterio’s re-entry.
Dominik Mysterio’s Current Standing and Career Achievements
Dominik Mysterio currently holds the WWE Intercontinental Championship for the second time and simultaneously reigns as the AAA Mega Champion in Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide. Throughout his young career, he has also been a two-time NXT North American Champion and captured the SmackDown Tag Team Championship alongside his father, Rey Mysterio.
His impending return could influence ongoing storylines significantly, especially given the recent tensions within Judgment Day and other WWE narratives. Observers will be closely watching how Mysterio integrates back into WWE programming, both as a champion and as a key figure involved in emerging drama.
