Dominik Mysterio, who holds both the WWE Intercontinental and AAA Mega Championships, is officially returning to action after an injury break. His comeback is scheduled for February 7 at the AAA event in Querétaro, Mexico, marking his first appearance since being sidelined.
Mysterio’s return is significant as he is set to defend his AAA Mega Championship against El Hijo Del Vikingo, who earned the number one contender spot by defeating El Grande Americano on the January 17 AAA broadcast on FOX.
Rivalry Heats Up Ahead of Rey de Reyes in Puebla
Dominik Mysterio confirmed in a video message aired on the January 31 AAA show that he will face El Hijo Del Vikingo at the Rey de Reyes event on March 14 in Puebla, Mexico. This match will be a major highlight given it takes place in Vikingo’s hometown, adding intensity to their rivalry.
In the message, Dominik addressed Vikingo directly:
“So, Vikingo, I’ll see you in Puebla, because it’ll be the last time I humiliate you, and it’ll be the last time you’ll be in the ring with me. At Rey de Reyes, we’ll once again crown the King of the Luchadores, Dirty Dominik Mysterio.”
Dominik’s words reflect the tension and high stakes surrounding this contest, where he vows to retain his title and assert his dominance in the AAA wrestling scene.
Details on Injury and Recovery
Mysterio’s absence since the December 20 AAA Guerra De Titanes event stemmed from a shoulder injury sustained during a tag team match alongside El Grande Americano against Rey Fenix and Rey Mysterio. Reports following the injury indicated that surgery would not be necessary, allowing for a recovery period that keeps him out of competition until early February.
This injury hiatus has kept fans waiting, but the announced return and title defense signal Mysterio’s readiness to reclaim his position and maintain his championship reign.
Implications for AAA and Wrestling Fans
Dominik Mysterio’s upcoming return and high-profile match against El Hijo Del Vikingo carry considerable weight for AAA’s ongoing narrative and championship landscape. This confrontation not only reignites a compelling rivalry but also draws significant attention as it brings together wrestling stars within Mexico’s vibrant wrestling culture.
For followers of WWE and AAA alike, Mysterio’s return marks an important moment, blending storylines and title defenses that will influence upcoming events in early 2026. The match at Rey de Reyes, especially in Vikingo’s home city of Puebla, promises a dramatic showdown that could redefine the AAA Mega Championship’s status.
