Dominik Mysterio has been a prominent figure on WWE RAW since his surprising Intercontinental Championship victory at WrestleMania. Though not always actively defending his title, Mysterio has solidified his presence through his affiliation with the Judgment Day faction. The star is now gearing up to face AJ Styles in his first title defense, a match scheduled for SummerSlam that has generated considerable anticipation among wrestling fans.
Before this high-stakes showdown, Mysterio made an unexpected appearance at AAA Alianzas, where the passionate Mexican audience delivered a roaring reception. This appearance was followed by Triple H announcing Mysterio’s involvement in a fatal 4-way match for the AAA Mega Championship against El Hijo del Vikingo and others, signaling a potential expansion of his role beyond WWE.
Mysterio’s Potential Transition to AAA and Career Implications
Speculation is mounting that Mysterio may lose the Intercontinental Championship to AJ Styles at SummerSlam. Such an outcome could pave the way for him to focus on the AAA Mega Championship, a move that might also allow him to take a break from WWE’s Stamford-based operations. Reports from WrestleVotes suggest WWE is intrigued by the overwhelming reaction Mysterio received in Mexico and is considering positioning him as a leading figure within the AAA promotion, potentially granting him an extended stay there.
This proposed shift might afford Mysterio a fresh chapter in his career, becoming a central face for AAA and broadening his impact on the international wrestling scene. Fans await further developments to see what direction WWE and AAA will set for the young star and the Judgment Day stable.

Mr. Iguana, a celebrated legend within AAA, recently spoke about Dominik Mysterio’s growth and success in WWE during an interview with Bill Apter. He emphasized the natural talent and charisma Mysterio possesses, attributing much of his potential to his ties with legendary wrestlers, including his father Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero, and his godfather Konnan.
“He’s born with star, he’s born with charisma. So, that’s one thing you can’t learn, you’re born with it. His father is Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero was very close to him, Konnan is his Godfather. You have all these lucha growing up, you had to have this star. I’m a big fan of him. Right now, he’s doing heelish work, but he’s got a lot of charisma in it… When he debuted and he started to wrestle with Rey, I was very happy. Like how big it is to be in the ring with your father, and now having your own way.” —Mr. Iguana
Mr. Iguana’s perspective highlights how Dominik’s heritage and personal charisma contribute to his growing prominence as a singles star. He is viewed as a figure who could significantly boost AAA’s global recognition.
