At the WWE–AAA Worlds Collide event held in Las Vegas on September 12, Dominik Mysterio captured the AAA Mega Championship by defeating El Hijo Del Vikingo in the main event. Already holding the WWE Intercontinental Championship, this victory marked Mysterio as a double champion, generating significant buzz around his career trajectory. His win, however, was not without controversy due to outside interference.
During the match, Mysterio received a hidden assist from El Grande Americano, who discreetly slid a metal object into the ring. Mysterio concealed the item under his white mask and used it to headbutt Vikingo, a move the referee did not see. He then executed a frog splash from the top rope to secure the decisive pinfall.
