The SummerSlam major title match news has taken a new turn as WWE appears likely to schedule the previously canceled Intercontinental Championship bout between Dominik Mysterio and AJ Styles for its upcoming premium live event. This anticipated showdown was initially scrapped due to injury, but recent updates and insider commentary point to a high-stakes clash at SummerSlam, possibly set at MetLife Stadium.
Title Match Between Mysterio and Styles Back on the Table
Fans were disappointed when WWE called off the planned Night of Champions contest featuring Dominik Mysterio and AJ Styles for the Intercontinental Championship, following news of an injury Mysterio sustained. However, sources now indicate Mysterio’s time out of action will be brief, clearing the way for this major rivalry to pick up steam. The contest is no longer set for Night of Champions, but hope remains as WWE appears eager to deliver this headline match at one of its big shows.
The cancellation drew attention due to the high profile of both competitors. AJ Styles, with a reputation for athleticism and technical skill, was scheduled to meet rising star Dominik Mysterio, who has steadily gained momentum within WWE. Fans have followed updates closely, hoping to see Styles get another shot at the gold after the sudden disruption.
Insider Comments Suggest SummerSlam as the Likely Venue
WWE insider WrestleVotes shared insight into when this major title match could occur, dismissing the possibility of it being scheduled as early as the next Saturday’s event. According to his perspective, SummerSlam is being viewed as the event most suited to host such a high-profile clash:
“Don’t think the match takes place the next Saturday night, think it’s too soon. Plus, that card’s filling up and they’re presenting it as this PLE, this must-watch, which it will be, but it’s only two hours, about an hour and 27 minutes with commercial. So, I think that card is gonna be full enough. So, I’d expect that match to happen at SummerSlam, and I think it’s gonna be great when it does happen. So, MetLife Stadium looks like the place for that match.”
