Dominik Mysterio revealed what he did after winning the WWE Intercontinental Championship

Dominik Mysterio won the WWE Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 41. He dethroned Bron Breakker in a Fatal Four-Way Match, also involving Finn Balor and Penta.

Speaking on Busted Open radio, the reigning Intercontinental Champion stayed in character and revealed that he had shoved the title in his mother's face to prove her wrong soon after he had won. He said:

"I did one long glance, and out of the corner of my eye I saw my mom, and the only thing I did was shove the title directly in her face. Because I’m pretty sure none of them thought I could do it either.”

Dominik Mysterio's next big match in WWE will be against AJ Styles at SummerSlam 2025. RAW General Manager Adam Pearce made the match official after Mysterio was declared fit to compete after having pulled out of his title defence against The Phenomenal One before Night of Champions last month.
