Triple H crowns Dominik Mysterio with new WWE name

WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H recently confirmed a major new name for Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio. The Judgment Day star is currently in a feud with AJ Styles.

AJ Styles has been eyeing Dominik Mysterio's IC title for a while now. The stars have come face-to-face in several promos, but they haven't wrestled each other yet because ''Dirty'' Dom is reportedly suffering from a real-life rib injury. Styles and Mysterio are expected to lock horns for the gold at SummerSlam, scheduled for August 2 and 3.

Triple H recently sat with WWE analyst Sam Roberts to open some new Topps trading cards, called Breaker's Delight Pack. The Game uploaded the video on his Instagram handle, during which he unpacked rare cards of several stars, including Scarlett, Liv Morgan, Ethan Page, Becky Lynch, Hulk Hogan, and Dominik Mysterio.

After packing Mysterio's card, The King of Kings revealed ''Dirty'' Dom's new name, "King of the Luchadores." The company filed a trademark for this name last month, and many believed it was for El Grande Americano, but it seems like the new moniker is for Dominik.

"And then, I've got a 103 out of 125, 'Dirty' 'Nasty' Dominik Mysterio. [Roberts- Greatest Mysterio to ever wrestle.] That's what he says. King of the Luchadores, I believe,'' he said. ''Absolutely, he is," Roberts added.
