WWE veteran hints at controversial finish for Dominik Mysterio vs. AJ Styles

Former WWE head writer Vince Russo recently spoke about Dominik Mysterio defending the Intercontinental Championship against AJ Styles. The two stars will face off at SummerSlam.

For months, The Phenomenal One has been trying to get his hands on Dominik Mysterio. However, the Judgment Day member has been giving him the slip on the pretext of an injury. However, there will be no escape for the 28-year-old star as he gets set to defend the IC Title at SummerSlam.

On the latest episode of Writing with Russo, the wrestling veteran noted there was no way WWE would take the title off Mysterio at SummerSlam. Russo claimed there could be outside interference from Judgment Day members to help Dominik retain the gold.

"Absolutely not. There's no way they're gonna take the belt off Dom. There's no way they should take the belt off Dom. He's got all kinds of outside interference to help him go over. So, I think this is pretty clear."

The veteran writer detailed that WWE just wanted a good match from the two men. He noted that a win here could give "Dirty" Dom a huge win over an in-ring veteran.

"This is a good match, this is awesome and they think it gives Dom a big win over a veteran," Russo said. [From 2:47 onwards]

Fans will have to wait and see who walks out as the Intercontinental Champion when Dominik Mysterio and AJ Styles finally collide at SummerSlam.
