Dominik Mysterio recently stunned the WWE Universe when he ended Wes Lee’s incredible NXT North American Championship reign on July 18, 2023. This marked Dom’s first singles title win in WWE.
The young Mysterio has delivered shockers in the past as well. The RAW superstar has a number of upsets under his belt. With that in mind, let’s recall the times the World’s Most Dangerous caught his opponents and fans off guard with shocking wins.
Fans have been clamouring for a match between Buddy Murphy and Dominik given the latter’s association with Rhea Ripley. However, a match between the two stars took place in September, 2020 where Dom picked his first singles WWE win in an Australian in a Street Fight.
Dominik Mysterio briefly feuded with Baron Corbin in 2021. After suffering back-to-back losses to Corbin, Dominik eliminated him during the 2021 Men’s Royal Rumble match. He also managed to pick up the win over Corbin on an edition of SmackDown in 2021.
Before he went to prison, Dominik Mysterio had a loving relationship with his father Rey Mysterio. They teamed up on multiple occasions and defeated The Dirty Dawgs (Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode) at WrestleMania Backlash 2021 to become the only father-son duo to hold tag team gold in WWE.
The stunning loss at WrestleMania Backlash didn’t stop Ziggler and Roode from chasing the father-son duo. The two even tried to take out Dominik in a two-on-one handicap match for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, but the young star managed to grab the win on May 28, 2021.
Dominik Mysterio skipped NXT for the main roster, but he did make a one-off appearance for the brand in 2022. The young star triumphed in his NXT debut by defeating Raul Mendoza of Legado Del Fantasma on March 15, 2023.
After aligning with The Judgment Day at Clash at the Castle, Dominik Mysterio found himself at odds with AJ Styles. The two met on the October 17, 2022, episode of Monday Night RAW. Dom pulled off a huge upset by beating the Phenomenal One in their first singles match on television.
