It’s safe to say that Dominik Mysterio has had one of the wildest runs in professional wrestling. As the WWE Intercontinental Champion and holder of AAA’s Mega Championship, the younger Mysterio has already made his mark on two of the biggest promotions in wrestling. But it looks like AI had a little too much fun during AAA’s debut on Fox — and mistakenly crowned Dom the AEW Champion in a promo video.
AI Mistake Turns Dom Mysterio Into AEW Champion
During the AAA debut on Fox this past weekend, a promo video was designed to hype up Dominik Mysterio as one of the rising stars of the promotion. The segment, which was supposed to highlight his recent AAA Mega Championship win, aired an animated sequence where Dom was shown wearing an AEW Title belt.
As you can imagine, this wasn’t a great look for AAA, especially considering Mysterio is one of WWE’s biggest stars at the moment. The error didn’t go unnoticed by fans — particularly the Internet Wrestling Community (IWC), who had a field day with this AI blunder.
Fans were quick to point out the blunder, joking about how Dominik Mysterio might have unintentionally crossed promotions — a mix-up that could only happen in the world of AI-driven hype videos. It’s not the first time AI has gotten wrestling content hilariously wrong, but this mistake certainly raised eyebrows.
Mysterio’s Rise in AAA and WWE
The error aside, Dominik Mysterio’s story is nothing short of impressive. Mysterio made a huge splash in AAA at World’s Collide in Las Vegas, September 2025, where he dethroned El Hijo del Vikingo to win the prestigious AAA Mega Championship. With this victory, Dom cemented his status as one of the top international stars in wrestling, bridging the gap between WWE and AAA — something no one expected, but fans are now embracing.
As if that wasn’t enough, Mysterio’s presence in WWE has been equally impactful. As WWE Intercontinental Champion, he’s been a constant fixture on Raw, creating friction and captivating storylines, especially with his connection to The Judgment Day faction. His feud with John Cena — particularly the dramatic moment where Liv Morgan helped him regain the Intercontinental Title — was a defining moment in 2025.
Mysterio’s Injury and Expected Return
Despite all the success in 2025, Dom’s 2026 hasn’t started as he would have hoped. After suffering a shoulder injury at AAA Guerra De Titanes in December, he’s been sidelined. In a memorable match, Dom and El Grande Americano (forming Los Gringos Locos 2.0) lost to Rey Mysterio (his father) and Rey Fenix.
There were concerns about how long Dom would be out of action, but his fellow Judgment Day member Liv Morgan reassured fans during a recent episode of Raw. Morgan herself made her return after a lengthy shoulder injury layoff at Survivor Series, and she confirmed that Dom would be back in action soon.
A Promising 2026 for Dominik Mysterio
With a banner 2025 that saw him reign as both WWE Intercontinental Champion and AAA Mega Champion, expectations are high for Dominik Mysterio in 2026. His growing influence in both WWE and AAA signals that he could soon be a world champion in one of the major promotions, potentially even in WWE’s old New York territory (WWE’s SmackDown).
As Mysterio continues to build momentum in both companies, fans are eagerly awaiting his return to the ring. Will he defend both his championships in 2026, or will a bigger opportunity — like a World Title run — be waiting for him as the year progresses?
