Dominik Mysterio might be off the injured list soon, but his sense of humour — and his love for chicken tenders — hasn’t taken a break. While he hasn’t defended his WWE Intercontinental Championship since winning it back at Survivor Series, a small hidden detail on his title belt has given fans a fun look into his personality.
Dominik Mysterio’s Chicken Nugget Love Shows Up on His Title Belt
Dominik Mysterio has quietly added a personal touch to his Intercontinental Championship. In a recent Instagram reel posted by AAA, eagle-eyed fans noticed a small but hilarious sticker on the back of the belt: “I ❤️ Chicky Nuggies,” with heart shapes styled like two chicken nuggets.
It’s a blink-and-miss detail, but it confirms one thing — Dominik doesn’t plan on giving up the belt any time soon.
This isn’t just a joke. Dominik’s obsession with chicken tenders is real and well-documented.
Not Just a Gimmick: Dirty Dom Really Loves Chicken
On an episode of INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, Dominik opened up about his deep, genuine love for chicken tenders.
“No, it’s not [a gimmick]. I love chicken tenders,” he said.
“One time, it was every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner — almost a week straight. I just wanted to try them from different places. I didn’t get sick of them. I just had something else the next day.”
Dominik even joked about eating tenders before going to an event, then eating more after, just because he didn’t know he’d get some there too.
So, the sticker isn’t just a funny touch — it’s very on-brand for Dirty Dom.
Injury Update: Dominik’s Return Is Imminent
Dominik Mysterio has been out of action since December 20, after getting injured during an AAA event. While he’s continued to appear on WWE and AAA programming, he hasn’t wrestled since regaining the Intercontinental Title on November 29.
However, that could change soon.
According to a report from Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, WWE is hopeful that Dominik will be cleared to return to in-ring action shortly. With WrestleMania 42 fast approaching, his return couldn’t come at a better time.
Dominik already appeared last week on WWE Raw, introducing Liv Morgan to the crowd after her Royal Rumble win. His on-screen involvement hints that his full-time return is just around the corner.
What’s Next for the Intercontinental Champion?
With WrestleMania season heating up, questions are flying:
- Will Dominik defend his title at Elimination Chamber?
- Who will step up to challenge him when he’s cleared?
- Can he continue his title reign all the way to WrestleMania?
Dirty Dom seems confident — and the cheeky sticker on his title might be his way of saying: I’m not going anywhere.
Whether he’s trolling his haters or just expressing his foodie side, Dominik Mysterio has found a way to stay relevant even while recovering. One thing is clear — the WWE Universe can expect his return very soon.
