Dominik Mysterio made history at WrestleMania 41 by winning the Intercontinental Championship on Night Two. In the dramatic match, Dominik defeated Bron Breakker, who was defending his title for the second time, along with his Judgment Day ally, Finn Balor, and Penta.
With this victory, Dominik has officially claimed his place among WWE’s elite because he becomes the third Superstar to win the Intercontinental Championship after his father, Rey Mysterio.
While most fans were focused on the big main event between John Cena and Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41, the fatal-four-way match quietly stole the spotlight. Surprisingly, Dominik Mysterio, often seen as the weakest link in the match, walked out as the champion.
The action started with Dirty Dom running from Bron Breakker. That gave Penta a chance to leap onto everyone in a wild, high-flying move. But Bron didn’t waste time—he slammed both Penta and Finn Balor with a double German suplex.
