WWE confirms IC Champion will be out of action
Summary
– Dominik Mysterio has been ruled out indefinitely due to injury
– WWE acknowledged the situation during the December 29 episode of RAW
– Early indications suggest the injury is related to his shoulder
Dominik Mysterio’s momentum has been temporarily halted as WWE confirmed he will be out of action indefinitely. The update was shared during the December 29 episode of WWE RAW, which took place at the Kia Center in Orlando, Florida. The announcement raised immediate concern given Mysterio’s current championship status.
The news surfaced during a backstage segment of Judgment Day. While discussing an upcoming Women’s World Title match, Liv Morgan briefly referenced that Dominik was unavailable. The comment prompted further clarification later in the broadcast.
Play-by-play announcer Joe Tessitore confirmed that Dominik Mysterio is sidelined, noting that details remain limited. WWE did not disclose a specific timetable for his return. Tessitore added that the injury appears to involve Mysterio’s shoulder.
The term “indefinitely” was used to describe his absence, signaling uncertainty regarding recovery time. This development is significant, as Mysterio currently holds both the WWE Intercontinental Championship and the AAA Mega Championship. His dual-title status adds complexity to the situation.
Mysterio had been riding a strong momentum following his Intercontinental Title win over John Cena at Survivor Series WarGames. With the year coming to a close, his absence leaves a noticeable gap in WWE programming. Further updates are expected as more information becomes available.
