Stipulation added after last-minute contract dispute
Summary
– Street Fight stipulation added to Finn Bálor vs Dominik Mysterio
– Change made after Dominik objects to facing The Demon
– Match now part of loaded WrestleMania 42 night two lineup
WWE has officially raised the stakes for one of WrestleMania 42’s featured matches. The showdown between Finn Bálor’s Demon persona and Dominik Mysterio will now take place under Street Fight rules.
The change came during the WrestleMania 42 Kickoff Show when Dominik Mysterio was shown in a backstage conversation with Raw General Manager Adam Pearce. Mysterio argued that he agreed to a standard singles match, not one against The Demon.
Pearce acknowledged the complaint but escalated the situation rather than removing the Demon from the equation. He decided to add a Street Fight stipulation, ensuring the match would have no disqualifications or restrictions.
The ruling adds another layer of intensity to an already heated rivalry. Facing The Demon is viewed as a different challenge entirely, and the added stipulation creates an environment where anything can happen.
The match joins a stacked night two card for WrestleMania 42, which features multiple championship bouts and high-profile clashes. With the stakes now elevated, the encounter between Bálor and Mysterio is expected to be one of the most chaotic fights of the event.
WrestleMania continues to build momentum, and this last-minute decision only adds to the unpredictability heading into night two.
A STREET FIGHT 👊
