Dominik Mysterio confronted by 48-year-old legend backstage on WWE RAW; Adam Pearce makes a surprising decision

Dominik Mysterio would have likely defended the Intercontinental Championship against a 48-year-old legend at Night of Champions, but things changed, and he is still not medically cleared. Adam Pearce made a surprising decision as Mysterio was confronted.

The 48-year-old wrestling legend, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, is in pursuit of the Intercontinental Championship years after first winning it. He's a Grand Slam Champion and is looking to continue to add to his already-stacked resumé.

Backstage on WWE RAW, AJ Styles confronted Dominik Mysterio, who pulled out a doctor's note to let him know he wasn't cleared. Not only this, but Adam Pearce agreed to put out a statement in the note that if Styles touched Dominik, his Intercontinental Title shot would be revoked.

In a hilarious move, Styles had his reading glasses on and verified that what Dominik Mysterio said about the note was, in fact, true. However, it's only going to delay the inevitable, which is a clash for the Intercontinental Championship.

It's going to be interesting to see how things play out. Since becoming the Champion at WrestleMania 41, Dominik has had two title defenses against Penta and one unexpected defense against Octagon Jr. at Money in the Bank 2025.

With three defenses in a little over two months, this is going to be the next big one.
