Dominik Mysterio proposes stipulation match for WWE WrestleMania 42
Dominik Mysterio has an idea for a stipulation match at WrestleMania 42 to regain the Intercontinental Championship.
Ahead of his title defense this weekend at AAA Rey de Reyes, Mysterio spoke with Brad Gilmore on The Collection Podcast about his mindset going into the bout. He also talked about his quest to win back the Intercontinental title at WrestleMania.
Mysterio said:
“So first things first, I gotta retain my AAA Mega Campionato this Saturday at Rey de Reyes, which obviously is not a problem. But I think going into it, I want my IC Championship back. I don’t care what I have to do. I know Penta’s an ugly, ugly dude. So, I’m willing to put my hair up on the line against his mask and that IC Championship if he’s more than willing to. You know, hell, I’ll even put up my mustache, whatever it takes to get my IC title back, because at the end of the day, I beat this dude probably seven or eight times already. He got lucky on this last one because of Finn Balor’s dumba**. But, anyways, I would like to walk in as a double champ or walk out as double champ of WrestleMania.”
Mysterio first won the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 41. In September 2025, he defeated El Hijo del Vikingo to win the AAA Mega Championship.
Mysterio later entered a feud with Penta that lasted for much of 2025 in WWE. Penta defeated Mysterio to win the Intercontinental Championship on the March 2 edition of Raw amid tensions within The Judgment Day.
