Dominik Mysterio has tried hard to hang onto his WWE IC Title, but he will have quite a challenge on Saturday night.
WWE RAW on October 27, 2025 went down at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. This episode included a lot of great moments, including Dominik Mysterio learning who he will face next for one of his treasured titles.
The No. 1 Contender’s Match for the Intercontinental Title featured Rusev vs. Penta. Dominik Mysterio remained the champion, drawing plenty of challengers. Rusev and Penta both gave everything in the ring to earn the next title shot at Saturday Night’s Main event against Dirty Dom.
This match kicked off the show, right after Jey Uso and CM Punk had a promo battle. Fans were very much behind Penta the entire time, but the Bulgarian Brute wasn’t going to lay down without a fight. Dominik Mysterio wasn’t happy about this match, and he tried to complain to his Judgment Day brothers backstage, but they weren’t very sympathetic since they lost their tag team titles last week to AJ Styles and Dragon Lee in a match that Dom caused.
Rusev and Penta fought through a commercial break, and by the time we got back, Penta was a ragdoll in Rusev’s arms. The Bulgarian was also trying to undo Penta’s legendary mask. Penta was able to fight back and keep himself from getting unmasked. Through it all, Penta was able to come back after a Machka Kick.
Rusev was also able to kick out of a Pentadriver, which brought fans to their feet. Suddenly, the two members of El Grande Americanos jumped both of them in the middle of the ring. El Grande Americano himself stood and watched it all go down. This ended a thrilling #1 contender match that turned into a mugging as Penta and Rusev were dismantled by the interference. The term “mugging” was also used on commentary.
Then Rusev got back in the ring, and he took everyone out, all three members of the stable took a shot as Penta got in the ring to hit El Grande Americano. The match was called off, leaving many to wonder what the booking situation will look like at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Dominik Mysterio is also AAA Mega Champion. Only time will tell how long he remains a double champion, but this is certainly an interesting time to be Rey Mysterio’s son. Saturday Night’s Main Event will go down this weekend, on November 1 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
