Massive Dominik Mysterio shock on WWE SmackDown following controversial finish

Dominik Mysterio picked up a huge victory tonight on WWE SmackDown. The RAW star competed in the main event of tonight’s edition of the blue brand.

Damian Priest, Bron Breakker, Dominik Mysterio, and United States Champion Trick Williams battled in a Fatal 4-Way match in the King of the Ring tournament in the main event of this week’s episode of WWE SmackDown.

Breakker and Williams had a stare-down backstage before the match. Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan was also ringside for the bout to show her support for her Judgment Day stablemate, Dominik Mysterio.

Priest and Mysterio briefly put their issues aside to beat down Bron Breakker. Priest then unloaded several spin kicks to Williams and Breakker as the crowd cheered him on. Breakker battled back and hit Priest with a Frankensteiner off the top rope, but Mysterio broke up the cover.

Breakker and Williams then worked together to deliver a Superplex to Priest in the middle of the ring. Priest battled back and hit Mysterio with a Razor’s Edge, but Liv Morgan distracted the referee.

The action spilled out of the ring, and Breakker hit Williams with a Clothesline that sent both stars tumbling over the announce table. JD McDonagh interfered in the match, and Priest planted him with South of Heaven. Liv Morgan then hit Priest with a low blow, and Dirty Dom capitalized with a Frog Splash for the pinfall victory to advance in the King of the Ring tournament.

As a result of the victory, Dominik Mysterio will be facing Oba Femi in the semifinals of the King of the Ring tournament. Mysterio suggested that Femi “count his days” as WWE SmackDown went off the air.

Retired WWE star comments on loss to Dominik Mysterio

AJ Styles recently shared his thoughts on losing to Dominik Mysterio last year on WWE RAW.

Speaking on his Phenomenally Retro podcast, Styles discussed losing to Mysterio on the September 1, 2025, episode of WWE RAW during their Intercontinental Championship feud. The veteran noted that he was a team player, and the loss eventually led to John Cena capturing the title.

“Do I wish I could have won in France? I believe the roof may have been blown off the place. But that wasn’t what we needed at the time. So, I’m a team player and whatever we need, I’m gonna do. And here’s the thing, I don’t believe John gets to be the Intercontinental Champion if I beat Dominik. Although, if I did beat Dominik and then John beats me, but the timing wasn’t right.”

Only time will tell if Mysterio can defeat Oba Femi to advance in the King of the Ring tournament.
