Dominik Mysterio's AEW Belt Blunder Sparks Outrage
19 Jan
Summary
- Dominik Mysterio appeared with an AEW belt in a WWE promotional video.
- Wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer called the incident embarrassing for WWE.
- Mysterio has been sidelined since December 2025 with a shoulder injury.
A promotional video produced by WWE for AAA's debut in Mexico inadvertently caused controversy by featuring Dominik Mysterio with an AEW championship belt. This significant blunder, where an AEW title was mistakenly shown instead of Mysterio's AAA Mega title, quickly drew fan reactions and commentary from industry figures. The incident has been highlighted as an embarrassing oversight for the wrestling giant.
Veteran wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer addressed the situation on Wrestling Observer Radio, describing the visual error as 'embarrassing' for WWE. This occurred while Mysterio has been sidelined. He suffered a shoulder injury in December 2025 during a tag team match at the AAA Guerra de Titanes event, where he teamed with El Grande Americano against his father, Rey Mysterio, and Rey Fenix.
As of January 19, 2026, Dominik Mysterio remains out of action and is still recognized as the WWE Intercontinental and AAA Mega Champion. It remains to be seen if he will publicly address the promotional video's belt mix-up during his recovery period, as he has not competed since the December 2025 event.
