Dominik Mysterio Pulled from WWE Live Event Amid Injury Concern

Dominik Mysterio was officially removed from WWE’s December 26 live event in Baltimore, fueling concern that his recent in-ring injury might be more serious than fans hoped.

The Judgment Day member was originally scheduled to team with Liv Morgan in a mixed tag match against Rey Mysterio and Rhea Ripley. But when showtime arrived, that match was nowhere on the card. Instead, Rey Mysterio kicked off the event in a singles match against Grayson Waller—with Dominik completely absent.

One fan took to Twitter and confirmed the change, making it clear that the match getting scrapped lends credence to the reports that Dominik was injured last week.

“Hate to break it to everyone but it looks like the match was scrapped. It’s Rey vs Grayson Waller opening up the show. Lends credence to the rumor that Dom was injured in AAA :(”

This aligns with what was reported last week. According to Bryan Alvarez, the shoulder injury happened during the final moments of Dominik’s tag match at AAA’s Guerra de Titanes event on December 20, where he teamed with El Grande Americano against Rey Mysterio and Rey Fenix.

“Dom injured his shoulder taking the DDT from his dad near the end of tonight’s main event,” Alvarez reported. “Based on how he landed, my presumption is it’s likely a shoulder separation… He could barely use the arm at all.”

The finish of the AAA match saw Penta interfere, using a foreign object hidden in his mask to headbutt Dominik, which set up Rey for a 619 and the pin. After the match, Dominik shoved his partner El Grande Americano and walked to the back on his own—visibly clutching his shoulder.

WWE hasn’t officially commented, but pulling him from a live event just days later is a loud message. If the injury is as serious as it looks, Dominik could be facing time off—or even surgery. For now, “Dirty Dom” is off the card, and the WWE Universe is left wondering when they’ll see him again.
