The Night of Champions card just took a major hit, and WWE fans aren’t thrilled.

During the June 23 episode of WWE RAW, Adam Pearce dropped the news that AJ Styles’ scheduled Intercontinental Title match against Dominik Mysterio at Night of Champions is officially off. Pearce blamed the change on circumstances linked to Liv Morgan’s recent injury, though he stopped short of revealing the full story.

“Your Intercontinental Title match with Dominik Mysterio at Night of Champions… it’s not happening,” Pearce told Styles backstage on RAW.

AJ Styles didn’t take the news well, and it’s safe to say fans share the frustration. WWE’s Night of Champions is still set for June 28 in Saudi Arabia, but now the card is missing a major title bout.

WWE hasn’t provided full details on why Dominik Mysterio was pulled from the match, but the timing raises plenty of questions. With Liv Morgan’s injury affecting Judgment Day’s involvement in current storylines, speculation is swirling about whether Dominik’s absence is related.

Pearce did assure Styles that he hasn’t lost his title opportunity entirely. “You’ll get the next Intercontinental Title match when Dominik can defend it again,” Pearce added.

For now, fans will have to wait and see how WWE adjusts the card with only days left before the premium live event.
