Dominik Mysterio isn’t afraid of pulling out all the stops to win and retain his title. At Saturday Night’s Main Event, he proved that there are no ends to his lying, cheating, and stealing.
WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event went down at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. Dominik Mysterio didn’t see a triple threat match coming for his IC Title, but that is what was on the card.
At WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, Dominik Mysterio defended the WWE Intercontinental Championship in a triple threat match against Rusev and Penta.
This match went on third of the night, right after Jade Cargill won the WWE Women’s Title from Tiffany Stratton. Fans were ready for the triple threat match, and Dominik Mysterio was up to his old tricks.
Penta and Rusev both showed up in Salt Lake City, sick and tired of Dominik Mysterio as IC Champion. That being said, they each wanted to take the title home with them after Saturday Night’s Main Event, so any teamwork between the two was understandably limited.
Rusev beat Dominik around the ring for a bit, but then Penta nailed a dive on him. To that, Mysterio hit his own suicide dive on the masked luchador. This match continued with Rusev beating Dom a bit more, and Rusev even took a chance to kiss the IC Title and say, “I’m coming for you.”
Dom was caught doing a 6-1-9 by Rusev, and he locked in the Accolade. Then Penta broke that up with a kick to the back of Rusev’s head. Penta and Rusev kept going for a bit after that, as Dom took a nap on the outside.
Dom came back in, handed Rusev the chair and then faked an injury, so the referee would DQ him. That is when the referee told him that there is no DQ, so Rusev used the chair on Dom. Penta got involved and rallied for a very close near fall from Rusev after he took Dom out with a Mexican Destroyer.
Penta ducked under a Machka kick and hit hit pumphandle slam for a near fall of his own. Penta went for a top rope move, but Rusev nailed him with a Machka kick and an Accolade. The bell started to ring, and then Rusev let go, but it was reveal that Dom had the hammer in his hand. Rusev went after Dom in the timekeeper’s area, but Mysterio turned things around and sent Rusev into the ring steps.
Penta got his hands on the bell hammer, and then he hit Rusev with it. Dom threw Penta out of the ring and hit his frog splash for the win to retain his title once again.
This is a very interesting title picture to watch. After all, WWE has reportedly considered one more title run for John Cena with that championship. It may result in a title run that stretches all the way to his last match in a WWE ring.
