Dominik Mysterio Delivers Statement Win at Money in the Bank 2025
Alright, let’s talk about one of the more unexpected yet crucial moments from WWE Money in the Bank 2025 — Dominik Mysterio vs. Octagón Jr. You could feel the tension even before the bell rang. Dominik, ever the heel, kicked things off with some underhanded tactics that reminded everyone exactly who he’s become in the WWE universe. He went right after Octagón Jr., tying the luchador's mask to the ropes — a classic move that screams disrespect, especially in lucha libre culture. And all the while, he’s taunting the AAA talent sitting at ringside, soaking in the heat like a true villain.
Octagón Jr. wasn’t going down without a fight though. The energy was electric for a moment as he countered Mysterio’s first attempt at a 619 and started building some momentum. You could almost believe that this would be one of those surprise upsets where the crowd gets a moment to erupt.

But then — enter Liv Morgan.
Right on cue, she provided the distraction Dominik needed. It was just enough time for him to capitalize, and from there, it was like watching a machine go to work. The 619 connected the second time, and then he soared off the top rope with that signature frog splash. One, two, three. Dominik Mysterio retains the Intercontinental Championship. Just like that.
Now, I won’t lie — this match felt short. Almost like a formality. It didn’t have the wild chaos of the ladder matches or the emotional highs of the Becky vs. Valkyria war. But for Dominik, that might have been the whole point. He needed a statement win — a dominant, clean finish to break the recent lull in his title reign. Ever since WrestleMania, the buzz around his name had cooled off. This wasn’t just about defending the belt. This was about proving he still belongs in the spotlight.
Yeah, it was fast. And yeah, Octagón Jr. barely got to showcase what he could do. But that almost makes the story sharper — Dominik took a rising AAA superstar and shut him down cold, with no room for debate. In a way, that says more about where Dominik is headed than any 20-minute war could have.
It’ll be interesting to see where he goes next. Does this ignite a longer feud with AAA talent? Does Liv keep playing the wildcard? Either way, this was a much-needed injection of momentum for Mysterio — and the start of a new, more dangerous chapter for the Intercontinental Champion.
