On Monday Night RAW, general manager Adam Pearce informed AJ Styles that Intercontinental Champion “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio was injured and their match for the title at Night of Champions was officially canceled.
This news is particularly surprising since Mysterio hasn’t wrestled in a match since the June 9 episode of Raw and has been featured on television since then.
It remains to be seen if this is a legitimate injury or is simply a kayfabe reason for Mysterio to miss the event.
Mysterio won the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania, defeating Penta, Finn Balor, and previous champion Bron Breakker.
Mysterio has since defended the title three times: twice against Penta and once against Octagon Jr. at Money in the Bank.
