In a shocking and decisive turn of events, Dominik Mysterio, who has started to go by the monicker "Dirty Dom", bested a proven champion in Wes Lee to snatch the NXT North American Championship in last night's WWE NXT event.
Fans are still reeling, with "Dirty Dom" and "Dom Dom" trending on social media platforms as the debate over Mysterio and his most victory heats up.
Rhea Ripley, Mysterio's accomplice and confidante, proudly declared that Mysterio had outdone his famed father and promised that his first-ever singles title was just the start of a meteoric rise. Mysterio himself hinted at a switch to the "NXT" brand, adding fuel to an already raging fire of anticipation.
Despite entering the ring as arguably the most-hated heel in the WWE - his constant run-ins with the audience have earned him a reputation - Mysterio's victory has opened a new chapter for him, the Judgement Day, and WWE NXT. Regardless of his popularity or the lack thereof, it's undeniable that Mysterio, the smarmy, nepotistic, and ungrateful prodigy, brings an air of raw excitement and controversy to the ring.
The chaotic, grueling match against Wes Lee was a testament to Mysterio and his ruthless approach. The former champion Lee, who held the title for an impressive 269 days after a hard-fought victory at Halloween Havoc, met his match in Mysterio's calculated brutality and the underhanded interventions of the rest of his newfound family.
