00:00Contest is single for one fall, and it is for the Intercontinental Championship!
00:09Introducing first, representing the Judgment Day, from San Diego, California, weighing in at 200 pounds,
00:18he is the Mega AAA and the Intercontinental Champion, Dirty Dominique Mysterio!
00:30And with that statistical information, we can add he's the first WWE Superstar to hold a WWE and AAA title at the same time.
00:41Dom defends the IC against Rusev next, Raw on Netflix.
01:00Dirty Dom Mysterio, going up against Rusev, of course, we recently saw that back at the end of September.
01:12We also saw exactly how it ended with a little blow when the ref wasn't looking.
01:17This will be the 12th time that this championship, the Intercontinental Championship, has been on the line here in 2025.
01:27Look, whenever you, as a champion in WWE, have to defend your goal, there's always a level of apprehension.
01:35With Dirty Dom, he seems utterly terrified of Rusev.
01:39And this ain't here for a lot of, that will count it for you!
01:44Yeah!
01:45Yeah!
01:46Yeah!
01:47Yeah!
01:48Yeah!
01:49Yeah!
01:50Yeah!
01:51Yeah!
01:52Yeah!
01:53Yeah!
01:54Yeah!
01:55Yeah!
01:56Yeah!
01:57Yeah!
01:58Yeah!
01:59Yeah!
02:00Yeah!
02:01Yeah!
02:02Yeah!
02:03Yeah!
02:04Yeah!
02:05Yeah!
02:06Yeah!
02:07Yeah!
02:08Yeah!
02:09Yeah!
02:10Yeah!
02:11Yeah!
02:12Yeah!
02:13Yeah!
02:14Yeah!
02:15Yeah!
02:16Yeah!
02:17Yeah!
02:18Yeah!
02:19Yeah!
02:20Yeah!
02:21Yeah!
02:22Yeah!
02:23My name is Dirty Dominic Mysterio, and I am your mega intercontinental champion.
02:53And this feels different, I'm not going to lie, but at the end of the day, Dirty Dom's
03:22got to do what he's got to do to stay your double champion.
03:27So the toolkit for walks was the easy part for Dirty Dom, things get a lot more tough from
03:37here.
03:38Speaking of San Diego, Dirty Dom, of course, from there, and now looking to defend against
03:44this man.
03:45I can't even imagine how badly Rusev wants to get his hands on Dirty Dom.
03:49Been six years since he's held a championship in WWE, and we know why he wants him so badly.
03:54Three weeks ago, defending the IC title against Rusev, once again, major chicanery from the
04:01champ.
04:02Eddie Guerrero, you are not, Dom, caught red-handed by the referee, but then using the referee
04:09to his advantage, a low blow.
04:11And once again, dirty Dom, by the skin of his teeth escapes with the goal.
04:18Now, add that to last week's underhanded defeat of Penta using the ring bell hammer.
04:25And clearly, Dom has the deepest bag of tricks in the game at his disposal.
04:31You know, the euphemisms that you keep on descriptive for Dirty Dom, bag of tricks, underhanded.
04:53How do you, oh, we're not wasting any time here.
04:56Well, there's a bag of tricks is already opening.
04:59Oh, man!
05:00Jump start on Rusev before the bell even rings, and the referee desperately trying to get control.
05:06What a smart move once again by Dirty Dom.
05:09Wait, can you believe how much the steel steps move by the impact of the big man Rusev?
05:15I absolutely can.
05:16I used to tag team with Rusev passing by League of Nations days, and there's a good reason why
05:22I sit here and don't get in the ring with people like Rusev anymore.
05:26And Rusev now, the intensity, it is boiled over as he delivers that uppercut to Dirty Dom Mysterio.
05:34He's had the title for 182 days. This is eighth defense.
05:38And this is where, if you're Dirty Dom Mysterio, you feel like you've already played the ace.
05:43You did the hot start, you threw the challenger into the steps before the bell rings.
05:48Should be easy from here.
05:50When that challenger immediately bounces back like the brute of a human being he is.
05:56Suddenly you think, it ain't my night.
05:58Look at the way he stalks his prey at moments like this, too.
06:02And then driving that boot right across the neck.
06:06The booty tattooed his neck, might we add.
06:10I mean, I think it was Confucius who said that, how do you improve perfection?
06:14You add a neck tattoo.
06:16And that is why the women of planet Earth, especially the housewives, just cannot take their eyes off Dirty Dom Mysterio.
06:24You've pulled women out there who believe that Dom is better looking with the giant neck tattoo covering his Adam's apple.
06:32I mean, I've always thought that the Mona Lisa had something missing, had a little neck tattoo, and I'm sure Dom knows an artist who can do that quite easily if the Louvre want to give us a little call.
06:42It's my title!
06:44Small fee involved, of course.
06:45Now they got their own problems right now.
06:46Yep, come on!
06:47Still even there?
06:48Balbo driving down from Rusev.
06:50He is in complete control early on here.
06:53Intercontinental Championship match.
06:55It's Sacramento and the big kick just driving Dom back as he reaches for his sternum and that neck again.
07:02We're talking about the tricks of Dirty Dom Mysterio.
07:05Rusev is just a guy who doesn't need tricks.
07:08He just goes straight line, smash mouth, shortest distance to your goals.
07:13And the shortest distance to the goal right now is caving in the face of Dirty Dom Mysterio.
07:19Oh, Dom able to get that big boot up and now he climbs up top on his own.
07:25Now wobbling Rusev.
07:27Challenger suddenly looking rocked in.
07:29Yep, it's gonna take a bit of an attack to wobble Rusev as he's trying to get the best of him right now against the big man.
07:36Oh, but the cross body is caught.
07:38Dom out the back door and the drop kick lines him up.
07:47But instead of the 619, it's Dom who collapses under the power of Rusev.
07:53Club to the top of the head, it wasn't even a clothesline.
07:55I don't know what Rusev was aiming at, but it was highly effective.
07:59But now a flurry of suplexes completely flattening the champ.
08:04And the ball away as well.
08:06It sends him all the way across the ring and out onto the floor.
08:11The power of Rusev looking for the IC title.
08:14Back on September 29th, Dirty Dom and Rusev met for the Intercontinental Championship.
08:31It was the low blow that decided things when the rep wasn't looking.
08:36And now Rusev is seeking revenge.
08:40And I'll tell you right now, I knew Rusev pretty well back in my former life.
08:44Although I stay well clear even these days.
08:46Rusev...
08:47Oh, as the actions get too close for comfort here, Joe Test.
08:50Keep your eyes open.
08:51Rusev's brain...
08:53Oh!
08:54Simply not compute that he was beaten by Dirty Dom Mysterio.
08:59Regardless of how it went down, once Rusev got that opportunity three weeks ago,
09:04it was as good as guaranteed that he was gonna be the new...
09:09Let me show you, Dom-Dom.
09:11This is not Intercontinental Champion.
09:14I am!
09:16He is just ragdolling Dirty Dom on the outside.
09:21I mean, there's never been anything other than a frown on the face of Rusev for the past six weeks or so.
09:28Ever since he got Dom in his crosshairs.
09:30And he's not lifting whatsoever.
09:33Certainly won't unless Rusev grabs gold here.
09:38Now Rusev is just playing along as the crowd sings along and he drives knee after knee into his back.
09:48It's been a surprisingly pro Dirty Dom crowd at times.
09:52I think they can't decide if they love him or loathe him.
09:54But they are seemingly unified in that they loathe Rusev.
10:01Who do you hate more?
10:02I think that's the computations going through the mind of this audience currently.
10:09Tom trying to elbow his way out.
10:12And now all of a sudden looking to turn things against Rusev.
10:15But does he have enough strength?
10:17Just gets out of the way as Rusev was looking to plant all his body weight down onto Dom.
10:23And into the cover immediately which didn't even barely get a one count.
10:28Yeah, and once again the hopes inside Dirty Dom Mysterio of winning this match fade with every shot of offense that just bounces off Rusev.
10:39How quickly Rusev turns that around just as Dom gets a foothold in the match immediately snatching it away as this big Bulgarian.
10:51He may have hurt his tailbone on that landing a little earlier.
10:56Doesn't seem to be slowing Rusev down just has a little more power in each of those shots targeted at the body of Mysterio.
11:04He's enjoying it isn't he?
11:06Come on!
11:07He'll be enjoying it even more if he grabs gold here Joe.
11:09Come on!
11:10Come on!
11:11Come on!
11:12Come on!
11:13That is what is on the line the Intercontinental Championship.
11:25Rusev hasn't held a title in WWE since 2019.
11:30A few weeks ago he thought he had his golden opportunity only to suffer a low blow from Dirty Dom and Dom was able to defend.
11:38And now Dominic Mysterio is looking to rally back here against the big man.
11:43This is finally a flurry from Dirty Dom that has grounded the big challenger here.
11:50Can Dom sustain it?
11:51So far things just haven't worked in favor of the champion.
11:56This might be a moment.
11:59Locked up as he was trying to get the suplex but instead.
12:03Oh!
12:04Dom with a nice counter.
12:07That shocked Rusev.
12:08Hooking the leg.
12:09Looking to retain.
12:10And the kick out at two.
12:12Just shows how creative and inventive Dirty Dom can be.
12:15Tucking in those legs and turning what looked to be a face plant into a roll through suplex of his own.
12:23Knocking the wind out of the challenger and now Dirty Dom gets the chance to put this one to bed.
12:30Rusev is in the drop zone.
12:33Oh!
12:34Able to get the knees up!
12:35But it may not be the judgment day's night here.
12:39Already dropped their tag goal.
12:41The IC title may be shortly to follow.
12:44And now the power of the big Bulgarian comes through.
12:48Could he be moments away from gold?
12:51Well Dirty Dom just looks like a carcass right now.
12:57Game!
12:58Over!
12:59Game over he says.
13:01And it usually is.
13:02The accolade is going in.
13:04Oh no!
13:05Dirty Dom able to slither his way out!
13:08If that submission hold.
13:11And now he's grabbing both of his titles.
13:15The triple A make up!
13:16Oh!
13:17What a second!
13:18That was Penta!
13:19Right in the midst of it!
13:21Last week's victim of that.
13:23Oh!
13:24Oh Dirty Dom goes over the top there.
13:26Oh jeez I was just about to have a sip.
13:29Well Rusev is just refusing to be denied here.
13:32Crashing Dirty Dom into Penta.
13:35Who prevented Dirty Dom escaping.
13:37You know Penta is still rather angry that he did not win the game.
13:41Oh wait up.
13:42And Penta's coming.
13:43Oh!
13:44Huge right hand just levels Penta.
13:47Meanwhile back in the ring.
13:49Dirty Dom.
13:53Shoving.
13:54He got that hammer in his boot again.
13:56Oh!
13:57Deception once again from Dirty Dom.
13:59He's gonna do the same thing with the six...
14:01No!
14:02Denied!
14:03That's how he got rid of Penta.
14:05But Rusev stops him from doing it.
14:08Well bell hammer in the boot.
14:10Oh there it is!
14:11Rusev lies to it!
14:12The time keeper's hammer.
14:14It didn't work.
14:15Rusev's gonna get disqualified if he's not careful.
14:19Oh the referee's gonna clear the ring of the hammer.
14:21Oh!
14:22Man parts!
14:23Onions fried!
14:246-1-9!
14:27And going up top!
14:31Frog Splash!
14:32Dirty Dom!
14:33Does it again!
14:34Here is your winner and still the Intercontinental Champion, Dirty Dominic Mysterio!
14:52He went for the time keeper's hammer again.
14:58It didn't work.
14:59And yet another low blow.
15:02This one from behind determines it.
15:04What absolute battle.
15:05And this was Dirty Dom deciding to call it a day.
15:09Walk home with the gold.
15:10Penta who got screwed by Dom last week had other ideas unbeknownst to Penta.
15:16He subsequently got flattened by a flying Dirty Dom Mysterio.
15:21And this was the moment Dirty Dom carefully discreetly apparently picked up that bell hammer once again.
15:29Caught by Rusev.
15:30And amidst this distraction as the referee was on the ball.
15:34One low blow later.
15:36The 6-1-9!
15:38A frog splash!
15:39And once again, by the skin of his teeth, Dirty Dominic Mysterio escapes the victory and is still the champ champ!
15:51And Penta got laid out by Rusev and Dirty Dom just smiling smugly as he...
15:57Oh, there's Penta!
16:01Oh, springboard tornado DDT!
16:05A modicum of revenge for Penta who just got dropped with a big right hand from Rusev.
16:16Apparently, Penta still has designs of Dirty Dom's Intercontinental Championship.
16:22As he points his way.
16:26But coming up next, oh, these hometown fans are gonna erupt.
16:30Big Dreaming Maxine Dupree.
16:32Her moment to shine.
16:34Women's Intercontinental Championship match.
16:37Maxine against Becky Lynch here at home in Sacramento for Dupree.
