NXT North American Champion Dominik Mysterio is set to face Dragon Lee in one-on-one action next week on Monday Night Raw. Lee has had his eyes set on the North American title for a while now. He finally seems to be getting a shot at the prestigious gold.
This will mark Dominik’s fourth title defense for the championship and his second on the main roster. On the other hand, this will be Dragon Lee’s second opportunity at the NXT North American Championship. This also implies that Lee will officially make his main roster debut next week on Monday Night Raw.
This will also mark a rare event where a debuting star from NXT will face off for a title in their very first match on the main roster. In their previous encounter on the August 8, 2023, episode of NXT, both Dominik Mysterio and Dragon Lee had a grueling match. Moreover, Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley was in the champion’s corner.
On the other hand, Dominik’s own father and WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio was present to support Dragon Lee. After a short yet compelling matchup between the two high-flyers, it was the Modern Day Latino Heat that came out on top. However, he grabbed the victory with a little but impactful assist from Rhea Ripley.
Next week on Monday Night Raw, fans will once again get to witness the much-anticipated rematch between both superstars. Moreover, the NXT North American title will be on the line. It will be interesting to see whether Dragon Lee manages to get his vengeance over Dirty Dom.
Dominik Mysterio’s amazing character development
Dominik Mysterio made his on-screen debut back in 2005, when he was just 8 years old. Just two decades later, he made his in-ring debut in 2019 and was immediately linked up with his father, Rey Mysterio. He went on to win the Tag Team Titles with his father. However, fans started to turn on the 26-year-old due to his stagnant character development.
The Latino Heat was just living under his father’s shadow, which fans believe has hindered him. In September 2022, Dominik Mysterio shocked the WWE Universe by turning heel and recklessly attacking Edge and Rey Mysterio. He later joined The Judgment Day, which proved to be one of the best decisions of his career.

Since then, Dominik’s WWE career has risen over the horizon and he has had an unfathomable character development. His heel persona has been quite appreciated by the WWE Universe. Although the 26-year-old receives defeaning boos, he surely receives reactions from fans that symbolize his success.
There isn’t a single arena where he doesn’t get heat from the audience. It proves that he has been doing an incredible job in his heel persona. Dominik Mysterio’s unparalleled rise as a character in this industry has been the epitome of success. He has surely made his mark in the Stamford-based promotion.
