Summary

Dominik Mysterio says he chose to keep wrestling after suffering a shoulder injury during a AAA match in December 2025.

The injury happened while Mysterio teamed with El Grande Americano against Rey Fenix and Rey Mysterio. He later missed two months of action, but said his immediate reaction in the moment was to push through rather than stop the bout.

Mysterio is now the reigning AAA Mega Champion, and he heads into WrestleMania 42 with another major match on deck. His name has stayed prominent across WWE programming as well, including Liv Morgan saying she and Dominik Mysterio are WWE's greatest couple.

Quote from Dominik Mysterio

Asked about his mindset before going into the arena, Mysterio said:

"There’s a lot of emotions that are constantly going through my head. I feel like the main one is just trying to stay composed, because there’s so much going on. We’re always live, and you’ve got to be on your A game. It’s a live show where anything can happen. You know, it happened to me a couple of months ago. I hurt my shoulder at a AAA show. They asked me if I wanted to stop, and I was like, 'Man, just keep going.' If we stop right then and there, that ruins everything. That ruins the match, probably adds more time to wrestlers that were going out after us, and you don’t want to put that on them."

Dominik Mysterio and WrestleMania 42

Dominik Mysterio is set to face "The Demon" Finn Balor at WrestleMania 42, so the shoulder issue stands out as part of the bigger picture around his durability heading into one of WWE's biggest matches of the year.

The AAA Mega Champion carrying that kind of schedule also underlines how much ring time Mysterio has taken on across promotions. If he is healthy enough to move straight into WrestleMania season, the injury looks more like a test he worked through than a setback that changed his position.
