Summary

Finn Balor's WrestleMania 42 match with Dominik Mysterio now has a stipulation.

During the WrestleMania 42 Kickoff Show, Dominik was shown speaking with Raw General Manager Adam Pearce and arguing that the contract he signed was for a standard singles match, not a match against Balor in his Demon persona. Pearce accepted that point, then added a Street Fight stipulation to the bout instead.

That changes one of night two's featured matches from a straight singles contest into a fight with fewer restrictions, raising the stakes for a feud that was already personal heading into the show.

What the stipulation changes for Balor and Dominik

A Street Fight fits the tone of this rivalry, especially with Balor appearing as The Demon and Dominik trying to counter the version of Balor he believes is a different problem entirely. It also gives WWE more room to let the match lean into chaos rather than treat it like a standard grudge match.

The added stipulation also strengthens Dominik's recent framing of the matchup. In an earlier WrestleMania 42 build-up story, Dominik made it clear he viewed The Demon as a bigger threat than Balor's usual presentation. Pearce's decision effectively turned that complaint into an even more dangerous match.
