Dominik Mysterio had the biggest night of his career.
In a weekend filled with title changes, perhaps the most surprising -- and significant -- was Dominik Mysterio's Intercontinental Championship win.
The third-generation Mysterio defeated Bron Breakker, Penta, and his fellow Judgement Day-brethren, Finn Balor to win the title. Mysterio actually pinned Balor after a frog splash, securing the win.
Mysterio recently spoke at the WrestleMania 41 post-show, calling himself the GICOAT -- the Greatest Intercontintental Champion Of All Time. He also called himself the greatest Mysterio of all time.
"Do you hear this? I'm used to getting booed. Starting off with the pandemic, with no crowd, and then coming here to have a crowd...honestly I feel like I just need to lose the dead weight, ya know? My deadbeat dad. I feel like I've solidified myself because everyone was saying, 'You'll never be able to fill Rey's shoes. You'll never be bigger than Rey Mysterio. Listen, five eyears later, four years -- I am the greatest Mysterio of all time, the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time," Mysterio said.
Mysterio is a far cry from the little boy whose custody was being fought for twenty years ago.
