Dominik Mysterio Retains NXT North American Championship at Great American Bash
In a surprising turn of events, Dominik Mysterio successfully defended his NXT North American Championship against Wes Lee and Mustafa Ali in a thrilling triple threat match at the Great American Bash. The event took place on Sunday, July 30, 2023, at the Cedar Park Center in Texas.
Mysterio’s victory came just two weeks after he won the title from Lee, adding another chapter to their heated rivalry. Mustafa Ali was originally scheduled to challenge Lee for the championship, but with Mysterio in the mix, the match became a triple threat.
The crowd’s reaction to Mysterio’s win was mixed, with the young champion receiving a chorus of boos from the audience. Despite the negative reception, Mysterio showed resilience and determination throughout the match.
The match started with Ali and Lee focusing their efforts on Mysterio, looking to neutralize the champion early on. However, their personal animosity eventually took over, and they turned their attention to each other.
Mysterio’s ally, Rhea Ripley, who is the Women’s World Champion, also got involved in the action. She delivered a devastating Riptide to Lee, sending him crashing through the announcer’s table.
Not content with her previous interference, Ripley then used her championship belt to attack Lee, hoping to secure a victory for Mysterio. However, Lee showed incredible resilience and kicked out of the pin attempt.
Ali re-entered the fray and hit his signature 450 splash, seemingly setting himself up for the win. But Ripley once again intervened, pulling Ali out of the ring. This allowed Mysterio to capitalize on the chaos and execute a Frog Splash on Lee, securing the three-count and retaining his championship.
The victory solidifies Mysterio’s status as a dominant force in the NXT North American Championship scene. Despite the crowd’s negative reaction, Mysterio proved that he is a formidable champion capable of defending his title against top-level competitors.
