The Judgment Day competed in a Fatal 4-Way match for the Intercontinental Championship on The Grandest Stage of Them All.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview on <em>Busted Open Radio<\/em> today, Dirty Dom shared that he was initially just supposed to celebrate on the entrance ramp after winning the Intercontinental Championship at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/go\/wrestlemania\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">WWE WrestleMania 41<\/a>. However, he disclosed that he got word after capturing his first title on the main roster that the promotion wanted him to go back to the ring to celebrate some more.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;So, originally, it was, you know, I win the title. Do your quick celebration, and get out. I&#8217;m focused on this. But as soon as, like I said, I don&#8217;t think anyone was expecting that reaction. As soon as we heard that reaction, and I started moving up the ramp, I got word to just wait it out, wait for the replays, and run back into the ring, and that is exactly what I did. And it was definitely not my call, but I&#8217;m glad I was able to go back in there and experience that, for sure,&#8221; said Dominik Mysterio [From 2:13 &#8211; 2:46]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\/embed\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\">                    <noscript><iframe title=\"NEW Intercontinental Champion Dom Mysterio Recaps BIG Win at WrestleMania 41 | Busted Open WWE\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JlQkiNTrzoI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>                    <\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube\" data-embed=\"JlQkiNTrzoI\">\n<div class=\"play-button\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" height=\"370\" width=\"660\" data-img=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/JlQkiNTrzoI\/sddefault.jpg\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/JlQkiNTrzoI\/sddefault.jpg\" class=\"lazy-img\" alt=\"youtube-cover\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Dominik Mysterio successfully defended the Intercontinental Championship last week on WWE RAW.

You didn&#8217;t need to put the belt on Dominik. Now, Dominik is going to be in a feud with Finn Balor, and the belt is involved in that. Bro, the feud with Finn Balor is enough. They should have kept the belt on Bron Breakker to establish Bron. It&#8217;s on Dominik, and now, he&#8217;s gonna be in a feud with Finn, they don&#8217;t need the title there, bro. The title should have stayed with Bron Breakker.&#8221; [From 27:38 onwards]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>You can check out the video below:<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\/embed\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\">                    <noscript><iframe title=\"WrestleMania 41 Night 2 Review and Results with Vince Russo &amp; Dr. Chris Featherstone!\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ImF9pWYm8rE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>                    <\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube\" data-embed=\"ImF9pWYm8rE\">\n<div class=\"play-button\"><img height=\"370\" width=\"660\" data-img=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/ImF9pWYm8rE\/sddefault.jpg\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/ImF9pWYm8rE\/sddefault.jpg\" class=\"lazy-img\" alt=\"youtube-cover\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Dominik Mysterio is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\/news-dominik-mysterio-wins-major-title-recent-wwe-show-becomes-two-time-champion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">former NXT North American Champion<\/a> but had never captured a singles title on WWE&#8217;s main roster before winning the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 41.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>If you use the quote from the first half of this article, please credit Sportskeeda Wrestling for the transcription. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/1247965-1692641757-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Robert Lentini&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nRobert Lentini started writing for Sportskeeda in 2022.
