We see NXT North American Champion Dominik Mysterio and WWE Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley walking backstage. Back to commercial.

We go back to the ring and out comes NXT North American Champion Dominik Mysterio and WWE Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley to boos. Ripley announces that Dominik is still your champion.

Ripley says Dominik proved he’s more of a man than Wes Lee and Mustafa Ali, and all of you here. Dominik says that makes him the greatest luchador ever. The music interrupts and out comes Dragon Lee to a pop.

Dragon says he won’t let Dominik disrespect the NXT Universe or his heritage any longer. Ripley says look, it’s Rey Mysterio Junior Jr. Dragon says he doesn’t like Ripley. Dragon says no one, including Dominik, believes this “greatest luchador” stuff because Rey is the greatest luchador of all-time. Dominik goes on about how he made the Mysterio name relevant. Ripley and Dragon disagree about how big Dominik’s balls are. Dragon challenges Dominik to prove he’s the best by defending the title next week.

Dominik says he’s a fighting champion so he will see Dragon next week. Ripley says she will be in Dominik’s corner. Dominik says Mami is all he needs. Ripley says wherever her Latino Heat goes, she goes. Dragon says he won’t be coming alone either… 2023 WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio appears on the big screen to a pop. Rey says he’s proud to be coming to NXT next week to be in the corner of someone who truly deserves it, the future of lucha libre. Rey says he will have the best seat in the house and can’t wait to see Dominik lose the title. The music starts back up to end the segment as fans boo Dominik and Ripley.
