Dominik Mysterio has offered a light-hearted response to AJ Styles’ on-air slip-up during their backstage segment on this week’s episode of WWE Raw.
The moment came during Monday night’s show when Styles confronted Mysterio in the Judgment Day clubhouse to continue teasing a future clash over the Intercontinental Championship. However, while delivering his promo, Styles hilariously stumbled over the words “Intercontinental Championship,” drawing attention from both fans and fellow wrestlers.

Taking to the social media platform X on Tuesday, Mysterio responded by posting a meme video of a child nervously saying:
“I’ve never been on live television before.”
Poking fun at Styles’ botched line. The post quickly gained traction among wrestling fans, who appreciated Mysterio’s sense of humour and the playful jab at his veteran rival.
Despite the slip-up, Styles remained composed during the segment and continued to build toward what appears to be an eventual challenge for Mysterio’s title.
Dominik Mysterio, meanwhile, is preparing for a high-stakes title defence this weekend. At Backlash, taking place in St. Louis, the reigning Intercontinental Champion is set to defend his gold against Penta.
