WWE officially threatened to strip a champion for non-defense of a title.
Dominik Mysterio has been the Intercontinental Champion since WrestleMania 41 after beating Finn Balor, Bron Breakker, and Penta in a Fatal Four-Way match. The star, however, has only defended the title a handful of times in the three months he has held the title. He has cited numerous issues in the past, with a rib injury being the latest.
The star has used the injury to try and evade AJ Styles.
