Browsing: Coin

Dominik Mysterio walked out of AAA Héroes Inmortales 2025 still the AAA Mega Champion—but not without leaving some blood in the ring.

After a hard-fought main event win over Dragon Lee, the champ was struck in the face by a coin thrown from the crowd, a long-standing Mexican tradition used to honor great matches. That tradition left Dom with a busted eyebrow and a whole lot to say.

Fans in Mexico have long thrown coins into the ring to show respect, but Dominik wasnâ€t impressed with the gesture. His eyebrow was visibly split open after the match, and he made sure to call out the fans while cutting a promo backstage.

“What did I tell you? Iâ€m still your Mega Champion. And yeah, I know itâ€s a Mexican fan tradition to throw coins, but look, you idiots — Iâ€m not like you. I donâ€t need your money. If youâ€re going to throw something, make it bills. Because the King of Wrestlers has just arrived. See you on November 22, dogs.â€

Despite having his hidden weapon removed mid-match, Dominik still managed to cheat his way to victory, using his boot to strike Dragon Lee while the referee was distracted. The crowd may have shown their appreciation the traditional way, but Mysterio made it clear he doesnâ€t want their coins—or their respect.

Now with a fresh target on his head and real heat from the fans, Dominik Mysterio will team with El Grande Americano to take on Dragon Lee and El Hijo del Vikingo in a tag match on November 22 in Mexico City.

Was Dominik out of line for disrespecting a cultural tradition, or was he just being true to his heel persona? Drop your take in the comments below.
