A big Intercontinental Championship match is set for WWE Backlash, and it’s already making noise. Triple H himself has confirmed it on social media, calling it a clash of lucha libre legacies.
Dominik Mysterio’s Huge Win at WrestleMania
At WrestleMania, Dominik Mysterio shocked everyone. He faced Penta, Bron Breakker, and even his own teammate Finn Balor in a hard-fought match. Against all odds, Dominik came out as the winner and became the new Intercontinental Champion. It was a proud moment for him, especially since he pinned Balor, showing he’s more than just a tag partner.
Triple H Talks About the Backlash Match
Triple H shared his thoughts about the upcoming match on X (formerly Twitter). He pointed out that this is more than just a title match. It’s about two lucha libre legacies. One from the Guerrero-Mysterio family, and the other from Penta’s legendary background in Mexican wrestling.
He posted:
“Two legacies of lucha libre go toe-to-toe this Saturday.”
#WWEBacklash
This message hyped up fans even more, especially those who love the lucha style.

Dominik’s First Title Defense on a Big Stage
This will be Dominik’s first Premium Live Event title defense since winning the Intercontinental Championship. Many fans are curious to see if he can keep up the momentum or if it was just beginner’s luck.
Penta is not an easy opponent. He’s powerful, experienced, and unpredictable in the ring. He has competed all over the world and has a huge fan base. This makes him one of Dominik’s biggest tests yet.
Why This Match Feels Special
This isn’t just about gold it’s about pride. Both Dominik and Penta represent two sides of Mexican wrestling history. Dominik wants to prove he’s no longer in his father’s shadow. Penta wants to prove he belongs on WWE’s biggest stage. That’s what makes this showdown extra exciting.
Plus, with Triple H backing the match, it shows WWE believes in both these stars to deliver something memorable.
