In an absolutely electrifying moment that shook the WWE Universe, AJ Styles proved once again why he’s called “The Phenomenal One.” At the WWE Live Event on October 25, 2025, Styles delivered a performance for the ages, defeating Dominik Mysterio to capture the Intercontinental Championship in a match that had the entire arena on its feet!
The night began with high anticipation as fans packed the arena, expecting an intense showdown between the veteran Styles and the young, cunning Dominik, who has been making waves as part of The Judgment Day. But no one could have predicted the rollercoaster of emotions that followed. From the opening bell, the crowd erupted with chants of “A-J Styles!” and “This is awesome!” — and they were right.
Dominik, known for his arrogance and underhanded tactics, tried every trick in the book to keep Styles down. With his quick agility and sneaky moves, Mysterio managed to gain control early in the match, taunting fans as he went. But AJ Styles, a veteran of countless wars in WWE and beyond, refused to be outsmarted. With every punch, kick, and suplex, Styles reminded the world that he’s not just a name — he’s a legacy.
The turning point came when Dominik attempted his father’s signature move, the 619, trying to humiliate Styles. But AJ had it scouted perfectly! Catching Dominik mid-swing, he countered with a thunderous Pele Kick that sent the young star crashing to the mat. The crowd exploded as Styles climbed the ropes and delivered his signature Phenomenal Forearm, connecting perfectly for the three-count!
As the referee’s hand hit the mat for the third time, the arena erupted in celebration. AJ Styles — battered, exhausted, but unbroken — stood tall with the Intercontinental Championship raised high above his head. Pyro filled the air, fans chanted “You deserve it!”, and Styles, ever the humble warrior, smiled and nodded in appreciation.
This victory marks a monumental moment in AJ Styles’ storied career. Having already been a multiple-time WWE Champion, United States Champion, and Tag Team Champion, adding the Intercontinental Title to his resume completes a near-perfect collection of WWE gold. Few superstars in history can claim to have held every major championship across multiple eras — but AJ Styles just did it.
After the match, Styles addressed the fans, saying, “This one’s for every fan who believed in me from day one. I’m still here, still phenomenal, and still on top!” The crowd roared in approval, solidifying this as one of the most memorable nights in WWE Live Event history.
Dominik Mysterio, meanwhile, stormed out of the ring in frustration, refusing to shake Styles’ hand. But one thing is clear — AJ Styles reminded the world why he’s one of the greatest to ever step inside a WWE ring.
The Phenomenal One reigns supreme once again — your NEW Intercontinental Champion, AJ Styles! 🏆🔥
