Dominik Mysterio just found a way to survive a brutal King of the Ring qualifier as he’s now advanced to the semi-finals.
During the June 5 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Dominik defeated Trick Williams, Damian Priest, and Bron Breakker in a wild Fatal Four-Way qualifying match to advance to the semifinals of the King of the Ring tournament.
The match had chaos from the start, with Dominik and Damian Priest surprisingly working together at times despite their history. That didn’t last long once Bron Breakker took over and started wiping everyone out.
Breakker tried to launch Dominik with a military press slam, but Trick Williams broke it up. Trick then fired back with kicks to Bron and Dominik before taking out Priest with a neckbreaker.
Things got even crazier when Priest, Trick, and Bron got tangled up near the ropes. What started as a superplex attempt turned into Trick and Bron joining forces to bring Priest crashing down, leaving everyone laid out.
Dominik kept trying to steal pins, but he only got two-counts on Priest, Breakker, and Trick. Trick then lit Dominik up with chops in the corner before Priest sent Dom into Trick and nearly got the win.
Priest later seemed ready to finish Dominik with a Razor’s Edge, but Liv Morgan distracted the referee and stopped the count from happening. Bron then came roaring back, hitting a military press on Priest, a Black Hole Slam on Trick, and a huge spear on Priest before throwing Dominik out of the ring.
Trick answered by hitting a Trick Shot on Bron, but Breakker quickly fired back and blasted Trick with a clothesline on the outside that sent him into the announcers’ table. That left Dominik and Priest alone in the ring, but JD McDonagh suddenly got involved. Priest shut him down with South of Heaven, only for Liv Morgan to strike Priest with a low blow.
Dominik took full advantage, hitting Priest with a 619 and following it up with a Frog Splash to steal the victory. With that win, Dominik Mysterio has officially advanced to the King of the Ring semifinal, where he’ll face off against Oba Femi. It wasn’t clean, and it definitely wasn’t pretty, but Dominik once again found a way to walk out with the result he needed.
