The Mysterio family has another championship to add to their resume. Dominik Mysterio, the son of Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio, has captured the Intercontinental Championship for the first time in his career.

Dominik Mysterio did so by defeating Penta. Finn Balor and former champion Bron Breakker in a fatal-four-way match during Night 2 of WrestleMania 41.

The intriguing thing about Dominik Mysterio's championship win is that he pinned Balor, his teammate in the Judgement Day faction, to pick up the victory.

Balor was in position to win the match before Dominik Mysterio hit him with a patented Mysterio frog splash to help himself win the match.

With his championship loss, Breakker's first Intercontinental Championship reign in WWE ended at 181 days.

"Monday Night Raw" will be a pivotal show for the Judgement Day, and with Dominik Mysterio's sudden turn on Balor, the future of the group may very well be in jeopardy.
