The final moments were thrilling. Dirty Dom came close to winning the triple threat bout and qualifying for the 2026 Money in the Bank ladder match. He caught Penta off guard with a 619, then followed it with a Frog Splash after the Luchador put Dragon Lee away with an apron Mexican Destroyer and got distracted.
Mysterio went to pin Penta, who kicked out. This infuriated Dirty Dom, who unwrapped the upper turnbuckle, leaving the spikes exposed. As he tried to shove the Luchador into the exposed turnbuckle, Penta reversed and sent the Judgment Day member into the exposed turnbuckle.
Penta followed it with a Springboard Mexican Destroyer to put “Dirty” Dom away and pinned him to punch his ticket for the 2026 Men’s Money in the Bank match.
In this article, we look at three reasons Dominik Mysterio failed to qualify for WWE Money in the Bank 2026.
#3. Triple H and WWE may have given up on him
Dominik Mysterio is one of the most hated heel superstars in the Stamford-based promotion. Whenever he appears on television, he gets a wave of boos that echoes throughout the arena.
Dirty Dom had a perfect year in 2025, holding the Intercontinental Championship for a long time. Later, he dropped it to John Cena, but regained it by beating the Last Real Champion at WWE Survivor Series 2025.
However, this year has been a total disaster for Dirty Dom, as he has been on a losing trajectory. Fans have noticed he is only being presented as part of Judgment Day, and WWE isn’t using him as a rising star in singles competition. This suggests Triple H may have given up on him, which is why he didn’t qualify for the Men’s Money in the Bank match.
#2. Setting up a babyface turn
Fans clearly see WWE undermining Dominik Mysterio. As a result, many have already started getting behind him and pointing at Triple H and the rest of the creative team for not booking him properly and for burying him.
Many may see it as though The Game has given up on a Judgment Day member. However, the Stamford-based promotion may be working on a master plan and deliberately burying him to earn natural sympathy from fans and turn him into a babyface.
Now, Dirty Dom losing a massive triple threat match and taking a pin has once again ignited conversation about the company being unfair to him.
That said, World Wrestling Entertainment could soon turn Dirty Dom into a babyface. An emotional loss would help him naturally move on.
#1. Penta couldn’t afford to take another loss
Penta replaced Solo Sikoa at the last moment, and he was already coming off a loss to Roman Reigns in a close World Heavyweight Championship match last week in Mexico City.
After his match, reports emerged that some people believed Penta would become a future WWE World Champion. That being said, he couldn’t afford a loss. Hence, Dirty Dom took the loss instead.
The angle above is speculative, and nothing has been confirmed yet. It will be interesting to see what plans Triple H and the WWE creative team have in store for Dirty Dom in the coming weeks.
