Dominik Mysterio will defend his WWE Intercontinental Championship against Rusev on tonight's Monday Night RAW. Rusev defeated JD McDonagh last week on the show, and a scared Dominik couldn't even save his Judgment Day teammate from The Bulgarian Brute's assault.

Finn Balor had to come out, and he also gave Dom an earful for not being able to intervene and make the save. This week, Dom has an uphill task to protect his gold against the three-time United States Champion.

In this article, we will list four potential ways the WWE IC Title match between Dom and Rusev could conclude tonight on RAW.


Insane Vince McMahon ideas that got canceled - Watch Here!

#4. Finn Balor could turn on Dominik Mysterio, and Dom could lose the title

Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio do not gel well. The two have had a bitter-sweet relationship over the past few months. There have been numerous instances when it appeared that either of the two would turn against the other. However, that hasn't happened yet.

It could happen tonight, as Finn Balor might turn on Dominik, leaving him to face Rusev alone. Balor was angry at Dominik last week for being there and not saving JD McDonagh from Rusev's attack. The Prince might finally ditch Dirty Dom this time, costing him his WWE Intercontinental Championship.


#3. Rusev could win by DQ as Finn Balor and JD McDonagh interfere

Another probable ending of the match between Rusev and Dominik could be The Bulgarian Brute winning by disqualification, but not winning the gold exactly. This is one of the most common outcomes in title matches on the shows.

Finn Balor and JD McDonagh might attack Rusev, causing the referee to call off the match. Dom would lose this match, but we would still retain his WWE Intercontinental Championship. This would set their clash for another big PLE.


#2. Dominik Mysterio could retain the WWE IC Title after JD McDonagh and Finn Balor help him

Dominik could also retain his WWE Intercontinental Championship after receiving help from Finn Balor and JD McDonagh. Dom has so far been able to win crucial matches somehow or another, thanks to the help from his Judgment Day teammates.

Tonight might just be another night when the 28-year-old superstar could win the match with help from his stablemates. Even if Finn Balor doesn't come out, JD McDonagh can help Dom save his title from Rusev.


#1. Rusev could win clean

Another finish could be Rusev beating Dominik Mysterio clean and winning the Intercontinental Championship with no Finn Balor and JD McDonagh around. The 39-year-old superstar has all the reasons to win this match on his own. Dominik is definitely no match for Rusev's strength, and on any given day, Rusev will easily defeat Dominik.

If the company wants to finally start a feud between Dom and Balor, then it can book Dom to lose the gold to Rusev tonight on RAW. Otherwise, there are no other reasons; a title change is happening on the show tonight.
