Dominik Mysterio is the reigning WWE Intercontinental and AAA Mega Champion. He won the IC Title at WrestleMania 41 and later captured the Mega Championship at Worlds Collide: Las Vegas on September 12.

However, it now appears that a former Intercontinental Champion might return to the Stamford-based promotion after eleven years in a jaw-dropping twist and finally dethrone the young Mysterio.

Ezekiel Jackson is the former IC Champion in question. He officially parted ways with WWE in April 2014, after initially announcing in January that he was undergoing a second surgery. Following his departure, Jackson had a brief stint in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) and Lucha Underground, before working for other International promotions.

However, on his official X account, the 47-year-old has revealed that he's preparing to return to the squared circle next year and is available for bookings. He initially made his in-ring return in March at FWE Full Throttle, nearly ten years after his last match at Westside Xtreme Wrestling (wXw) promotion.

Following that announcement, WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H might now consider bringing back Ezekiel Jackson for another run in the Stamford-based promotion. The Game could book his return during the Men's Royal Rumble Match.

Although Jackson's chances of winning the Rumble are slim to none, the creative team might use that opportunity to involve him in a program with Dominik Mysterio during the match by having either of the duo eliminate the other.

If that happens, the duo could blow the roof off with their rivalry on RAW and open the door for a blockbuster match at WrestleMania 42 for the Intercontinental Championship.

Interestingly, the Guayana native could pull off a massive victory over Dominik Mysterio at The Show of Shows and capture the IC Title for the second time in his career, as a part of a blockbuster storyline.

As of now, this angle is hypothetical, and nothing has been confirmed.

Dominik Mysterio reacts to Liv Morgan reaching a major milestone in WWE

Liv Morgan has been out of action for a while. She sustained an injury during a match against Kairi Sane on the June 16 episode of RAW and has been off television since then.

Amid her absence from the squared circle, Morgan has achieved a major milestone in her career. Earlier this week, she celebrated ten years since her official debut in the Stamford-based promotion.

Interestingly, her on-screen boyfriend, Dominik Mysterio, didn't fail to acknowledge that, as he reacted to Liv reaching this milestone on social media. However, Liv has been rumored to return to WWE sooner than expected. It will be interesting to see what the company has in store for her after her potential return.
