An unscheduled confrontation during the WWE x AAA Worlds Collide presentation on June 7 led to a last-minute championship bout at Money in the Bank. Following a six-man tag team match featuring Octagon Jr., Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio, who was at ringside with Liv Morgan, entered the ring with a microphone.
Mysterio berated Octagon Jr. for his admiration of Rey Mysterio, labeling the WWE Hall of Famer a “deadbeat.” The remarks sparked a physical altercation between the two, which culminated in Mysterio challenging Octagon Jr. to a match for the Intercontinental Championship later in the evening.
During the subsequent title match at Money in the Bank, Liv Morgan proved to be the decisive factor. Morgan created a critical distraction, interfering while Octagon Jr. was positioned on the turnbuckle.
