Original Plans for Dominik Mysterio Match at NXT No Mercy – Mustafa Ali was among the first WWE talents to publicly announce his departure from the company before the series of mass releases that affected both the main roster and NXT. Prior to his departure, Ali had been scheduled to challenge Dominik Mysterio for the NXT North American Championship at NXT No Mercy.
However, plans changed, and instead of Ali, Dominik Mysterio defended his title against Trick Williams at the event. Williams emerged victorious and captured the North American Championship. According to Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Radio, the original plans did not involve Ali winning the title, suggesting that the decision to put the championship on Trick Williams was a relatively late development in the storyline.
Meltzer: “I don’t know this, but it would feel like this was a very late decision because this match trick Williams never even scheduled for this match. “This was supposed to be Mustafa.”
Alvarez: Ali was not supposed to win. Now, I will say this. They have not announced an NXT yet, but I would not be the least bit surprised if within the next week or two. Trick offers a rematch to Dominik and Carmelo screws him out of the title and we get the belt back on Dominik because clearly, the belt is going to end up back on Dominik soon because he was never supposed to lose it. He wasn’t going to lose it to Ali. And so that would also play into this Carmelo-Trick storyline where Carmelo is jealous. That trick has a title and he does not.”
