Dominik Mysterio crafts epic WrestleMania moment with Intercontinental Championship victory
LAS VEGAS – Dominik Mysterio etched his name in the WrestleMania history books on Sunday night.
Mysterio defeated Finn Balor, Penta and Bron Breakker in a fatal four-way match to win the Intercontinental Championship at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

The match started like a car wreck. Penta somersaulted over the ropes to hit Mysterio and Balor. Breakker then jumped onto Balor’s back to punch Penta in the head. Breakker was the target of all of his opponents all match long as he was the champion and the strongest one in the ring.
Penta’s acrobatics gave him and advantage – at least in the short term. Breakker’s ability to recover quick was crucial. He put Penta and Balor into a German suplex in one of the top moments of the match early.
Breakker’s miss on Penta left the door open for Mysterio to take control. In shades of Eddie Guerrero, he put Penta through a series of suplexes with help from his Judgment Day stablemate Balor. Doing that to Breakker was not going to be easy.
Breakker countered and suplexed both Balor and Mysterio simultaneously. The straps were off. Breakker nailed Balor with a Frankensteiner but got caught taking too much time. It was Mysterio and Balor left in the ring.

Mysterio thought he could sneak a 619 on Balor but was countered. Balor stomped Mysterio, seemingly signaling a forthcoming break-up of the two longtime partners.
Carlito, the third member of the Judgment Day, got involved in the match as he tried to help his friends out. He interfered with Breakker and Penta. But Breakker got his revenge.
Carlito stood on one of the announce tables and across from him was Breakker. The son of the legendary Rick Steiner then speared Carlito through the table.
Breakker speared Penta but Mysterio came back and hit the 619. Balor interfered with Mysterio’s frog splash attempt and it appeared he was on the verge of winning the match.
As Balor tried to pin Breakker, Mysterio was on the top rope and hit the frog splash on top of him. Mysterio pinned Balor and picked up the incredible win.

It’s Mysterio’s first Intercontinental Championship reign and first main-roster singles title. He received a curtain call before going into the back.

Second Lady Usha Vance joins celebrity-filled crowd for Team USA’s group-stage finale in LA
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Team USA’s final group stage match in the 2026 FIFA World Cup may not have had any implications for either team, but patriotism was in full force for the home country as Second Lady Usha Vance was among the many prominent figures at Los Angeles Stadium on Thursday night.
As the U.S. national anthem rang across the stadium, with players and fans singing in unison, the FOX Sports broadcast showed Vance in a suite with a huge smile on her face as “The Star-Spangled Banner” ended.
Vance was present at the match just two days after FIFA President Gianni Infantino announced that President Donald Trump would present the World Cup trophy to the winning team at the final in New Jersey on July 19.

Vance was just the beginning of the stars that showed out in Inglewood, as Paris Hilton was seen presenting the match ball before kick-off. Then, cameras started to pick up the many high-profile faces throughout the crowd.
Among them were Edward Norton and Brad Pitt, a pair that many movie lovers know from their hit classic “Fight Club.” Some social media users even hoped that the discussion they were seen having was about a sequel.

Also, movie star Ashton Kutcher was seen speaking with Los Angeles Rams standout wide receiver Puka Nacua, who knows the confines of SoFi Stadium (what it is called outside of FIFA play) very well.
Then, Colin Farrell, though Irish born, was rocking a replica Team USA jersey alongside his son in the stands to support the Stars and Stripes. Leonardo DiCaprio, Scottie Pippen and more were also seen in the seats.

There has been a tremendous outpouring of support for the USMNT from everywhere, celebrity or not, throughout this tournament. The 4-2 win over Paraguay at the same Los Angeles stadium caused a frenzy in the stands, as the U.S. made a statement to begin the tournament on home soil for the first time since 1999.

Then, it was on to Seattle, where a 2-0 victory over Australia not only led to a spot in the knockout round, but led to a bellowing of the John Denver classic, “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” from everyone in the stands. The USMNT saluted their fans after yet another successful match.
It was a much different look for the USMNT entering Thursday night’s matchup against Türkiye, with nine changes to the starting XI after the team had already secured its place in the knockout stage. The Americans will face Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round of 32 on July 1.

Shohei Ohtani is the first Dodger to be named 2026 All-Star
Shohei Ohtani was the first Dodger to be named a 2026 All-Star, after leading the majors in Phase 1 voting for the All-Star game on July 14 in Philadelphia. Six other Dodgers were finalists through the fan ballot, giving them a chance to claim starting spots in Phase 2 of voting.
Ohtani locked down the starting DH spot for the National League squad, with 3,341,257 votes. The top vote-getters in each league bypass Phase 2. Second baseman Ernie Clement of the Toronto Blue Jays was the top vote-getter in the American League, with 3,232,932 votes.
Ohtani was the expected choice, despite a slow offensive start. His red-hot June boosted him up the leaderboards. He entered Thursday with the second-highest OPS in the National League (.963), barely trailing Mets outfielder Juan Soto (.965).
Pitchers aren’t chosen through the fan vote — hurlers and reserves have to wait for the player ballot (which includes votes from players, coaches and managers) and commissioners picks. But Ohtani has been just as impressive on the mound this year.
He has a 1.58 ERA, the fourth-best mark among NL pitchers who have thrown at least 50 innings this season.
Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (2,666,008 votes), third baseman Max Muncy (2,890,181) and outfielder Andy Pages (2,158,664) also led their respective NL position groups in voting. Other Dodgers finalists, who advance to voting Phase 2, include catcher Will Smith (1,871,805), shortstop Mookie Betts (1,762,343 ) and outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (1,569,932).
The vote totals reset for Phase 2, which runs from next Monday through Thursday. The remainder of the All-Star starters are set to be announced on July 4 on Fox Sports.

The United States men’s national team opened its 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign with a commanding 4-1 rout of Paraguay behind two goals from Folarin Balogun, and after taking care of Australia, the team has one match left in the group stage against Turkey on Thursday night.
The Americans took care of Australia last week 2-0 to keep their strong start rolling. The victory clinched a knockout-round berth for Team USA. The USMNT will look to carry its momentum into their match against Turkey as the Stars and Stripes return to Los Angeles Stadium.

Australia began its World Cup run with a win over Turkey before suffering a setback against the U.S. The Australians will meet Paraguay on Thursday in a match featuring two teams already beaten by the Americans during the group stage.
Late last month, the Americans defeated Senegal, 3-2, in a World Cup tuneup match.
Under head coach Mauricio Pochettino, the USMNT entered the tournament as the No. 17 team in the FIFA World Rankings. FIFA determines its world rankings using the Elo rating system, which rewards teams for wins and penalizes them for losses while also factoring in the strength of the competition.
