Intercontinental champion Mysterio faces Penta

Whether he likes it or not, Intercontinental champion Dominik Mysterio will battle Penta in a highly anticipated rematch for the title at WWE Backlash on Saturday.

"Dirty" Dom captured the gold in an explosive Fatal 4-Way Match against then-titleholder Bron Breakker, Finn Bálor and Penta at WrestleMania, but Penta wasn't pinned. Mysterio retained the title against Penta one-on-one the following night on the Raw after WrestleMania, but JD McDonagh returned and interfered in the title fight to help Mysterio win.

And now that the explosive Penta has defeated McDonagh, he is again turning his attention to unseating Mysterio and becoming champion.

Many of Mysterio's antics cloud the fact that he is a dangerous Superstar once the bell rings, but can he overcome Penta and his explosive arsenal? Will The Judgment Day be on the same page, particularly with Liv Morgan away making a movie?
