Dominik Mysterio is scheduled to defend his NXT North American Championship against Mustafa Ali at NXT: No Mercy.

During this week's edition of NXT, Mustafa Ali and Dragon Lee clashed in a number one contender's match for the NXT North American Championship. Mysterio was the special referee. 'Dirty Dom' used his heel antics in the match which impacted the outcome of the match.

It was quite obvious that 'Dom Dom' didn't want Lee to get the match. The Judgment Day member caused trouble for Dragon Lee and refrained him from winning the match by counting slowly whenever he tried to pin Ali.

However, Dom quickly counted to three when Mustafa rolled up and pinned his opponent. This earned Ali a title match against the champion. Dragon Lee was left furious by Dom's actions. Following the match, Ali attacked Dominik Mysterio to send a statement.

Mysterio has held NXT North American Champion since he defeated Wes Lee on the July 18 episode of NXT. His last title defense was against Lee on the August 8 episode of "NXT."

We will have to see if Dominik manages to defend his title at NXT: No Mercy which is set for September 30, 2023, and will be taking place at the Mechanics Bank Arena in Bakersfield, California.
