Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio’s WrestleMania 42 match received a late stipulation change, and the reason was a straightforward creative concern about the overall shape of the two-night card.
According to Fightful Select, WWE converted the match into a Street Fight during the kickoff show for WrestleMania 42 night two after determining during WrestleMania week that the card had too many standard one-on-one bouts across both nights. The late switch was made specifically to add variety to the lineup and prevent the show from feeling repetitive, given how many regular singles matches were already booked.
The change had an immediate impact on the nature of the match itself. With Balor competing as The Demon, the Street Fight stipulation made weapons and table spots central to the action, turning the bout into one of the more chaotic and violent matches of the night.
When the match ended, The Demon walked away with the victory. Balor finished Dominik by hitting a Coup de Grace through a table, bringing a definitive end to their long-running feud in emphatic fashion.
