Tensions escalated when Bálor prevented Mysterio from cheating during a prior match for the Intercontinental Championship, a move that led to Mysterio losing the title to Penta. This sequence of events culminated in Bálor being ousted from the group, prompting his challenge to Mysterio for a match at WrestleMania.
