AAA On FOX
Date: May 23, 2026
Location: Gimnasio Olimpico Juan de la Barrera, Mexico City, Mexico
Commentators: Savio Vega, John Bradshaw Layfield, Corey Graves
We’re a week away from Noche de Los Grandes and easily the biggest match AAA has had since WWE took over. That means we’re likely to get a bunch of build on the way to the battle of Los Grande Americanos, which should make for a fun night. Other than that, the Cruiserweight Title is on the line so let’s get to it.
Here are last week’s results if you need a recap.
We open in the ring, with the Roldan Family and the candidates for the position of General Manager. After a video of highlights from the company’s history, Marisela Pena talks about the company’s history and future. With that (eventually) out of the way, she introduces the new General Manager: Rey Mysterio. Makes enough sense, and JBL freaking out on commentary is funny (“This is a bigger mistake than the freaking Gobbledygooker!”). Mysterio talks about getting a new start in this building and they’re going to take this company to a new level. And we’re starting with these two.
Cruiserweight Title: Rey Fenix vs. Laredo Kid
Fenix is challenging and we get a quick hand slap of respect. They run the ropes and Fenix misses a dropkick, giving us a standoff. Fenix rolls outside and gets taken down with a heck of a suicide dive. Back in and Kid dives into a sitout powerbomb for two but a Michinoku Driver drops Fenix for the same. Fenix knocks him off the top and misses a moonsault but keeps rolling right into a cutter to drop Kid (nice).
Kid is back with a destroyer DDT and a poisonrana but Fenix pops up for a German suplex. Fenix pulls him off the top and puts him right back up for the Mexican MuscleBuster. That’s reversed into a cradle for two so Fenix kicks him in the head. Kid can barely stand and the referee checks him before telling the timekeeper that Kid can continue. That’s enough of a distraction for Kid to hit Fenix low, setting up the frog splash to retain at 8:52.
Rating: B. Naturally these two can go nuts against each other very well, as they are both more than talented enough to make that happen. Fenix getting suckered in by a seemingly full on evil Kid is a good way to keep the story going and Fenix will probably get a rematch. Someone has to beat Kid for the title and Fenix is a rather solid choice.
Noche de Los Grandes rundown.
Rey Mysterio is not pleased with Laredo Kid and the rematch is set for Noche de Los Grandes.
We look at a rally for El Grande Americano and my goodness that man is more over than free beer in a frat house.
Los Americanos Hermanos vs. Los Americanos
Anything goes. It’s a brawl to start (as it should be) with Rayo diving onto Julio. That earns Rayo a toss out to the floor but Bravo is back in with some dancing punches. Rayo has to come back in for the save but Bravo is up to use Julio as a stepping stone to dive onto Bruto. Back up and a Bruto Ball hits everyone on the floor and everyone is down for a bit. Bravo gets posted by Bruto, who gets dropkicked by Rayo and it’s time for the weapons. Los Hermanos get chairs, which are taken away and used on them instead.
A double drop toehold sends Bruto into the open chair. Julio gets crotched against the post a few times and it’s time for an Original El Grande Americano pinata. The Meteora sends the pinata into Julio (Savio is disappointed by the lack of candy) and it’s time for a table. JBL: “I always wonder who puts all this stuff underneath the ring.” Los Americanos fight back with the chairs, with Rayo being slammed onto one to slow things back down.
A superbomb is broken up as Bravo comes back in with an American flag to clean house. Back in and we hit the airplane spin, complete with the reverse version to make it worse. Stereo flying headbutts get two on Bruto as the fans are rather pleased. The Hermanos are back up with a Super Collider (with Graves actually using that name) for two but Rayo and Bravo both go up. Julio runs the corner and superplexes both of them, setting up a 450 for two on Bravo.
The table is loaded up but Rayo is back in with the kendo stick for the save. Bravo’s top rope splash puts Bruto through a table at ringside and they’re both down. Back in and Bravo loads up his mask for a top rope headbutt/Russian legsweep combination. Cue the Original El Grande Americano to suplex Bravo through a table at ringside and Rayo is put through the announcers’ table.
El Grande Americano comes in with a chair but can’t touch Original so they yell at each other a lot. Original goes to leave so Americano yells at him for everything that he has done. The only thing that Original will ever be is Shorty G and that’s enough to bring Original back in.
Original takes off his jacket and reveals a shirt with Americano’s girlfriend (the interviewer Original insisted be fired a few weeks back). Americano goes at him but the partners hold them back…until the fight breaks out anyway. Rey Mysterio comes out to say this is a big mess but the mask vs. mask match is still on. The locker room empties out and Mysterio tries to calm things down as the show ends. The match is a no contest at we’ll say about 25:00.
Rating: B+. You have two things going at once here, with the match itself and then the big argument/brawl. The tag match was one heck of a fight, with both teams beating the daylights out of each other. That’s good enough, but the real money in this whole thing (as in AAA right now) is the battle of the Grande Americanos. This has an energy to it that I haven’t seen in a good while and I want to see these guys beat the daylights out of each other. The fans couldn’t be much hotter for the whole thing either and that made it even better. Heck of a main event here, with the angle at the end making it that much bigger.
We get a rather nice comic book themed video on the mask vs. mask match to wrap it up. This is another great look at the feud, which is one of the best builds I’ve seen in a long time. They absolutely have something with Americano and if they can stick the landing next week, he’s going to be a made man in AAA.
Overall Rating: A-. I’m not sure if it’s great booking or just having a rabid fan base with a hot angle (likely a bit of both) but AAA is on fire right now. It’s amazing to see how different the Americanos feud is on Raw compared to here, as it’s a joke vs. the hottest feud going right now. Noche de Los Grandes should be big, but it’s all about the mask vs. mask match right now and that’s pretty amazing given how ridiculous the whole thing was for so long. It’s a great lesson in finding the right audience, and they have certainly done that.
