AAA On FOX
Date: August 22, 2026
Location: Coliseo Centenario, Torreon, Mexico
Commentators: Corey Graves, Rey Mysterio, John Bradshaw Layfield
We’re rapidly approaching TripleMania and the big story continues to be Dominik Mysterio teaming up with El Ojo to deal with El Grande Americano. That could make for some interesting situations between now and the biggest show of the year, but we also have to deal with the new monster coming after the Psycho Circus. Let’s get to it.
Here are last week’s results if you need a recap.
The opening recap looks at Los Perros del Mal recruiting Penta to fight with them, saying he needs help against Roman Reigns and the Bloodline (as we continue pretending that anyone but Penta is winning the #1 contenders tournament). Penta isn’t sure, but will face Bronco Nima tonight with his future on the line.
Opening sequence.
Galeno vs. Omos
Dorian Roldan is here with Omos. Galeno forearms away to start and Omos is staggered but knocks Galeno into the corner with ease. A beal out of the corner sends Galeno flying and Omos gives him a slam. Back up and Galeno dropkicks the knee to set up a DDT as the fans are behind him. Galeno’s frog splash only gets one and Omos’ chokeslam gets two. They go outside with Galeno using the steps, which Omos takes away and uses on Galeno. The referee calls what we’ll say is a No DQ at 5:28.
Rating: C+. This was the old WWF idea of a battle of the big men, even if one of them was tiny compared to the other. That’s how you should use someone like Omos, as he doesn’t get in the ring very often and gets to smash through anyone. It worked here, with Galeno doing well in his role as well.
Post match Omos goes to crush Galeno but Rey Mysterio gets in his way. A chokeslam is loaded up but Roldan breaks it up, with Mysterio suspending Omos. That earns Mysterio a shot to the chest as Dominik Mysterio is here to try to calm things down.
Flammer and La Hiedra came in to see Rey Mysterio earlier today, with Flammer saying she’s taking TripleMania off because there is no one left to come after her. Mysterio had another idea: a gauntlet match, with the winner getting the TripleMania title shot. Works for Flammer, but Mysterio wants to talk to Hiedra about something else.
Money Machine vs. LWO vs. Psycho Circus vs. Los Americanos
For a Tag Team Title shot. Del Toro and Rayo trade missed dropkicks to start and it’s off to Wilde, who gets taken down with a backbreaker. A slingshot hilo connects on Wilde so Money Machine comes in to take over on Bravo. The Circus comes in to take over on Oro and it’s everyone getting together to go after Murder Clown. Plata hits a dive to take over and the Machine beats on Bravo in the corner.
Naturally Bravo can suplex both of them at once and it’s back to Rayo with a top rope seated senton. It’s right back to to Dave The clown to clean house, including a big suicide dive to the floor. Murder comes back in for a dive of his own to the floor but of course Bravo is able to give him an airplane spin. The LWO takes the Clowns out and a Phoenix splash hits Rayo, with Bravo diving out of nowhere for the save. A Russian legsweep/top rope clothesline combination finishes Wilde to give Los Americanos the title shot at 12:17.
Rating: B. The match was the usual messy affair that you would have expected but Los Americanos going forward is a good way to go. They’re associated with the hottest star in the promotion so tack them on with another title match. It’s not like any of the other teams really stand out all that much.
We get the weekly press conference from Rey Mysterio, where he reiterates that Omos is suspended and says that Galeno will be out of action due to injuries. Therefore, Damian Priest will be in the final match for the Latin American Title. That’s next Sunday at Ola de Calor.
Penta vs. Bronco Nima
If Penta wins, he’s free but if Nima wins, Penta is in Los Perros del Mal. Nima jumps him from behind to start and throws him inside for the bell. Penta’s mask is tied to the rope but Nima takes too long, allowing Penta to fight back. That means the big running flip dive, only for Nima to come back with a shoulderbreaker for two.
The Mexican Destroyer is blocked so Penta has to settle for a tornado DDT. Penta is right back with a basement superkick and another try at the Mexican Destroyer, which is blocked as well. This time though the counter is countered into a small package to give Penta the pin at 4:58.
Rating: C+. This didn’t have time to go anywhere but Penta isn’t about to lose anytime soon when he is all but guaranteed to get a title shot against Roman Reigns in a few weeks. This wraps up the loose end of Los Perros as Penta is on his way to Mexico City and the biggest match of his career. Nima was just a warm body here and that’s fine.
Post match Los Perros come in and lay Nima out, with Penta just leaving them be. Penta gets in and is offered a shirt but turns the team down. That earns Penta a beating of his own. Rey Fenix and Dragon Lee run in for the save and the challenge is issued for Ola de Calor. Rey Mysterio makes it official to end the show.
Overall Rating: B. The more I watch of this show, the more I like it. This was another situation where they started fast and kept going, covering a few things in just over an hour. It remains the easiest show to watch every week and I could go for seeing where it goes in the coming weeks. TripleMania should be a show stealer and that’s exactly what it should be, especially with how well this show has been going as of late.
