AAA On FOX – August 1, 2026 (Verando de Escandalo Week Two): Oh Who Cares? (Includes Full Show)
AAA On FOX
Date: August 1, 2026
Location: Arena San Marcos, Aguascalientes, Mexico
Commentators: John Bradshaw Layfield, Rey Mysterio, Corey Graves
It’s time for the second week of Verano de Escandalo and we have another title match, as Rey Fenix defends the Cruiserweight Title against Mini Vikingo. The big story coming out of last week was Dominik Mysterio joining up with El Ojo, which should create some problems for El Grande American as we get closer to TripleMania. Let’s get to it.
We open with a recap of last week’s main event, with Dominik Mysterio betraying El Grande Americano, but for El Ojo rather than Los Perros del Mal.
Last week, Mysterio says you should have expected that because he is the King of the Luchadors.
Latin American Title Qualifying Match: Lince Dorado vs. Mecha Wolf vs. La Parka
Parka dances a bit to start and gets knocked down by the other two. Dorado is sent outside though and a dropkick has Wolf joining him. Parka dances some more and grabs a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker on Dorado. That lets Parka dive, only for the other two to catch and post him. Dorado throws Wolf down though and snaps off a top rope hurricanrana to Parka. Wolf is back up for a dive each to both of them, followed by a DDT for two on Dorado.
Parka is back in with a double rolling cutter and a double flapjack for a bonus. The middle rope moonsault hits Dorado and Wolf on the floor as the fans certainly approve. Parka is knocked down, leaving Wolf to spinning superplex Dorado. Parka’s diving save breaks that up at two and fireman’s carries both of them at once.
Dorado escapes to give Parka a handspring Stunner before taking Wolf off the apron. Back in and Dorado gives Parka a shooting star press for two more. Wolf mists Dorado but gets suplexes by Parka. An overhead belly to belly sends Wolf into the corner and it’s a top rope splash into the Bone Breaker for the pin at 12:05.
Rating: B. This was pretty much non-stop throughout the match and I got into the whole thing. That’s not the biggest surprise as these matches tend to be nuts, but this was even bigger than usual. Parka is just crazy popular right now and it’s great to see the fans responding like that.
Someone films the Psycho Circus….walking? In theory it’s the attacker filming them because who else would it be?
Los Perros del Mal brag about what they’ve done so far and promise that things are growing even bigger next week.
Dinamico/Drago vs. Galeno/El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr.
Dinamico jumps over Wagner to start and it’s off to Drago for a pump kick. Wagner isn’t having that though and knocks them both down, with Galeno making a blind tag. Galeno runs over Dinamico on the floor with Drago getting caught in the wrong corner. Wagner boots Dinamico out to the floor and it’s a splash off of Galeno’s shoulders. The Galeno Special finishes Drago at 2:43. Total squash.
Rey Mysterio was surprised by Dominik Mysterio joining El Ojo but he isn’t backing down. That’s all for this week though, because we have a big main event.
Cruiserweight Title: Mini Vikingo vs. Rey Fenix
Fenix is defending. They shake hands to start and they flip around a lot, followed by a series of kicks. Vikingo’s spinning high crossbody gets two, as does Fenix’s. Back up and Vikingo’s crucifix driver gets two more but Fenix is back up with a rope walk kick to the head. A Death Valley Driver gives Fenix two more so Vikingo gives him a Spanish Fly for the same.
Fenix’s kick to the face doesn’t do much as Vikingo knocks him down and hits a frog splash for another near fall. The super Spanish Fly plants Fenix for two more and Vikingo can’t believe the kickout. Fenix’s Mexican MuscleBuster is broken up so he opts to just knee Vikingo in the back of the head for two more. Now the Mexican MuscleBuster can retain the title at 10:53.
Rating: B+. Much like the opener, this was about taking people and letting them go nuts for a few minutes until one of them got the pin. Fenix was getting exasperated at not being able to put Vikingo away and that made some of Vikingo’s near falls feel even better. I dug this one a lot and it moved Vikingo up even in a loss.
Post match respect is shown. Vikingo goes to the back, where Dorian Roldan whispers something to him to end the show.
Overall Rating: B+. While this might not have felt like some big special edition show, it was more than entertaining enough for about fifty five minutes. The two matches that actually got some time were both more than good and the squash match was the kind of entertaining you get from something like that. I’m not sure if it needed to be part of Verano de Escandalo, but I’ll take what I can get here. Rather fun show, as AAA can often be.
Results
La Parka b. Lince Dorado and Mecha Wolf – Bone Breaker to Wolf
Galeno/El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. b. Dinamico/Drago – Galeno Special to Drago
Rey Fenix b. Mini Vikingo – Mexican MuscleBuster

AAA On FOX – July 25, 2025 (Verano de Escalando Week One): Yeah He Had To (Includes Full Show)
AAA On FOX
Date: July 25, 2026
Location: Arena San Marcos, Aguascalientes, Mexico
Commentators: John Bradshaw Layfield, Rey Mysterio, Corey Graves
It’s the first week (out of three) of Verano de Escalando and that means we’re in for the first of three big main events. In this case that means El Grande Americano/Dominik Mysterio vs. Los Perros del Mal. Other than that, the Mixed Tag Team Titles are on the line and that should be worth a look so let’s get to it.
Here is Rey Mysterio to welcome us to the show and talk about how important this city has been to his career. He has some good news for us but here is El Ojo to interrupt instead. Dorian Roldan says that Mysterio has been in charge while El Hijo del Vikingo has been injured and costing Omos a chance at the Latin American Title. Mysterio needs to make Omos the Latin American Champion right now, or violence will ensue. That’s still a no so Roldan threatens him and the villains walk off.
Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano don’t trust each other but Mysterio insists that he wants them to face off at TripleMania. Everything seems ok, or at least ok enough. Mysterio leaves and Damian (in a Los Perros del Mal shirt) shows up to say “few are chosen”.
We look at La Hiedra turning on Mr. Iguana but Lola Vice was there to team up with him instead. Now La Hiedra and Laredo Kid want the titles, with Vice suggesting that Hiedra still loves Iguana.
Mixed Tag Team Titles: La Hiedra/Laredo Kid vs. Mr. Iguana/Lola Vice
Iguana and Vice are defending. Kid wrestles Iguana down to start before they both flip over, with Iguana sitting on the mat. A running dropkick puts Kid down so Hiedra comes in for a staredown with Iguana. That doesn’t work for Vice who comes in to strike away, with the hip shaking included. Kid gets struck down as well and the champions get to pose for a bit. Hiedra and Iguana have another staredown on the floor and Iguana seems to be a bit deflated.
Back in and Hiedra chokes Vice on the rope and we hit the chinlock. Vice gets up with a belly to back suplex and there’s the tag to the men. Kid comes back in to kick Iguana down and hits a 450, with the referee just pausing in the middle of the count. Iguana gets up and even Mysterio isn’t sure what happened. The women come back in for a rollup until Vice kicks Hiedra in the head for two more. Iguana is sent into the steps so Vice takes Kid out, only to get Glam Slammed for the pin and the titles at 9:35.
Rating: C+. This was interesting as they had only made a few references to the whole love triangle thing. Instead we got a much more detailed look here and it made for a better story. If nothing else, the title change was a bit of a surprise, though it does feel like it gives the story another extension.
We get the weekly press conference with Rey Mysterio, who isn’t happy with El Ojo. He’s cut off by a message from Penta though, who will be appearing at the August 15 show. Also, action figures are coming and we get a preview for the next two weeks to wrap it up. Not much to be said here.
Los Perros del Mal vs. El Grande Americano/Dominik Mysterio
It’s Daga/Angel Garza for Los Perros. Daga and Mysterio take turns posing until Mysterio slugs away. A slam gets Daga out of trouble and he chops away in the corner, earning himself a trip into the wrong corner. Americano comes in and gets knocked down by Daga, with Garza shaking the ropes to take Americano down again. Garza gets to hammer down right hands in the corner, with Americano actually fighting back for a unique visual.
Mysterio comes back in and gets clotheslined for two. The beating ensues, at least until Mysterio gets in a tornado DDT. Americano comes back in to fight back and helps Mysterio on the Third Amigo. The frog splash gets two but the 619 is broken up (JBL: “I wish I had learned that counter against his dad.”).
Daga gets taken out with a dragon screw legwhip but the referee gets bumped. The 619 connects so Mysterio loads up his hammer, only for the rest of Los Perros to send him into the steps. A Gory Special into a knee to the face gets two on Americano as here are Los Americanos to make the save. Bravo hits a HUGE dive off the lighting structure (with the drone camera going all over the place for a cool visual).
Bronco Nima puts Los Americanos through a table but gets taken out by Americano. That leaves Americano to get piledriven and caught in a German suplex/missile dropkick combination for two each. Americano fights up but Mysterio drops to the floor and walks away. An assisted top rope double stomp finishes Americano at 20:35.
Rating: B. I was surprised by the result as I wouldn’t have expected Americano to lose for a long time. The good thing is that he lost after a bunch of interference and all kinds of big moves so he is certainly protected. Mysterio turning on him was about as obvious as you could get, though I’ll take this over Mysterio leading Los Perros, which wouldn’t have really fit.
Post match Mysterio goes to leave…and here is El Ojo, with Mysterio seemingly being the new leader. Rey knows this is a big problem to end the show. That’s a good move as El Ojo was just kind of floating around doing nothing so this gives them an actual story to be attacked to, which they’ve been needing.
Overall Rating: B. This felt like a major event and that’s a good thing to see. The main event was a big step forward for Mysterio vs. Americano and they should be fine on the way to TripleMania. Oddly enough the title change felt like a big deal as well, which I wasn’t exactly expecting. Good show here, and it did feel like an important event, as they tend to be around here, at least at the start.
Results
La Hiedra/Laredo Kid b. Mr. Iguana/Lola Vice – Glam Slam to Vice
Los Perros del Mal b. El Grande Americano/Dominik Mysterio – Assisted top rope double stomp to Americano

AAA On FOX – July 11, 2026: Prep Time (Includes Full Show)
AAA On FOX
Date: July 11, 2026
Location: Arena Potosi, San Luis Potosi, Mexico
Commentators: John Bradshaw Layfield, Corey Graves
We’re on to a new taping cycle and the big story coming out of last week was the debut of Damian Priest. That’s quite the big name for AAA and it should be interesting to see what he does in his new surroundings. Dominik Mysterio is supposed to be here as well, but that has been somewhat misleading before. Let’s get to it.
Here are last week’s results if you need a recap.*
Dragon Lee vs. Jack Cartwheel vs. Mini Vikingo
For a future Cruiserweight Title shot. Cartwheel is knocked down to start and Vikingo snaps off a running hurricanrana to Lee. Cartwheel dives onto both of them before backflipping into a standoff with Vikingo back inside. Another big dive hits Vikingo on the floor but Lee catches Cartwheel going up. Vikingo breaks up Lee’s double stomp with a super Spanish Fly, leaving Cartwheel to get caught with the running knees in the corner.
Lee is back up to stomp Vikingo but Cartwheel’s slingshot splash gets two. Cartwheel escapes Lee’s Styles Clash attempt and Vikingo cuts off Lee’s dive. Vikingo is sent over the announcers’ table, leaving the other two to brawl. Back in and Cartwheel Spanish Flies Lee for two, only to miss a shooting star press. A sitout powerbomb drops Cartwheel for two but Lee hits the Styles Clash. Vikingo is back in with a 630 to steal the pin on Cartwheel at 8:19.
Rating: B. I’m running out of ways to talk about how much fun these three ways have been. You know exactly what you’re going to get with them but they wind up being all kinds of entertaining anyway. That’s all it needed to be and they seem to be trying something with Mini Vikingo. It’s a good way to start the show and it worked again here.
Post match respect is shown.
Rey Mysterio goes to see El Grande Americano and warns him about Los Perros del Mal. Americano isn’t backing down but he can’t win this alone. Dominik Mysterio comes in to say Los Perros view Americano as weak and they might be right. Rey is glad to have Dominik here again and leaves. Dominik is ready to face Americano at TripleMania but warns him that it won’t happen if Americano is taken out by Los Perros. Don’t worry though, because Dominik will have his back. Americano isn’t quite impressed.
Mini Vikingo stops Dorian Roldan and Omos, saying they bet on the wrong Vikingo.
Here is El Ojo to deal with the fate of the Latin American Title after the injury to El Hijo del Vikingo. Dorian Roldan says he is here for some sad news, as El Hijo del Vikingo is out for weeks after surgery. Once he gets back, they’re going to sue Rey Mysterio (JBL: “Good.”). For now though, there is going to be a new Latin American Champion and it’s…Omos. Well that got more complicated.
This brings out Rey Mysterio to interrupt, saying he knows what Vikingo is going through as he has had a bunch of knee surgeries in his own right. For now though, Omos has one change to hand over the title…and he does just that. The title is officially vacant and he’ll have an announcement about the crowning of a new champion next week. That was a good head fake but just handing the title to an unstoppable monster wasn’t a great idea.
Damian Priest wants in on the Latin American Title.
It’s time for the weekly Rey Mysterio press conference. Verano de Escalando will be a three week event with a main event each week. First up, Mini Vikingo challenges Rey Fenix for the Cruiserweight Title. Also at the show, Lady Shani and La Catalina are challenging Flammer for the Reina de Reinas Title. Finally, we’ll have a #1 contenders match for the Mixed Tag Team Titles, with Faby Apache teaming with Joaquin Wilde against La Hiedra/Laredo Kid, with the title match at Verano de Escalando. More coming next week.
Money Machine vs. Noisy Boy/Epydemius Jr.
Plata and Noisy start things off with Noisy working on an early wristlock. Plata easily sends him down but Noisy backflips away into a quick pose. Oro comes in to headlock Jr., who flips away into a similar pose as the team seems to have a trend. Jr. grabs an armbar to hand it off to Noisy, whose assisted spinning backsplash gets two.
Plata grabs Noisy from the apron though and a suicide dive cuts off Jr. on the floor. A double big boot gets two on Noisy, who rolls underneath a double clothesline and dives over to tag Jr. Noisy’s spinning super hurricanrana brings Plata down so Jr. adds a big running flip dive. Oro gets dropped with a poisonrana but Plata is back in to elbow Jr. Everyone is down…and here are Los Perros del Mal for the double DQ at 8:00.
Rating: B-. This was a weird choice for a main event but AAA can be a weird show at times. There’s nothing wrong with going in a different direction, though it felt like a matter of time until the real story took place. That’s not a bad thing either, as I wasn’t sure where the whole thing was going. At least we got some nice flips and dives in the meantime.
Post match the beatdown is on and Los Perros call out El Grande Americano. Cue Americano with Los Americanos but the three of them are beaten down as well. Dominik Mysterio runs in with a chair for the real save and issues the challenge for a tag match. JBL is stunned as Americano and Mysterio shake hands to end the show. This doesn’t sound logical for Americano but it’s a long way to TripleMania.
Overall Rating: B-. The point of this show was to set up some things for the future, with Verano de Escalando starting to come together. The good thing is that even those special shows aren’t overly long so there is only so much that needs to be done. As usual, this show didn’t wear out its welcome, which makes even the less important shows like this one easy to watch.
Results
Mini Vikingo b. Jack Cartwheel and Dragon Lee – 630 to Cartwheel
Money Machine vs. Noisy Boy/Epydemius Jr. went to a double DQ when Los Perros del Mal interfered

AAA On FOX – June 27, 2026: That’s Just How They Do It Here (Includes Full Show)
AAA On FOX
Date: June 27, 2026
Location: Foro GNP Seguro, Merida, Mexico
Commentators: Rey Mysterio, John Bradshaw Layfield, Corey Graves
The big story coming out of last week was the return of Los Perros del Mal, who reformed with a new lineup to attack El Grande Americano. That’s not going to go well for Americano, who is probably going to need some help. Either way, it feels almost impossible that he isn’t going after the Mega Title at TripleMania so he has some work to do. Let’s get to it.
The opening video looks at the return of Los Perros del Mal, who are here and don’t follow rules.
Opening sequence.
Here is Psycho Clown, so we recap the Psycho Circus being attacked by someone, who Clown thinks has been Pagano. Back in the arena, Psycho talks about how he is tired of all this and wants to know what is going on. He calls out the rest of the Psycho Circus but none of them know what happened.
Psycho calls out Pagano, who doesn’t show up. The Circus goes to find him…and find a bloody Pagano unconscious in his dressing room. Psycho, who had been swearing revenge during the search, immediately apologizes and begs forgiveness. Pagano wakes up to forgive him, but there is a message on the mirror saying Psycho is next. Interesting indeed.
The Copa Bardahl, a gauntlet elimination match, is returning at TripleMania. We look at Omos winning the most recent edition of the match in dominant fashion.
Galeno vs. Mecha Wolf
How nice of them to have a match almost halfway through the show! Wolf slugs away but gets sent into the corner for some fast clotheslines. Galeno misses a charge to send him outside, where he cuts off Wolf’s dive. Cue Dorian Roldan and Omos to watch as Wolf gets in a cheap shot on the distracted Galeno.
Wolf dropkicks him into the ropes for some running knees to the back but Galeno strikes away. A backsplash and powerbomb get two on Wolf as Galeno’s arm is banged up. Wolf grabs a springboard DDT to limited avail as Galeno blasts him with a clothesline. The cannonball hits Wolf but Galeno stops to glare at Omos. The Galeno Special finishes Wolf at 5:50.
Rating: C+. It’s almost weird to see Galeno treated as a giant but he’s doing a nice enough job of wrestling like one. That should set up a good match between Galeno and Omos, likely with the latter smashing through him. Wolf was little more than cannon fodder here but he did well in that spot.
We look back at a tag match at last year’s Verano de Escandalo with Los Garza winning the Tag Team Titles.
Rey Mysterio was surprised by Los Perros del Mal returning last week but now they have AAA’s attention. In addition, the former WWE World Champion will be here next week and Vikingo will be defending the Latin American Title in NXT. We also get a quick preview of next week’s show.
NXT Women’s Title: Lola Vice vs. La Hiedra
Vice is defending. Hiedra jumps her from behind to start fast and gets an early two off a Michinoku Driver. It’s quickly broken down into a brawl and they crash out to the floor with Hiedra possibly hurting her hip. Back in and Vice kicks away but walks into a spinebuster for two. Hiedra gets her in the corner for some running boots to the spread out thighs and we hit the seated abdominal stretch.
Vice fights up and they grab stereo running faceplants for a double down. Hiedra is knocked outside for a running seated senton, allowing Vice to get in some dancing. Back in and Hiedra hits a quick Stunner, setting up a wheelbarrow faceplant for two. The spinning backfist connects for Vice but here are Las Toxicas for the cheap shot. La Catalina runs in to even things up a bit and another spinning backfist retains the title at 7:42.
Rating: C+. This was a way to have an outside title on the line and that is a good way to spice the show up a bit. La Hiedra was never going to feel like a threat to win the title but Vice is an established name on this show and it was nice to see her getting in a title defense. It might not be the most important thing here but it was a nice treat for the live fans.
Post match Vice dances with La Catalina but Las Toxicas come in to jump them. Lady Shani runs in for a big return and the save to end the show.
Overall Rating: C+. I like the Psycho Circus/Pagano mystery and Galeno vs. Omos should work when it happens. At the same time though, this was another show where it felt like not much was really happening and that’s becoming a bit annoying. The good thing though is the show only runs about forty five minutes so one good segment getting about ten minutes is a big chunk of the show. It’s definitely a different style around here, but hopefully they start giving us a bit more on the weekly shows.
Results
Galeno b. Mecha Wolf – Galeno Special
Lola Vice b. La Hiedra – Spinning backfist

AAA On FOX – June 20, 2026: Bad Taste (Includes Full Show)
AAA On FOX
Date: June 20, 2026
Location: Foro GNP Seguros, Merida, Mexico
Commentators: Rey Mysterio, John Bradshaw Layfield, Corey Graves
After last week’s rather down show, we’re up for something a bit bigger here as both Mega Champion Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano are here. That should be enough to carry the show as we are on the long road to TripleMania. It should be interesting to see what is next for Americano after his star making performance last month so let’s get to it.
As usual various people arrive and I’m not sure why El Grande Americano is carrying a duck.
El Ojo vs. Mini Vikingo/El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr.
Dorian Roldan is here with El Ojo and for the sake of simplicity, we’ll go with “Vikingo” for El Hijo del Vikingo” and “Mini” for Mini Vikingo. Wagner books Vikingo down to start and a dropkick to the back of the head gets two. Vikingo goes to the eyes though and gets two off a rollup with his feet on the ropes. A rip at the Wagner’s mask just wakes Wagner up as he grabs a powerslam and hands it off to Mini.
The flipping and spinning abound but Vikingo gets in a knockdown to cut off the momentum. Omos comes in to choke Mini on the top rope and Roldan even gets in a cheap shot. Some surprisingly fast elbow drops crush Mini and it’s back to Vikingo, who gets taken down with a super hurricanrana. Wagner comes back in to clean house but Vikingo hits a running Meteora in the corner. Mini is back up with a springboard crucifix bomb for the fluke pin on Vikingo at 6:36.
Rating: C+. The shocked face from Mini is a great look and it was rather fascinating to see him be the kryptonite to a star like Vikingo. Odds are this sets him up for the big underdog title shot where Vikingo smashes him but that’s still a great boost for him. The match was also an impressive showing from Omos, who was moving out there in a way you don’t often see from him.
Post match El Ojo comes back in to clear the winners out and the beating is on. Omos grabs the steps but Galeno runs in for the failed save attempt.
Dominik Mysterio says that a lot of things have changed around here but he is still the Mega Champion. He is still the king of the luchadors and he is going to TripleMania.
Psycho Clown is walking in the back…and that’s it. I’m not sure if that was supposed to air at that point.
Video on Rey Fenix winning the Cruiserweight Title.
Cruiserweight Title: Lince Dorado vs. Laredo Kid vs. Rey Fenix
Fenix is defending. Kid snaps off some hurricanranas to take over early on and a Michinoku Driver gets two on Dorado. With Kid knocked down, Fenix rolls Dorado up for two but Kid is back up to pull Fenix outside. Kid’s big dive to the floor takes the other two down, followed by a corkscrew splash for two on Dorado. Back up and Dorado scratches Kid’s back into a Backstabber for two but Fenix is back in with a springboard armdrag.
Fenix is hits his running top rope kick to the head and a huge dive to the floor hits Dorado. Everyone gets back inside and Dorado rolls Fenix up for two. Kid hits a double running Blockbuster for a double two but Dorado is back up with a super hurricanrana to Fenix. Kid knocks Dorado into the announcers’ table but his frog splash hits Fenix’s raised knees. The Mexican MuscleBuster retains the title at 11:11.
Rating: B. This was a rather traditional three way cruiserweight match with everyone flying around and doing their thing to a rather entertaining degree. I’ll take that pretty much every time and it was fun to see them flying all over the place. Fenix gets his first defense in AAA down and it should make for the start of a long reign.
Rey Mysterio is backstage and congratulates Fenix on his win before saying that he is in talks for Fenix to defend his title in WWE. That’s not all though as next week, the NXT Women’s Title is on the line here as Lola Vice defends against La Hiedra. There has also been talks of bringing in a former WWE World Champion who has never wrestled here before but the deal is not official just yet. More on that next week.
Video on the mask vs. mask match between Los Grande Americanos which somehow exceeded expectations.
Here is El Grande Americano to a hero’s welcome and he takes a good while to get inside, as he has quite a few fans to greet. He is happy with his win as he showed everyone what AAA is all about but he didn’t do it alone. Americano thanks the fans and the people who helped him in the match. The people here lifted him up when he was down and this win was for them and all of the people in Mexico.
But what’s next? He has won Rey de Reyes and the mask, so now he wants the Mega Title. That brings him to Dominik Mysterio but here is NXT’s Karmen Petrovic of all people. Americano invites her in but here are a bunch of guys (including Daga, Los Garza and NXT’s Bronco Nima) to lay Americano out.
They all unzip their jackets to reveal Los Perros del Mal (a former heel stable who haven’t been around in eight or nine years) shirts to end the show. Americano’s welcome was great, though I’m not sure how big of a surprise it was that he wants the title that he earned a shot at by winning Rey de Reyes. Still though, this should tied him over until his big title win at TripleMania.
Overall Rating: C+. I liked the ending, but this was kind of a disappointing show overall. The big selling points here were the returns of Americano and Dominik Mysterio. While the former went fine, the latter was absolutely nothing and could have been done on any show. The matches were good but the Dominik thing felt like a bait and switch, as I kept waiting on him to actually show up and it was just nothing. It’s a good show for the most part but that one thing left a bad taste in my mouth.

AAA On FOX – May 30, 2026: The Grande One (Noche de Los Grandes Week One) (Includes Full Show)
AAA On FOX
Date: May 30, 2026
Location: Arena Monterrey, Monterrey, Mexico
Commentators: Rey Mysterio, John Bradshaw Layfield, Corey Graves
It’s the first week of Noche de Los Grandes and to say this is a big one would be an understatement, as we have the ultimate showdown in lucha libre: a mask vs. mask match. That’s the kind of thing that you do not see around here very often and the big story is El Grande Americano vs. the Original El Grande Americano with the masks on the line. That’s about all you need so let’s get to it.
The opening video looks at the importance of the mask and how much it means in lucha libre. Tonight, someone loses everything.
Cruiserweight Title: Laredo Kid vs. Rey Fenix
Fenix is challenging and dropkicks him into the corner at the bell. An early Mexican MuscleBuster is escaped and Kid grabs a quick powerbomb. A kick to the head puts Fenix down but he avoids a middle rope moonsault. Instead it’s a Michinoku Driver for two on Fenix, followed by a Texas Cloverleaf to stay on the back. With that not working, Kid unhooks the turnbuckle pad and avoids a charge into the post.
The Cloverleaf goes on again in the corner, setting up a curb stomp for two. Back up and Fenix hits some clotheslines to send him outside and of course that means a big dive. Fenix’s cross armbreaker sends Kid over to the rope and they chop it out. Fenix flips out of a tornado DDT and kicks him in the head, only to get caught with a running flipping DDT. That’s good for a rather delayed two, with Fenix’s rolling cutter gets a less delayed version of the same.
Another Mexican MuscleBuster is countered into a small package for two so Fenix tries a third time and gets a near fall of his own. The referee notices the exposed buckle and gets in the way, allowing Kid to get in a low blow. The frog splash hits Fenix for two but Fenix sends him into the exposed buckle, kicks him in the head, and grabs another Mexican MuscleBuster for the pin and the title at 11:53.
Rating: B. Build up a challenger against a longtime champion and have him win the title. That’s a classic story that has worked for the better part of ever in wrestling and it worked again here. Fenix finally gets some gold under the WWE umbrella and feels like a star in the profess. It came in a good match as well, which is always a nice bonus.
Post match Fenix gets to celebrate with his family in a nice moment.
Various celebrities and wrestlers are here.
We recap the Latin American Title match. El Hijo del Vikingo is getting a shot because he’s a big star and champion El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. doesn’t think Vikingo and his El Ojo knows much about family.
Latin American Title: El Hijo del Vikingo vs. El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr.
Vikingo, with Dorian Roldan, is challenging. Wagner dropkicks him into the corner at the bell (thankfully Graves points out that Fenix did the same thing in the opener) and snaps off a powerslam. They go to the apron, where a big boot puts Vikingo on the floor. Vikingo is right back up to put him on the steps for a double stomp and quite the crash.
A rather hard baseball slide knocks Wagner off the apron again and Vikingo hits a running shooting star from the apron. Back in and Wagner knees him down in the corner, setting up a running cannonball. The splash gives Wagner two but Vikingo’s crucifix driver leaves them both down.
Cue Omos to crotch Wagner on top though and Vikingo hits a running Meteora. The 450 gets two and here is Galeno, who is quickly knocked out by Omos. Galeno is back up with some chair shots to actually drop Omos and Mini Vikingo runs in with a springboard missile dropkick. Wagner plants Vikingo for two but Omos is back up to knock Wagner silly. The 630 gives Vikingo the pin and the title at 7:20.
Rating: B-. This was all about the interference and that made for a good story, as Vikingo and his family beat Wagner and his family. That’s how the story was set up and El Ojo needed a win of some kind as they haven’t meant much over the last few weeks. Wagner wasn’t doing much as champion either so this is a good move all around.

Tag Team Titles: War Raiders vs. Psycho Clown/Pagano
The Raiders are challenging and the challengers aren’t getting along very well. The Raiders miss a charge to the floor to start and get taken down by stereo flip dives. Back in and Erik gets double teamed down but comes back with some forearms, allowing Ivar to come in. A big dive takes out Clown on the floor and it’s back to Erik to hammer away. The chinlock goes on for a bit before it’s back to Ivar, who just hits Clown in the face.
Clown fights up and knocks Ivar away, allowing Erik and Pagano to come in. Pagano’s middle rope Codebreaker connects and everything breaks down. Something close to an Emerald Frosion gives Pagano two and it’s back to Clown to slug away on Ivar. A suicide dive hits Erik and a Canadian Destroyer gets two on Ivar. Clown adds a top rope splash for two with Erik having to make the save. Ivar fights up and Clown accidentally clotheslines Pagano. The pop up powerslam to Clown gives the Raiders the titles at 9:13.
Rating: B-. This was about putting the Raiders over as a pair of monsters as they have the WWE experience to make this feel even bigger. At the same time they had to do something to move the Pagano/Clown feud forward. We still don’t know who attacked the Psycho Circus (unless it was supposed to be the Raiders) and there is a good chance we’re going to see those two beat the fire out of each other. They had to drop the titles for that to happen and that was more than covered here.
Post match Pagano and Clown go at it until Pagano walks off, with the Raiders laying Clown out. Pagano teases going in for the ave but walks away.
Here is General Manager Rey Mysterio for a chat. Well not so much a chat as much as he sends us to a package on the main event. The video has a comic book theme and looks at the hero in El Grande Americano against his rival, who clearly doesn’t care about Mexico. That’s how this feud should go and there is a reason why the fans have gotten so far behind Americano. Tonight, one has to go away and that is in the form of a mask vs. mask match. This feels absolutely huge and has been one of the hottest feuds I’ve seen in a minute so well done all around.
El Grande American vs. Original El Grande Americano
Mask vs. Mask, no DQ and we’ll go with Americano and Original for their names. Original comes out to a mariachi band and the fans HATE him. American has his own band and comes out in a jacket saying FOR MEXICO (WELL POR BUT I THREW IN THE TRANSLATION) and is an absolute hero.
We get some Big Match Intros but Original grabs a guitar to knock Americano silly before the bell. Original knocks him around but gets punched into the corner, with a suplex bringing Original right back out of it. The suicide dive hits Original, who is right back with a backdrop. A Death Valley Driver plants Original on the floor though and it’s time for a table. Original tackles him for a save and Americano is sent into the steps.
Something like a reverse Angle Slam drops American on to the floor for two back inside and Original is already frustrated. Original starts ripping at the mask, earning himself an Air Raid Crash from the apron through the table at ringside. Americano spends too much time celebrating though and gets German suplexed on the floor. Back up and Original throws a chair at a barricade, with Americano being knocked down off the crash.
They go back inside with Americano busted open and Original pounding on the cut. A suplex gives Original two and a top rope belly to back superplex drops Americano hard. Another slugout goes to Americano, who runs the ropes and flips over for a Blockbuster. Americano rips at Original’s mask and drops him face first onto the steps. They get back inside so Americano can hammer away and load up a chair in the corner. That takes too long (a trend) and Original gives him a German suplex.
Americano is back up but here are Los Hermanos Americanos to put him through the announcers’ table. A Swan Dive gives Original two so here are Los Americanos to go after Los Hermanos. Bravo hits a big dive from the stands to take the other three out and the fans rather approve again. Back at ringside, Original goes after a blind comedian (who was involved in the feud before) but gets Blockbustered off the apron.
One of the musicians hits Original with a guitar and unmasks as Pimpinela Escarlata. Original is up again at two so let’s get a bullrope. A low blow cuts Americano off and Original whips him with the bullrope, followed by a stomp onto a chair. Cue the former announcer (and Americano’s girlfriend) to cheerlead in the crowd. Original yells at her but she has a ticket, which is enough of a distraction for Americano to come back. A DDT onto the chair gives Americano two so they slug it out again.
Original suplexes him into the corner and hits a moonsault for another near fall. The frustrated Original grabs a chair and unloads on Americano’s ankle, setting up the ankle lock. That’s reversed into the knee in the back choke, which is reversed back into the ankle lock. Americano somehow reverses into a suplex but the ankle gives out again, allowing Original to grab Rolling Chaos Theory for two more. Original’s charge hits the post though and the running headbutt finally gives Americano the pin at 33:20.
Rating: A-. I mean…dang man. This was presented as the ultimate battle between these two and that’s pretty much exactly what we got. It felt like neither of them would allow themselves to lose and Original finally fell in the end. They had a heck of a fight and Americano looks like an absolute hero in the biggest match AAA has had since it came under the WWE banner. Awesome stuff here and it actually lived up to the hype.
Post match everyone gets in the ring and Original says he started on this path to learn everything about lucha libre and beat all of the luchadors. He learned about Mexico and its culture along the way but tonight, he could not overcome the Mexican spirit. From now on, even though he is the original, there is only one Grande Americano.
And he unmasks as Chad Gable, with the point of course being the removal of the mask rather than the identity. He talks about his career and introduces his family before promising to be back in AAA. Gable hands the mask to Americano and leaves to a fairly positive reaction, as the fans appreciate Gable being a man in defeat. Americano celebrates for a good while and leaves to end the show.
Overall Rating: A-. What more do you want out of a show like this? Nothing was close to bad, they changed three titles, and had the huge showdown with a great moment to close it out. I had a great time with this and it absolutely flew by. This was every bit of the hype you could have wanted and I had a blast watching them pay a bunch of stuff off. If you don’t watch AAA, give it a shot with this one, as you’ll have a fun time.

AAA On FOX – May 16, 2026: Keep Them Going (Includes Full Show)
AAA On FOX
Date: May 16, 2026
Location: Auditorio General Jose Maria Arteaga, Queretaro, Mexico
Commentators: Corey Graves, Rey Mysterio, John Bradshaw Layfield
We’re two weeks away from Noche de los Grandes and the likely main event is set, with the battle of the Grande Americanos. Other than that, we have the issues between Pagano and Psycho Clown, both among themselves and with the War Raiders. That could go in a variety of directions so let’s get to it.
Tokyo Bad Boys vs. Money Machine vs. La Parka/Mr. Iguana vs. NGD
The Boys are Kento/Takuma, Machine is Oro/Plata and NGD are Forastero/Sanson. Oro and Sanson start things off with an exchange of arm cranking until Sanson takes over. Forastero comes in for a triangle choke but Oro manages a hurricanrana to escape. Plata comes in and gets superkicked down but Takuma tags himself in. The Boys double hiptoss Plata but Iguana comes in for a running hurricanrana.
Parka launches Takuma into the air for a big crash but he’s right back with a tornado DDT to put Parka down. Everything breaks down (yep) and Parka gets double teamed but Money Machine is up with some dives to the floor. Takuma hits a big corkscrew dive and Parka follows with a middle rope moonsault. Iguana comes back in with the stuffed iguana, which is used to pull him face first into the buckle. A hurricanrana gives Iguana two and Parka is back in with a springboard crossbody to Forastero. The Bone Breaker finishes for Parka at 10:09.
Rating: B-. You knew what you were going to get with this match and that’s not a bad thing. There were a lot of people flying around and it made for a bit of a mess, but that’s all this was supposed to be. The flips and dives were entertaining and the fans are still into Iguana so it was pretty much a layup. An athletic layup mind you but a layup.
Post match the War Raiders come in and wreck people.
Dorian Roldan can’t get a meeting with his mom about being the new GM, but does find Texano Jr. who basically tells him to scram.
TripleMania will be a two night event. First night’s location still to be announced.
We look at Rey Fenix beating Laredo Kid two weeks ago.
Post match, Fenix said the fans loved that and wanted another shot at the title. Kid called him jealous of Penta, but Fenix said he was proud of his brother. Anyway, the title match is set for next week.
Galeno vs. Drago/Chris Carter
Galeno runs them both over for daring to double team him to start and throws them outside. Back in and Galeno backdrops Drago over the top and punches him in the face on the way down (that was awesome). Cue Omos to watch as the Galeno Special (kind of a spike double arm DDT) is enough for the double pin. Galeno looked good here and that backdrop punch was great.
We look at last week’s brawl with Bayley and Lola Vice saving La Catalina from Las Toxicas.
The six woman tag is set for Noche de los Grandes.
Cibernetico wants to be GM and Dorian Roldan is nervous.
Creed Brothers vs. El Fiscal/Aerostar
Julius takes over on Fiscal to start but Fiscal takes over on Brutus’ arm. Aerostar does the same and gets gorilla pressed into a splash onto Brutus for two. It’s back to Julius, who gets knocked to the floor and the Creeds get to catch a diving Aerostar. They also slam him onto the apron for a huge crash and Brutus steps on Aerostar’s head back inside.
The neck crank doesn’t last long so it’s back to Brutus for a hard shot to the face. The referee has to check on Aerostar, who flips out of a belly to back suplex and gets over to Fiscal to fight back. Fiscal sends the Creeds outside for a big dive and Aerostar hits a springboard dive of his own. Back in and Aerostar gets caught in the ropes, meaning it’s a powerbomb into an ankle lock for the quick tap at 7:20.
Rating: C+. This was a bit more like a regular tag match, as the Creed Brothers got to actually have some success for a change. They’re not exactly the best team on the main roster, but at least they have something to do here at the moment. If nothing else, they’re worth having around for the sake of offering a different style around here and that should serve them well.
Post match the beatdown is on until Los Americanos run in for the save. The Original El Grande Americano runs in to go after Bravo’s mask but El Grande Americano runs in for the save. Well kind of, as he can’t touch Original and has to wait for Rayo to jump Original, allowing Americano to go after the Creeds. Original calls this his house (the fans approve) and the match is going to be about Mexican pride. The match is going to have to work, but Americano’s work building this up has been excellent.
Overall Rating: B. The best thing I can say about this show is it has me wanting to see Noche de los Grandes. They’ve built up the main event very well and the six woman tag should be good. As usual, this show flies by and it has me wanting to see where things go next. Solid effort here, with more than enough stories that I want to see keep going to call it a success.

AAA On FOX – May 9, 2026: Clown Town? (Includes Full Video)
AAA On FOX
Date: May 9, 2026
Location: Auditorio General Jose Maria Arteaga, Queretaro, Mexico
Commentators: Corey Graves, Rey Mysterio, John Bradshaw Layfield
The focus is on the tag division here as we have the face to face showdown between Pagano and Psycho Clown. This comes after someone has been going after the Psycho Circus and Clown thinks Pagano has been behind the whole thing. I’m not sure where that is going but it is quite the story. Let’s get to it.
They circle each other to start and we get a triple (Or is it double?) headlock. Dorado is sent outside so Octagon kicks del Toro in the head. Del Toro is back with a kick to the head of his own and a Prism Trap with a bodyscissors goes on. Dorado comes back in for the save but gets punched by del Toro.
With del Toro sent outside, Dorado hits an Asai moonsault into a cross armbreaker back inside. Octagon is back in with a springboard hurricanrana but del Toro pulls him outside. Dorado is taken out as well but Octagon is up with a dive onto del Toro. Back in and Octagon hits a slingshot hilo to del Toro but Dorado pulls him outside.
Dorado and Octagon slug it out until Dorado hits a handspring Stunner. They all trade kicks to the head until Octagon gives del Toro a super flipping World’s Strongest Slam. Del Toro is back up with a Coast To Coast to Octagon but Dorado breaks it up with a shooting star press. A brainbuster to del Toro gives Dorado the pin at 9:38.
Rating: B. This was the kind of match that was hardly making things complicated, as it was all about three people getting in as much as they could in about ten minutes. I’m not sure if this is going to go anywhere from here but Dorado looked rather good here. Then again so did the other two, making for a rather entertaining opener.
Chessman goes to see about the GM position but runs into Dorian Roldan. While Roldan doesn’t think Chessman should waste his time, Chessman blows him off and heads into the office.
La Catalina vs. Jessy Jackson
Hold on though as here is Flammer to watch at ringside. Jackson’s early wristlock doesn’t work as Catalina rides her on the mat and snaps off some armdrags. A running dropkick sends Jackson outside for a running flip dive off the apron. Back in and Catalina misses a shot and gets caught with a dropkick against the ropes.
Jackson chops away in the corner but Catalina dropkicks her into another corner. The running hip attack gets two and a running knee drops Jackson again. Jackson is right back with the running knees in the corner for two but Catalina hip attacks her in the ropes. A spinning top rope splash finishes Jackson at 7:34.
Rating: C. I wasn’t sold on this one, as Catalina is certainly the next big hope to stop Flammer’s reign, but it doesn’t do much good when it took her seven and a half minutes to beat someone who I don’t believe has actually been on this show before. Catalina is talented but she didn’t really look dominant here. The women’s division has been kind of a weak spot for AAA since I started watching and this wasn’t doing much to change that.
Post match Catalina and Flammer have a staredown until Las Toxicas run in for the beatdown. Lola Vice makes a failed save attempt but Bayley runs in for the real save.
We look at Galeno del Mal and El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. taking out Omos last week.
We look at last week’s Grande Americano contract signing and post match attack from the Creed Brothers.
We recap the Psycho Circus being attacked over the last few months. Psycho Clown thinks Pagano might have done it, despite the two of them being Tag Team Champions.
Psycho is in the ring and says this is why he is here tonight. He wants answers and wants to see Pagano face to face. Pagano comes down and Psycho says their brothers have been taken out one by one. Psycho found a Pagano bandanna next to Murder Clown and his heart is broken. What is going on here?
Pagano talks about everything they have done together and now Psycho is accusing him of attacking his own brothers? This is a game and Pagano understands why Psycho thinks he did it. Psycho needs to take a look in the mirror though, because it wasn’t Pagano. He isn’t the kind of person who would turn his back on his family.
Psycho doesn’t seem convinced but leaves, with Pagano yelling at him to stop. Pagano says Psycho will find out that it wasn’t him but here are the War Raiders to jump Psycho. Pagano makes the save and they leave separately, with commentary suggesting that Psycho might have done it (which Pagano may have suggested) to end the show.
Overall Rating: C+. The big showdown at the end was the featured attraction here and that went pretty well. The best thing I can say about the Psycho/Pagano story is I don’t know who is behind the attacks and I want to find out. I’d call that good storytelling, which is a nice feature to go with the fast paced opener. Not a great show here, but the big story went well.

AAA On FOX
Date: April 18, 2026
Location: Gimnasio Olimpico Juan de la Barrera, Mexico City, Mexico
Commentators: Jose Manuel Guillen, Roberto Figueroa
We’re back to Mexico but in this case the commentary is in Spanish as WWE didn’t upload the show to their YouTube channel (likely due to a case of Wrestlemania). There is no telling what we’ll get around here, but the show has been one of the more consistently entertaining series in recent months so hopefully that continues. Let’s get to it.
Dorado knocks both of them down to start and backbreakers Aerostar for two. Aerostar is sent outside but comes back in for a double superkick to Dorado. Wilde sends Dorado into a DDT from Aerostar, who gets taken down with a neckbreaker. Back up and Aerostar is sent outside for a heck of a flip dive from Dorado but Wilde takes both of them out with an even bigger dive.
Back in and Wilde poses on Aerostar and gets his picture taken until Dorado breaks it up. Dorado is sent outside and Wilde superkicks Aerostar, who catches Wilde on top. A powerbomb out of the corner gives Wilde two, with Dorado shooting starring in for the save. Aerostar knocks Dorado outside for a suicide dive and then takes Wilde out as well. Back in and Aerostar gives Dorado a rolling cutter but Dorado rolls through a super hurricanrana for the pin at 7:05.
Rating: B. This was, pardon the expression, total nonstop action and that’s what the match should have been. It was a case where any of the three winning would have been fine, though Dorado is probably the biggest name out of the three. Good opener here as they certainly started the show fast.
The War Raiders and Psycho Circus get in a fight before tonight’s main event.
Dorian Roldan appeals to his mother about Mini Vikingo costing El Hijo del Vikingo the Intercontinental Title last week. Things have been insane and the company has no leadership so he should be the new GM. She wants a week to think about it.
Mixed Tag Team Titles: Dinamico/La Hiedra vs. Mr. Iguana/Lola Vice
Iguana and Vice are defending. Dinamico isn’t sure what to make of the stuffed iguana and Iguana flipping around and having a seat makes it worse. It’s quickly off to the women with Hiedra working on the arm but getting pulled into an armbar. Hiedra pops up and shakes her hips, only to get pulled into a cross armbreaker. Iguana gets the same thing on Dinamico but both of them are broken up.
Iguana is sent into the corner for a running hip attack and Hiedra gives Vice something like Shattered Dreams. The fans react to Hiedra giving Vice a spank but Vice is right back with a suplex. Iguana comes back in for a big spinning headscissors on Dinamico, who is right back with a running cutter. It’s back to Vice, who gives Dinamico the running hip attack but gets rolled up to give Hiedra two. Vice kicks Hiedra in the face, leaving Dinamico to powerbomb Iguana for two. Iguana gets caught in an electric chair but spins out into a DDT to retain at 7:57.
Rating: C+. There was a lot going on here but these titles are hardly the most serious thing in the world. It’s fine to see something like this, with a bunch of comedy spots and the fans mainly there for Iguana and Vice’s shtick. You could do just about anything here and it would have been fine, which was on display with this one.
We look back at the battle of the Americanos last week, with the mask vs. mask match being set.
El Grande Americano talks about how what he said at Rey de Reyes came from the heart. El Texano is with him and says all the titles and accomplishments mean nothing if you won’t fight. Americano is ready to fight and Texano respects him for accepting the mask vs. mask match. They seem ready to team up.
Here’s what’s coming next week.
We look at the Psycho Circus vs. the Viking Raiders at Rey de Reyes with the match ending in a double DQ.
Ivar vs. Psycho Clown
They start fast with an exchange of clotheslines in the corner until Clown takes over. Clown knocks him outside and hits a big suicide dive but Ivar is back up with a Tour Of The Islands. Clown’s comeback is cut off by Ivar sitting on him out of the corner but Clown knocks him down again. A split legged moonsault gives Clown two and he hits a running corner boot.
Ivar spinebusters him out of the air but misses the Doomsault. That’s shrugged off and Ivar kicks him in the face, followed by a tiger bomb for two more. Clown fights out of a superplex attempt and hits a sunset bomb, followed by a Code Red for another near fall. The referee gets bumped so Clown’s Samoan drop doesn’t get a count. Cue Erik to lay Clown out and a double powerbomb gives Ivar the pin at 8:43.
Rating: B. This was two big men hitting each other really hard until…well until it took a bonus big man to cause the pin. That’s all this was supposed to be and since we haven’t seen anything close to it on the show, it stood out that much more. I liked this a good big and it was a rather fun way to wrap up the show.
Post match Pagano runs in for the late save. The Raiders leave and Clown yells at Pagano for not being there. They keep arguing to the back and violence seems likely but they go different ways. Clown finds Murder Clown attacked with a Pagano shirt to end the show.
Overall Rating: B. This show continues to be simple, easy to follow, and entertaining. Part of that is due to it not taking up too much time every week, but I have more fun watching this show than just about anything else. I’m glad to see it finding its groove while giving some WWE stars something to do. Another good show this week with above average wrestling.

AAA On FOX – April 11, 2026: The Fans Like It (Includes Full Show)
AAA On FOX
Date: April 11, 2026
Location: Gimnasio Olimpico Juan de la Barrera, Mexico City, Mexico
Commentators: Corey Graves, Rey Mysterio, John Bradshaw Layfield
We’re back to a fresh show after last week’s taped post-Rey de Reyes event. This week is big enough, as we have Flammer’s Reina de Reinas celebration, but the bigger deal is Penta defending the Intercontinental Title for the first time in AAA. That’s quite the big deal and that has me interested so let’s get to it.
We’re starting with Flammer’s record setting Reina de Reinas celebration, with the other members of Las Toxicas handling her introduction. We get a video on her title reign, with various comments from celebrities/wrestlers praising the accomplishments. Back in the arena, Flammer says she doesn’t know these people but they’re beneath her.
She beat Bayley and others, but she also wants to thank the Mexican women she stepped on to get here. She has beaten everyone and her coronation will never end. We cut to a pink car and La Catalina is here. This gets quite the reaction and she praises Flammer, but says Flammer has never faced someone like her. Flammer is sent into the cake and gets cleared out as Catalina looks at the title. Catalina was in CMLL as of about two weeks ago so this is quite the fast turnaround.
Octagon vs. Original El Grande Americano
They trade legsweeps and get a near fall each until Americano chops him into the corner. Octagon climbs the corner for a dropkick and nails the suicide dive to the floor. An Asai moonsault misses though and Americano hits a running shoulder. Back in and Americano teases going after the mask but Octagon gives him an enziguri. Something like a top rope Vader Bomb hits raised boots and Americano suplexes him into the corner. Americano misses the moonsault but ties up the legs and takes off Octagon’s mask. The ankle lock makes Octagon tap at 5:28.
Rating: C+. They only had so much time here and the bigger deal was Americano going after the mask. That’s quite the big deal in lucha libre and Rey Mysterio was NOT cool with it on commentary. At the same time, this seems like a setup for the mask vs. mask match with the other El Grande Americano and that should be good.
Post match some singers are interviewed by Americano goes after them. He goes after the interviewer as well and here is El Grande Americano for the brawl. Security can only keep them apart for so long as the fans certainly approve.
Intercontinental Title: El Hijo del Vikingo vs. Penta
Vikingo, with Dorian Roldan, is challenging. They trade poses to start until Vikingo has to elbow his way out of a waistlock. Penta kicks him in the ribs to break up a handstand but Viking grabs a headscissors out to the floor. Vikingo’s dive is cut off with a gorilla press onto the announcers’ table but he hits a dropkick off of said table to put Penta down again.
Back in and Penta gets superkicked for two and Vikingo bites Penta’s boot. Penta is right back up with a reverse Sling Blade as the fans are way into this. The Penta Driver is blocked and Vikingo ties him in the ropes for a top rope double stomp. They forearm it out from their knees and then their feet until Penta’s dropkick breaks up a handspring. Vikingo sends him into the corner for the running knees but the inverted 450 is countered into a powerbomb for two (sweet).
They head out to the apron for the exchange of chops until Vikingo snaps off a poisonrana. A running shooting star hits Penta again but here are the battling Americanos again. Penta uses the distraction to hit a dive and a Penta Driver gets two. Roldan pulls Penta’s leg and gets ejected but Vikingo grabs the belt. Cue Mini Vikingo to to take it away though, allowing Penta to hit the springboard Mexican Destroyer to retain at 13:39.
Rating: B. They had a hot match here, which shouldn’t be a surprise whatsoever. As you might have guessed, this was much more about getting the title on a AAA show rather than having the title be in any kind of jeopardy. That’s perfectly fine as Vikingo is a big deal and this checked pretty much all of the necessary boxes.
Post match the Vikingos stare at each other again but here are Los Americanos to keep up their brawl on the floor. They head inside and break away from security but are finally held apart. Americano says this has to end and it should be eye for eye, tooth for tooth and mask vs. mask. Original seemed to be in to wrap things up.
Overall Rating: B-. This was more of an angle heavy show with the Americanos stuff getting some red hot crowd reactions. The main event was good and the Flammer/Catalina stuff served its purpose. This show wasn’t so much about what was happening here but rather what it was setting up, which is a fine way to go every so often. Good enough show here, with the crowd going nuts over the Americanos stuff.

Original El Grande Americano b. Octagon – Ankle lock
