We’re closing in on Heroes Inmoretales and the card hasn’t even started to come together. That’s going to need some work and there is a good chance we could see it start here. If nothing else, it would be nice to get back to a regular show now that we’re well clear of TripleMania. Let’s get to it.

Here are last week’s results if you need a recap.

Here is El Grande Americano for the first time as Mega Champion. Americano talks about making history together and he has a big announcement but here is El Ojo to interrupt. Dorian Roldan is here on behalf of his family and wants to talk to Rey Mysterio right now. Cue Rey, who says we can finally have a Mega Champion to be proud of around here. Roldan brings up Rey making a fast count at TripleMania and not being the assigned referee.

Rey says he is the General Manager but Roldan wants the decision reversed and the title returned to Dominik. Americano interrupts and wants a tag match against El Ojo tonight. He’ll sweeten the pot too: if El Ojo wins, Dominik gets a title shot at Heroes Inmoretales, but if they lose, Dominik never gets another shot at Americano. Game on.

Last week, Mr. Iguana challenge La Parka for the Latin American Title.

Latin American Title: Mr. Iguana vs. La Parka

Parka is defending. They shake hands to start and feel each other out to start, with Parka pulling him into a quickly broken surfboard. More grappling lets Iguana get two off a rollup so Parka flips away from him. Back up and Iguana gets in a running dropkick so Parka kicks him to the floor. Naturally that means a suicide dive but Iguana is right back with a running hurricanrana off of the steps.

Iguana grabs a cross armbreaker back inside, which doesn’t last long either. They head outside again where Iguana goes for the title but Parka one ups him by going for Yesca. That means a big exchange of chops on the floor, followed by the exchange of forearms back inside. A crucifix driver gets two on Parka but he catches Iguana on top with a super Spanish Fly. They clothesline each other down…and Los Perros del Mal run in to jump both of them for the double DQ at 9:24.

Rating: B-. As usual there were some good spots in here with Iguana showing that he is more than just a guy who does weird things. At the same time, it’s WAY too early for Parka to lose the title, even to someone like Iguana. I’m assuming the two of them will get together to fight Los Perros and that could be interesting.

Post match the beatdown is on Nino Hamburguesa runs in for the save.

El Grande Americano/Rey Mysterio vs. El Ojo

Rey and Dominik start things off and take their sweet time before locking up. An early sunset flip gives Rey two and he faceplants Dominik. Americano comes in for a PK and then the ten punches in the corner. A running kick to the face staggers Dominik and unfortunately it’s off to Omos to elbow Americano into the corner. Somehow Americano manages a triangle choke over the ropes, with Dominik quickly breaking it up.

Back in and Americano gets beaten down by the villains, including Omos cranking on the arms (JBL: “What’s he going to do? Tap out with his eyebrows?”). That’s broken up so Dominik gets in a cheap shot from the apron, only for Omos to miss an elbow. Rey comes back in and JBL knows what it means when Rey gets momentum going. The double 619 is loaded up but Americano has to save Rey from a chokeslam.

That means Omos’ arms are tied in the ropes but Dominik is back in. Americano gives him a rope walk Blockbuster so Omos splashes Americano against the post. Some 619s stagger Omos though and Rey springboard seated sentons him through the announcers’ table (with JBL talking about how glad he is that it’s the Spanish announce table, even in Mexico). Back up and Dominik pulls Rey’s mask off, followed by a belt shot to Americano for the pin at 12:20.

Rating: B. This was exactly what it needed to be, with the result setting up pretty much the only viable option for the title shot. Dominik getting one more crack at Americano makes sense, and having Dominik take out both heroes pretty much on his own in the end helped. Omos was his usual impressive monster self here and it went about as well as could be expected.

Post match Dominik poses with the mask and the title to end the show.

Overall Rating: B-. This is just kind of how AAA TV works, with only one or two stories throughout the show and they take their time getting to them. The good thing is that we have a Heroes Inmortales main event, plus some other things being set up. As usual, it really helps that the show is only about an hour long so they don’t overstay their welcome. Couple that with getting things done and this is still one of the easiest shows to watch every week.

TripleMania XXXIV Night Two
Date: September 13, 2026
Location: Arena CDMX, Mexico City, Mexico
Commentators: John Bradshaw Layfield, Corey Graves

We’re back after taking Saturday off and the show is down in Mexico City and hopefully things pick up a bit here. The card is certainly stacked enough four title matches, including Dominik Mysterio defending the Mega Title against El Grande Americano. AAA has the potential to do something good here so let’s get to it.

Here is Night One if you need a recap.

The opening video looks at how everything came together on the first night, with the two countries coming together. But now they’re back home and we get to see what happens next. Tonight, they take over Mexico City and show the world where lucha libre comes from.

La Copa Bardahl

This is basically a Royal Rumble (intervals unclear) with pins, submissions or over the top for eliminations. Mr. Iguana is in at #1 and Abismo Negro Jr. is in at #2 with Iguana escaping a gorilla press and spinning around into a hurricanrana. The cross armbar has Abismo in trouble and Histeria (Abismo’s stablemate) is in at #3 (meaning intervals are at about 1:10, at least to start). Iguana gets beaten down and can only crawl so far away until Mascarita Sagrada is in at #4.

Sagrada hits a quick faceplant on Abismo and Iguana is up to whip people with Yesica. That doesn’t last long though as Taurus (also part of Los Vipers, along with Abismo and Histeria) is in at #5. The double teaming is on and a double powerbomb plants Iguana, with Abismo adding a top rope double stomp, which looked a bit low. Sagrada tries to go after all of Los Vipers and it goes as well as expected until El Fiscal is in at #6. Fiscal clotheslines Abismo out for the first elimination but Abismo comes back in to toss him out as well. The two of them brawl off and Laredo Kid is in at #7.

Kid gets to quickly clean house, including drivering Sagrada. Iguana slugs it out with Kid until Mecha Wolf is in at #8. That means Wolf gets to clean house, including planting Sagrada onto Iguana for two as the ring is getting full. La Parka is in at #9 and Bone Breakers Hysteria out before staring at Iguana. El Mesias is in at #10 and you can tell things are getting serious. Mesias gets to throw people around, including Sagrada (which JBL finds hilarious) before getting into a staredown with Wolf.

Dinamico is in at #11 and mostly misses a running knee to Parka before not being able to get the cover either. A springboard cutter hits Wolf, who sprays Dinamico with the mist so Mesias can hit a spear for the pin. Texano Jr. is in at #12 and powers people around before slugging it out with his old rival Mesias. They go towards the ropes but Omos is in at #13, with JBL suggesting that a bunch of people eliminate themselves like Mil Mascaras did at the 1996 Royal Rumble. I’d recommend that JBL brush up on his Royal Rumble history as it was 1997 but instead we get Sagrada going after Omos.

With that not working, Omos throws out Kid, Texano and Mesias before chokeslamming Wolf for a pin. Parka is thrown out as well and Omos does Parka’s dance as he waits on anyone to come after him. Chris Carter is in at #14 and, after taking forever to get inside, is quickly eliminated by Omos. Nino Hamburguesa is in at #15 and gets in a few splashes before being knocked down. Iguana is tossed but Sagrada actually jumps onto Omos’ back to send him to the apron. That’s it though as Omos gets up, tosses Sagrada and then Hamburguesa for the win (Omos’ second in a row of this match) at 22:40.

Rating: C. This was pretty mediocre stuff and really nothing more than a way to get people on the card. That’s perfectly fine, but they would have been better off by just having this as a regular battle royal and cutting off some of the time. Omos winning as a monster is the right choice, as he can get some mileage out of winning the main event of Night One and the opener of Night Two. Everyone else was fine, but this was all about Omos.

We recap La Catalina challenging Flammer for the Reina de Reinas title. Catalina is a newcomer and has been a success elsewhere, but Flammer has been champion for years, making it rather difficult to take the title from her.

Reina de Reinas Title: Flammer vs. La Catalina

Flammer is defending and they shove each other a bit to start. Catalina runs her over with a shoulder but it’s Flammer coming back to take over rather quickly. A double arm crank has Catalina in trouble but she powers out of a front facelock. Catalina…mostly misses a running hip attack to knock Flammer outside, where a spear has better effect. Back in and Catalina knocks Flammer down for two more as frustration is already setting in.

Flammer fights back up with a spinning Angel’s Wings for two of her own, meaning the frustration is mutual. A big boot and sitout powerbomb out of the corner give Flammer two but she misses a Swanton. Catalina hits a top rope splash for two, even with Flammer only partially getting her knees up. Back up and Flammer sends her into the ropes for a running dropkick, sending Catalina crashing to the floor. They get back inside and Flammer looks back for La Hiedra, allowing Catalina to knock her off the top. The running hip attack and running knee give Catalina the pin and the title at 10:23.

Rating: C-. This wasn’t very good, with a bunch of stuff missing and Catalina just coming back to win in the end. Flammer looking for La Hiedra but getting no one is an interesting way to go, but the match to get there wasn’t the best. The women’s division has been a weak spot for AAA since WWE took things over and that doesn’t seem to be getting much better. They just seem to need more polish, which isn’t going to happen without more reps.

We recap El Carnicero vs. Psycho Clown. Carnicero has been attacking the Psycho Circus (at least we think) for several months and finally revealed himself. Now Clown is fighting for his team’s honor in a street fight.

El Carnicero vs. Psycho Clown

Street fight but as Clown makes his entrance, Carnicero beats up some of the production team. Clown goes after him for the save but gets booted in the face for his effort. They get inside with Carnicero busting out some weapons, only to get booted out to the floor. Clown’s dive is cut off with a trashcan to the head, meaning Carnicero can chair Clown down. Clown is right back up with some chair shots of his own and of course it’s time for a table.

That earns Clown a right hand to knock the chair out of his hand but Carnicero misses a charge into the chair in the corner. A top rope splash puts Carnicero through the table for a rather delayed two so they slug it out from their knees. Clown rips his face off and gets a trashcan booted into his jaw for his efforts. Carnicero knocks him into the ropes with Clown’s arms getting tied up so it’s time for a toolbox. Cue the returning Pagano, who turns on Clown, which isn’t overly surprising from someone named The Proud Sinner. Anyway Carnicero hits Clown in the head with the toolbox for the pin at 8:16.

Rating: B-. It was a fun brawl and having Pagano being the one seemingly behind the whole thing makes sense. If nothing else, the Circus can fight against these two for months. Carnicero is a freaky looking guy and felt like some kind of a swamp monster so he’s a great choice for the one who might take the team apart. It was a nice enough brawl, but the big ending reveal was the important part.

El Ojo is ready for the main event and Dominik Mysterio doesn’t care where his father is. Dorian Roldan is ready to induct his mother into the Hall Of Fame and is glad that things are going to go so badly for El Grande Americano.

We recap Rey Fenix defending the Cruiserweight Title against three challengers. They all impressed Fenix so they’re all getting a shot.

Octagon Jr. is here, thankfully walking after his horrible neck injury.

Cruiserweight Title: Jack Cartwheel vs. Mini Vikingo vs. Nathan Frazer vs. Rey Fenix

Fenix is defending. They trade the rapid fire rollups for two each to start and Cartwheel grabs a flipping neckbreaker. The spinning hilo gives Cartwheel two on Frazer and the two of them fight to the floor. Vikingo flips over Fenix into a sunset bomb for two, followed by the corkscrew dive to the floor. Back in and Fenix hits a double cutter on Cartwheel and Frazer before kicking the fire out of Vikingo.

A top rope moonsault press gets two on Frazer, who runs the corner for a super Spanish Fly to Fenix. Frazer goes up again and gets German superplexed down by Fenix, who charges into a superkick for two more. Cartwheel is back up to tie Frazer up for two and pulls Fenix off the top. Vikingo is back up with a super crucifix driver to Fenix and Cartwheel’s top rope corkscrew moonsault gets two on Frazer to leave everyone down. They all get up, strike each other a bit, and then all get knocked down again.

Fenix is up with a Mexican MuscleBuster to Cartwheel but Vikingo shooting stars in for the save. Fenix loads up a super Mexican MuscleBuster on Vikingo, which is turned into a Tower Of Doom. Frazer drops the phoenix splash for two on Fenix and everyone is down. Cartwheel is back up with a Sasuke Special to Vikingo and Jack’s Arrow hits Frazer for two. Fenix takes Cartwheel out and Vikingo sends Fenix to the floor before diving onto Cartwheel. Back in and Fenix hits a quick Mexican MuscleBuster to pin Vikingo and retain at 14:14.

Rating: A-. This was the crazy spot fest that you knew it would be and it worked as well as you probably expected. The idea here is to just go nuts with all of the flips and dives and great timing imaginable and it worked like a charm. These guys know what they’re doing and it’s pure adrenaline and energy all match. Just have one or so of these a show and it’s going to keep working.

Post match here are Los Perros del Mal (with their original music) to take out all four of them. The fans are VERY happy with this and cheer them on rather enthusiastically.

Tag Team Titles: War Raiders vs. ???

Open challenge with the Raiders defending against….the Wagner Brothers. Wagner jumps over Erik to start and knocks him down before enziguring Ivar. Back up and Wagner is sent outside and knocked down by Ivar, followed by a heck of a knee for two back inside. A throw gets Wagner out of trouble and it’s off to Galeno for the clotheslines in the corner. Ivar knocks him right back down for the Doomsault and a near fall but Galeno is up with more clotheslines. Wagner is back in as everything breaks down, with Galeno hitting a dive. The Wagner Driver and a top rope splash from Galeno gives us new champions at 5:51.

Rating: C+. They didn’t have much time here but this felt like a “the home team wins something on the big night” match. That’s perfectly fine as the Raiders never felt like much more than monsters to be vanquished anyway. The Brothers are a big enough deal in AAA so let them see what they can do as champions.

Stephanie Vaquer won the Raw Women’s Title at a house show in Chile over the weekend.

We recap Dominik Mysterio defending the Mega Title against El Grande Americano. Mysterio has been champion for over a year and Americano has taken the promotion by storm, especially with his mask vs. mask match against the Original El Grande Americano. They teamed together for a bit and Mysterio turned on him to make it even more personal. Now it’s time for Americano to take everything as the top star in the promotion, or at least try.

AAA Mega Title: Dominik Mysterio vs. El Grande Americano

Mysterio, with El Ojo, is defending and it’s No DQ, while Americano is coming in with bad ribs. Americano dropkicks him in the corner to start before knocking Mysterio outside. The dive connects but Mysterio rakes the eyes and they go into the crowd. Americano gets sent into something made of metal and they go back to ringside with Mysterio starting in on the ribs. Some chair shots to the back have Americano in more trouble and Dorian Roldan hands in a belt for some whipping.

Americano grabs the belt though and gets in a hard whip of his own for two to take over. La Cabernaria goes on but Roldan offers a distraction, allowing JD McDonagh to sneak in for a headbutt. Mysterio only gets two and already getting more complicated. Cue Los Americanos to go after McDonagh, with Bravo diving off the stage onto security. Americano’s Air Raid Crash gets two so Los Americanos come back to ringside…and here is Omos.

All three Americanos are taken out but Americano goes to the eye to escape a chokeslam. A low blow slows Omos down and Americano fires off some chair shots, leaving Omos to charge through the barricade. Back in and the running headbutt gets two on Mysterio, who catches Americano going up top. Americano knocks him down but here is Liv Morgan to crotch Americano on top.

The frog splash gets two (with JBL thinking that would have been a new champion) and Americano is back up, with a running headbutt taking him down. Mysterio hits a belt shot but misses the frog splash, allowing Americano to hit the running headbutt. Cue Rey Mysterio, in a neck brace, to count the pin at 17:38.

Rating: B+. It was rather good and they got the big moment at the end, but it wasn’t quite up there with the mask vs. mask match. Americano kind of had to win here, just for the sake of avoiding a riot. Dominik had gotten his big run as champion and is ready to move on anyway so having Rey cost him the title made it even better. Very solid main event with the right result and that’s all you could ask for here.

Americano gets a musical tribute to end the show.

Overall Rating: B. This show started slowly but it did get better with the four way and the main event both hitting hard. Carnicero vs. Clown was good enough and the Tag Team Title match wasn’t that bad. I wasn’t thrilled with the show overall and that’s probably due to having so much AAA this weekend. The appeal of the weekly show is how quick it is and that makes for a bit more of a test with this much. Overall good, but merging the two shows into one and cutting some stuff would have done wonders.

Results
Omos won La Copa Bardahl last eliminating Nino Hamburguesa
La Catalina b. Flammer – Running knee
El Carnicero b. Psycho Clown – Toolbox to the head
Rey Fenix b. Jack Cartwheel, Mini Vikingo and Nathan Frazer – Mexican MuscleBuster to Vikingo
Wagner Brothers b. War Raiders – Top rope splash to Ivar

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 are last week’s results if you need a recap.

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

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.

Here are last week’s results if you need a recap.

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.

Results
Mini Vikingo/El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. b. El Ojo – Springboard crucifix bomb to Vikingo
Rey Fenix b. Laredo Kid and Lince Dorado – Mexican MuscleBuster to Kid

Commentators: Rey Mysterio, John Bradshaw Layfield, Corey Graves

It’s the second night of Noche de Los Grandes and that means we’re going to be seeing some big stuff around here. At the same time though, they might have a bit of a time keeping up with what they did last week. We have a six woman tag this week though and that should be a good time so let’s get to it.

Here are last week’s results if you need a recap.

We open with a recap of last week’s mask vs. mask match which somehow exceeded expectations.

Octagon Jr. vs. Cruz del Toro vs. Lince Dorado vs. Joaquin Wilde vs. Mini Vikingo

For a Cruiserweight Title shot. Octagon and Dorado are sent outside to start, leaving Vikingo to get double teamed. Back to back moonsaults have Vikingo in trouble and Wilde tries a quick rollup. That leaves Wilde to go after del Toro, with the latter getting two off a rollup. Octagon is back in for a spinning high crossbody but Dorado and comes in as well. Dorado flips out of a monkey flip and sends Octagon outside.

Vikingo comes back inside and gets caught with a backbreaker, only to snap off a crazy headscissors. Octagon comes back in and is sent outside again with a hurricanrana. Wilde busts out his hairspray but del Toro hits a big dive to take out the non-Vikingo pile. A rope walk springboard dropkick puts Vikingo down but his hurricanrana gets two. Del Toro and Wilde get in another shoving match before Wilde facebusters Dorado for two more. Back up and Dorado knocks Wilde down and hits a shooting star press for the pin at 7:37.

Rating: B-. This was exactly what you would have expected from this match and that’s not a bad thing. They had a bunch of people flying around until one of them got a pin. That’s all it needed to be and I had a good enough time. Dorado is someone who can serve perfectly well as a first challenger for the title so it’s a good choice on the result too.

Apparently Octagon got badly hurt in there somewhere and was stretchered out. No word on how he’s doing but that’s always scary to see.

The War Raiders are ready for anyone.

El Ojo says the plan is finally coming together.

We get a press briefing with Rey Mysterio, who announces a WWE tour of Mexico and South America, with Raw and Smackdown being held in Mexico City. Also, his issues with Dominik Mysterio will not cause any issues and Dominik will be here later this month. We hear about the two night TripleMania again, with a Mega Title match headlining night two.

We look at a group of women fighting back against Las Toxicas, setting up this week’s main event.

We look at Chad Gable being unmasked and promising to return to AAA.

After last week’s main event, El Grande Americano had to be helped out by Los Americanos and thanks them for what they have done for him. He couldn’t have done this without the fans and people of Mexico who believed in him. Nice stuff here, as you can tell how big this really was for everyone.

Las Toxicas vs. La Catalina/Bayley/Lola Vice

Las Toxicas are dressed as cheerleaders. Catalina starts with Flammer, who does the tag out before fighting thing, which has become WAY too common lately. Maravilla takes Catalina into the corner and it’s off to Hiedra, who gets kneed down just as fast. Vice comes in for the running hip attack in the corner, followed by a triple suplex to the villains.

Some dives hit Las Toxicas but Catalina is sent into the steps. Vice is caught in the wrong corner and a wishbone into a Meteora gets two. Flammer knocks Bayley and Catalina off the apron, followed by a clothesline for two on Vice back inside. Something like a double chickenwing with a bodyscissors has Vice in more trouble.

That doesn’t last long as Vice slips out and brings in Bayley to clean house. The top rope elbow hits Maravilla for two but the Bayley To Belly is countered. Bayley gets crotched against the post for two and Flammer runs from Catalina again. Bayley puts Flammer down and Catalina hits a less than great moonsault for two. Everything breaks down and Maravilla walks into the Bayley To Belly. Catalina is back in with a hip attack and running knee to pin Flammer at 8:38.

Rating: C+. This was a run of the mill six woman tag but the only thing that mattered was having Catalina get the pin on Flammer. It should set them up for a big showdown at some point soon, though I’m still not sure I’m getting the appeal of Catalina. She’s ok enough, but the women’s division doesn’t exactly feel like the highest priority around here.

Overall Rating: C+. It’s weird to see this presented as something of a special as there is absolutely nothing here that stands out as a big deal. Maybe that’s just how things go in AAA as Rey de Reyes was kind of the same thing. Either way, it was a perfectly fine show and they moved some title programs forward. After last week though, it was kind of nice for a bit of a breather and probably rather needed.

AAA On FOX
Date: May 2, 2026
Location: Auditorio José María Arteaga, Querétaro, Mexico
Commentators: Rey Mysterio, John Bradshaw Layfield, Corey Graves

We’re coming up on Noche de Los Grandes and we have a heck of a main event for the show, with the Grande Americanos facing off in a mask vs. mask match. This week will see the contract signing and there is a good chance things are going to get intense. Other than that, we are still trying to figure out who has been attacking the Psycho Circus. Let’s get to it.

Here are last week’s results if you need a recap.

El Ojo is talking about El Hijo del Vikingo’s match tonight. They mention being family, but El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. comes in to ask what they would know about that.

Mini Vikingo vs. El Hijo del Vikingo

Hijo jumps Mini to start and stomps away in the corner as the fans are not pleased. The running dropkick hits Mini again and the big forearms against the ropes make it worse. Hijo rolls him up for two and grabs something like an STF, with Mini’s face being slammed into the mat. Mini tries to fight back but gets kicked in the face and dropkicked to the floor. Hijo sends him into the steps and adds a suplex onto the ramp.

Another drop has the referee ready to stop it but Mini wants to keep going. Back in and Hijo chokes away but Mini actually manages a Code Red for two. Hijo is sent outside for a running flip dive…into a crucifix bomb, which even has Mysterio impressed. They head back inside, where Hijo kicks him in the head and grabs a powerbomb for two, meaning it’s time to look stunned. Hijo takes the turnbuckle pad off but gets sent into it instead.

A 450 gets a rather near fall so Hijo sends Mini into the corner, knocking the referee outside. Mini grabs a hurricanrana and the bell rings but the referee is still down. Hijo gets in a cheap shot and hits a super Rock Bottom but there is still no one to count. Back up and Hijo seems to have messed up his shoulder, even as he grabs a chair. Cue Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. for a Wagner Driver onto the chair, allowing Mini to hit a 630 Phoenix splash for the shocking upset at 12:58.

Rating: B-. This is what you get when you keep stringing out the near falls and hope spots, as Hijo got too cocky and lost it in the end. I had a good time with this and they did a good job of keeping the story going through. Hopefully Hijo’s shoulder is ok though, as that didn’t look great in the end. Either way, nice job by Hijo by making Mini look great (which isn’t a surprise as it’s his younger brother).

Post match Omos comes in to wreck Mini and Wagner. Galeno del Mal (Wagner’s brother) runs in for the save. Hijo was getting his shoulder looked at as Omos came out and was still on the mat at the end of the segment so that’s not a good sign. Also who rang the bell? Wagner?

Rey Fenix vs. Laredo Kid

Non-title. Kid’s running shoulder doesn’t do much to Fenix, who pops up and sticks the landing on a hurricanrana. They trade some flips and flip up to a standoff, allowing Fenix to do his rather springboardy wristdrag. Kid cuts off a dive with a big clothesline though and a basement dropkick gets two.

A Michinoku Driver gives Kid two and a top rope splash connects for two more. Fenix avoids a charge in the corner though and hits a rope walk kick to the head to send Kid to the apron. Fenix kicks him out to the floor and there’s the slingshot hurricanrana. Back in and a top rope moonsault press gives Fenix two and a running springboard kick to the head connects in the corner.

The Mexican MuscleBuster is broken up though and Kid’s Canadian Destroyer gets…one. Back up and Fenix hits the rolling cutter for two and they chop it out from their knees. Fenix charges into a shot to the face in the corner but he catches Kid up top. The Mexican MuscleBuster gives Fenix the pin at 9:40.

Rating: B. These two worked well together, though that’s a pair of losses in a row for Kid. I’m not sure what that’s going to mean, but there is a good chance that this sets up a big showdown at Noche de Los Grandes for the title. Kid has been champion for the better part of ever so it might be time for Fenix to finally get a big win. For now though, you had two guys going nuts for about ten minutes and it was rather entertaining.

Post match Fenix offers a handshake but Kid clutches his belt and shoulders past him.

We recap the Psycho Circus vs. the War Raiders, which is going on at the same time that the Circus is being taken out one by one. Pagano is the most likely suspect and there is going to be a face to face showdown between Pagano and Psycho Clown next week.

Video on Catalina, who is making her in-ring debut next week.

It’s time for the Grande Americanos’ contract signing, with a bunch of security and a few hosts. Dorian Roldan explains the stakes of mask vs. mask but Original has a piece of paper, which he hands to Roldan. Apparently it’s from Original’s attorney and this match isn’t going to happen without some conditions. There can be no physical attacks from now until May 30, and if there is, the attacker has to unmask. Grande is ticked off but signs anyway and Roldan has security leave.

Hold on as there is something else on the paper: the female host/interviewer has to be removed from AAA for attacking Original. She wants Grande to take Original’s mask and leaves. Original signs and throws the pin at Grande before leaving. Grande: “SHORTY!” He has something else to say but the Creed Brothers run in and put Grande through the table. Los Americanos run in for the save to end the show. This is a great example of a story that might be a bit silly but it’s working so well because the fans care about the people involved. That’s how a good story should go and I want to see these two fight so nice job.

Overall Rating: B. This was more of a story heavy show and that’s nice to see on occasion. You can see where a lot of the Noche card is going and I’m liking what is being put together. The wrestling here was still pretty good and I want to see what happens from here. They keep me hooked week to week and that’s not something some much bigger promotions can pull off. This was a solid show and the ending was a hot angle, which is more than good enough for about an hour.

Results
Mini Vikingo b. El Hijo del Vikingo – 630 Phoenix splash
Rey Fenix b. Laredo Kid – Mexican MuscleBuster

Rey de Reyes 2026 Night Three
Date: March 28, 2026
Location: Auditorio GNP Seguros, Puebla, Mexico
Commentators: John Bradshaw Layfield, Rey Mysterio, Corey Graves

It’s the last night of Rey de Reyes and oddly enough, the biggest matches have been used up. There are still a few things to cover here though and we should be in for some good stuff. That has been the case around here in the first two weeks and I want to see where this goes after the big event is over. Let’s get to it.

Here are last week’s results if you need a recap.

The opening video talks about having what it takes to become forged into greatness. I believe the opening is the same as the previous two weeks, but it does move into clips about the remaining matches and talks about the final week of the show.

Cruiserweight Title: Jack Cartwheel vs. TJ Perkins vs. Dragon Lee vs. Laredo Kid

Kid is defending and this is one fall to a finish. Kid goes right after Perkins to start but it gets broken up, with Lee getting in some stomps to both of them. Cartwheel’s diving hurricanrana off the apron takes out Lee though and it’s Cartwheel with an Asai moonsault to knock down the pile. Back in and Lee knocks Kid down for two, followed by a bridging German suplex for the same.

Perkins is back up with kind of a double abdominal stretch to Lee and Kid, with Cartwheel making the save. Cartwheel takes out Lee and Perkins and hits the springboard flipping splash onto Lee. The sitout powerbomb gets two on Perkins with the other two making the save, leaving everyone down. Perkins is dropkicked to the floor and Kid is sent outside as well, with Cartwheel dropkicking Lee out too.

Cartwheel isn’t done and hits a big cartwheel dive onto the other three but Perkins crotches him on top. Lee superplexes Kid down to give Perkins two, with Lee making the save. Perkins gives Lee a Detonation Kick but gets caught with Cartwheel’s spinning moonsault…but the landing bounces Cartwheel into a Styles Clash from Lee, which lands on Perkins for a bonus. Kid breaks up a cover on…I have no idea and strikes it out with Lee. A running flipping DDT drops Lee but he’s right back with a running knee.

Kid takes Lee up but gets sunset bombed down by Cartwheel. Lee is able to block a super wheelbarrow rollup and double stomps Cartwheel on the back. Operation Dragon hits Cartwheel, with Perkins hitting a top rope legdrop for the save. Kid breaks up Perkins’ cover and a double superkick sends Perkins outside. Lee gives Cartwheel a big running flip dive but comes up holding his knee. Perkins misses a belt shot and gets taken down with a poisonrana. A curb stomp retains the title at 13:19.

Rating: B+. This was pretty much exactly as advertised, with everyone doing a bunch of spots and flying all over the place. That’s exactly what you expect with a Cruiserweight Title match, especially involving four people. Cartwheel and Lee got to stand out but Kid retains in the end to continue his record reign. Very fast paced, entertaining match.

Post match Rey Fenix comes out for the staredown with Kid.

Las Toxicas are proud of Flammer for her record reign as Reina de Reinas. There’s going to be a big celebration on April 11 in Mexico City. Champagne and men will be provided. Oh and there’s some woman named Sussy Love who she has to beat first but it shouldn’t be a problem.

We recap El Fiscal vs. Abismo Negro (I believe the same video from a few weeks ago) to set up their latest grudge match. Apparently they’re fighting over the Abismo Negro name, with Fiscal being the son of the original Abismo Negro, while this one took the name in a bad direction as part of Los Vipers (I think).

Abismo Negro vs. El Fiscal

Fiscal jumps him to start and hits a dive before going back inside to slug away. A clothesline puts Abismo down and it’s time to start slugging away. Abismo ties him in the corner for a dropkick and a big clothesline cuts off Fiscal’s comeback (JBL approves). The chinlock goes on before Abismo just slaps him in the face. That earns him a double leg takedown but Abismo blocks a Tombstone (illegal in Mexico). Abismo tries one of his own but gets rolled up for the pin at 6:34.

Rating: B-. This had me thinking of Jake Roberts vs. Randy Savage at This Tuesday In Texas, as it was clear that they hated each other but they didn’t have much time to do the actual match. Fiscal pretty much had to win for the sake of the honor of his own name, though the ending feels like it’s setting up another match. You could feel the hatred between these two though and it came off as a fight, which is how it should have felt.

Post match Abismo jumps Fiscal and tombstones him onto the announcers’ table (which doesn’t break). Points for the medical team, as the stretcher is RIGHT THERE.

Here’s what’s coming next week.

Here is El Ojo for a chat. Dorian Roldan didn’t expect much from this crowd and the fans should have cheered for El Hijo del Vikingo. They have turned their back on him and need to get over Vikingo turning his back on them. Vikingo calls Mini Vikingo dumb and he doesn’t know what he’s gotten into. Last time, Mini Vikingo’s mother was crying, so buy her a lot of tissues for what he’s got planned. Vikingo is ready to go to Wrestlemania as the Intercontinental Champion because he’s seen the stupid man with the title.

So Penta can get out here with his dumb dance…and here he is, complete with the dance. Penta acknowledges Vikingo’s skill but doesn’t like Roldan, who turns everything he touches to trash. Vikingo doesn’t respect his town and his mother doesn’t like him. He’s out here in a suit like he’s about to be baptized and the match is on. How about April 11 in Mexico City? Oh and here’s the little dance you didn’t like, plus a shove to Vikingo’s face. Penta thanks the fans and hits his catchphrase to wrap it up. That’s a big match, as they’re definitely making the Mexico City show feel important.

Overall Rating: B. This show did a nice job of covering a few things, as not only did it have the very good opener, but it also bridged things forward. We have the Intercontinental Title match and Flammer’s celebration announced for April 11, albeit with another title defense for Flammer in the way. While this felt like the least important of the three weeks (because it was), they did a good job of keeping me interested. Nice work again here, which is pretty normal for AAA.

Results
Laredo Kid b. Dragon Lee, Jack Cartwheel and TJ Perkins – Curb stomp to Perkins
El Fiscal b. Abismo Negro – Rollup

Rey de Reyes 2026 Night Two
Date: March 21, 2026
Location: Auditorio GNP Seguros, Puebla, Mexico
Commentators: John Bradshaw Layfield, Rey Mysterio, Corey Graves

We’re back to another part of this show and this time it’s about some gold rather than a really big sword. The Tag Team Titles are on the line as Psycho Clown and Pagano are defending against the War Raiders. Other than that, we have a mixed six person tag, which should be a lot of fun. Let’s get to it.

Here are last week’s results if you need a recap.

The opening video talks about iron sharpening iron and the iron will you need in this ring. We also look back at last week and look forward to this week.

Money Machine/La Hiedra vs. Lola Vice/Mr. Iguana/Rey Fenix

Fenix and Oro start things off with a run of the ropes, as Fenix keeps leapfrogging him. Oro gets sent back into his corner so Vice is in to hit Hiedra in the head. Iguana comes in to take over on Money Machine but the stuffed iguana is intercepted. A backbreaker/spinning top rope splash combination hits Iguana and they stop to beat up the stuffed version.

It’s off to Vice to send Hiedra into the corner for the running hip attack as everything breaks down. Hiedra is back up with a Stunner into a hip attack of her own, followed by a Downward Spiral. She makes the mistake of going to yell at Iguana though and gets caught in a double swinging faceplant. It’s back to Fenix to clean house with the rapid fire kicks, plus a super inverted Spanish Fly for two on Oro. Vice dives onto Hiedra and Iguana hits a big dive off the top to the floor. The Fenix Driver finishes Oro at 9:41.

Rating: B-. This was the fun opener that I was expecting as Vice and Iguana are a blast together, with the others more than pulling their weight. Fenix was in there as well to add all of the high flying stuff and that’s always worth a look. Good stuff here, with the fans digging what they were getting.

Post match Chelsea Green pops up to say she never lost her Mixed Tag Team Title, so acknowledge her as your champion. Anything involving more Green is a good thing.

We recap the Tag Team Title match, with the War Raiders showing up but Pagano and Psycho Clown not being ready to roll over for them.

Tag Team Titles: War Raiders vs. Pagano/Psycho Clown

The Raiders are challenging. It’s a brawl to start with the Raiders taking Clown out. Pagano manages to fight back and gets an Air Raid Crash to Erik but gets knocked off the top. Ivar crushes Pagano against the steps and hammers away back inside. Erik’s big knee gets two and Erik slams Ivar onto Pagano for two more. Pagano kicks his way out of the corner though and it’s back to Clown, who is healthy enough to start fighting back.

Everything breaks down and Clown hits a running dive to take out Erik on the floor. Back in and Clown gets knocked into the wrong corner, with Ivar being driven into his face. Pagano comes in again to make the save and it’s a missile dropkick into an Emerald Flosion for two on Erik. Pagano and Erik strike it out until Ivar is back in with a spinning kick to the face.

The Doomsault connects, with Clown having to dive off the top for the save. Everyone pulls themselves up and Clown pulls off his mask to reveal a red version. The champs win a slugout and Pagano hits a top rope legdrop for two. Back up and Pagano accidentally elbows Clown, only to have them go after the Raiders instead of each other. The double brawl is on and the referee is shoved down, which is a double DQ at 13:29.

Rating: B. This was exactly the kind of fight you would have expected from these teams and that was great to see. It’s a good example of not trying to overthink things, as this was about two big power teams beating the daylights out of each other. I like the ending as well, as that could set up a big physical rematch down the line.

Post match the brawl is on again and they grab chairs and kendo sticks to make it better. Security breaks it up.

El Ojo is trying to regroup after last week, with Dorian Roldan on the phone with his mom. After getting her out of the way, Roldan has to convince El Hijo del Vikingo that he should focus on winning the Intercontinental Title.

It’s time for the presentation of the sword to El Grande Americano. With the Roldans in the ring, 2010 winner Chessman, 2015 winner Texano Jr., and 1999 winner Cibernetico come out with their big swords. Now it’s time for this year’s winner, El Grande Americano, with JBL hating him all the way to the ring.

Americano greets everyone and thanks the fans for everything before praising the three previous winners. He talks about the respect he has for lucha libre and thanks Marisela Pena, as well as the fans. It’s about carrying the pride of Mexico and it isn’t about where you were born, because the pride of Mexico is about the culture.

Cue Dominik Mysterio (JBL approves) to actually shake hands and suggest that they have the title match right now. Americano chases Mysterio off but here is the Original El Grande Americano to jump Americano from behind. The beating is on with Americano being sent into various things and Original ripping at the mask. Los Americanos run in for the save but Original steals the sword to end the show.

Overall Rating: A-. This was a heck of a show with two good matches and a big angle to wrap it up. As has been the case since it started airing weekly, AAA is an easy show to watch and the English commentary has helped it a lot. This was a rather good show and it flew by, which is always nice to see. Heck of a show here and I want to see what happens next week.

Results
Rey Fenix/Mr. Iguana/Lola Vice b. Money Machine/La Hiedra – Fenix Driver to Oro
War Raiders vs. Pagano/Psycho Clown went to a double DQ when both teams shoved the referee

AAA On FOX
Date: February 28, 2026
Location: Showcenter Complex, Monterrey, Mexico
Commentators: Corey Graves, Rey Mysterio, John Bradshaw Layfield

We’re getting really close to Rey de Reyes and that means there is time for another qualifying match. That’s what we’ll be getting this week and the lineup is, uh, something. Other than that, odds are we get some more on El Hijo de Vikingo vs. Dominik Mysterio so let’s get to it.

Here are last week’s results if you need a recap.

We open with a recap of last week’s Mega Title contract signing, which resulted in a fight between the two Grande Americanos.

Here is Extra Crispy El Grande Americano to get things going, with commentary arguing over which one is the original. The fans are certainly happy to have him back and he talks about how happy he is to be here with his people in Monterrey. We need to talk about that shorty fraud, who stole his name and can’t even speak Spanish. This is Mexico and he wants to find out if the impostor can speak it at all.

We go to the back, where Pimpinela Escarlata goes to the Original’s locker room. Original speaks some horrible Spanish while Escarlata offers him food with cheese, which he doesn’t seem to understand. Escarlata goes into the locker room to call him a fake and gets beaten down. Grande Americano, the one in the ring, doesn’t seem pleased.

We look back at TJP losing to Laredo Kid last week but beating him down after the match.

Jack Cartwheel vs. Dragon Lee

For a Cruiserweight Title shot. They go with the grappling to start, with JBL saying they remind him of the Acolytes back in the day. Lee avoids an early moonsault but gets kicked into the ropes. A kick to the ribs cuts Cartwheel off but he’s back with a crucifix bomb for two. Cartwheel tries something from the apron and gets kicked to the floor, setting up a running flip dive.

Back in and Lee charges into a Spanish Fly for two but Lee flips him into a sitout powerbomb for the same. Cartwheel is right back with a poisonrana and a springboard phoenix splash for two. Lee gets up for a Styles Clash and two of his own, followed by the top rope double stomp. Operation Dragon finishes Cartwheel at 8:18.

Rating: B-. This was the kind of simple formula of taking two guys and fly through the match with the two of them going nuts. It’s the kind of high flying, fast paced match that is always going to work and they got to look good in the time they had. Lee is someone who has been pretty regularly presented by WWE so a title change isn’t the craziest concept.

Post match Lee says he can win the title but here is TJP to interrupt saying that won’t be easy. Laredo Kid comes out and goes after TJP but hits Lee by mistake. The brawl is on, with Jack Cartwheel getting back into things and standing tall with the title.

A doctor gives an update on Pimpinela Escarlata and it doesn’t sound good.

El Ojo doesn’t seem on the same page over Omos winning Rey de Reyes and El Hijo de Vikingo winning the Mega Title because they would have to face each other. Dorian Roldan says this is part of a big plan.

Pimpinela Escarlata is being taken away in an ambulance and asks El Grade Americano to take his place. FOR MEXICO.

Rey de Reyes Qualifying Match: Ethan Page vs. Omos vs. Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. vs. El Grande Americano

Non-title and Page freaks out over Americano being in the match. He goes out and sits in the front row so Omos tells the other two to bring it. Things are indeed brought and are promptly shrugged off with giant power. Americano’s armbar is broken up with a slam and now Page comes in to offer a partnership with Omos. That lasts about ten seconds before Omos kicks him in the face and shrugs off a double suplex attempt.

Wagner is whipped hard into the corner and a side slam drops Americano. A big boot gets two on Wagner and Page makes the save, which he immediately regrets. Omos picks up the two masked men and boots Page at the same time before leaving all of them down at once. Page goes outside again so Omos gives…well he follows him and cuts off Americano’s dive.

Wagner hits a dive of his own to stagger Omos and some triple teaming actually knocks him down. Back in and Wagner’s frog splash hits Page and Americano at the same time for two. Page and Wagner slug it out with Page getting the better of things and going for the mask. Americano is back up to take over on Page, with a middle rope clothesline connecting.

Omos is back in (JBL: “Eat him Omos! Eat him!”) so Americano goes after him, only to get kind of grazed with a right hand. Wagner and Americano get together to throw Omos outside before slugging it out in the middle. A Death Valley Driver plants Wagner and Page grabs the cover for two. Back up and the Wagner Driver hits Page, with Santos Escobar popping up to pull the referee.

Escobar and Wagner brawl off, leaving Page and Americano to fight on the apron to quite the reaction. Omos is back to grab both of them by the throat but here are Los Americanos to handcuff Omos to the post in a smart move. Back in and Americano gets the weird camel clutch to make Page tap but the referee got bumped somewhere in there.

Cue the Original El Grande Americano with Pimpinela Escarlata’s hat. That’s enough of a distraction for Page to grab a powerbomb for two on Americano. The Original grabs a chair but La Parka runs in to take it away and beat Original with it instead. Back in and Americano’s running headbutt catches Page for the pin at 18:02.

Rating: B+. Well dang that wound up being awesome. This was an Attitude Era style melee with everyone going nuts and all kinds of people getting involved. That can go in a variety of ways but it was very entertaining stuff here, with things going as wild and insane as you would want. The fans were with it the entire time too and I had a great time with this whole thing.

Overall Rating: B. Every week, this show becomes more and more entertaining as it is different enough from what WWE is doing despite WWE stars showing up here. The main event was a lot of fun and Rey de Reyes is looking rather good as a result. Hopefully AAA goes nuts again with the big pay per view, which could be a blast if they keep up this pace.

Results
Dragon Lee b. Jack Cartwheel – Operation Dragon
El Grande Americano b. Ethan Page, Omos and Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. – Running headbutt to Page

AAA On Fox
Date: February 7, 2026
Location: Auditorio José María Arteaga, Santiago de Querétaro, Mexico
Commentators: Corey Graves, John Bradshaw Layfield, Rey Mysterio

It’s time to head back to Mexico and I’m mostly enjoying this promotion in its time on the new network. There is something interesting about having a secondary promotion like this which isn’t directly connected to the main roster. We’re getting enough guest stars around here and it makes things fun enough to keep watching things. Let’s get to it.

Here are last week’s results if you need a recap.

Ethan Page gets a call from Chelsea Green, who doesn’t seem to be here as planned for their title match tonight.

Here is Dominik Mysterio to get things going (and Rey Mysterio calls him a “ba*****”, which isn’t the best sounding insult). Dominik talks about how he doesn’t want to see these old faces on the flags because he is the ruler here. No one has given this company the place that he has given it or done what he has done with the title. He beat John Cena at Survivor Series and this title was in the middle of the ring for everyone to see it.

AAA is exploding all over Latin America and it is thanks to him, not El Hijo de Vikingo or Dorian Roldan. Cue El Ojo, with Roldan saying that Dominik is right, as things are exploding, but it’s because of Vikingo. The fans don’t approve and it gets worse when Vikingo gets the mic and promises to take the title on March 14. Dominik threatens violence so Vikingo says he wants the stakes raised, with Vikingo’s hair on the line.

Ethan Page is still freaking out about Chelsea Green, who is on the phone and shows off her foot in a walking boot. La Hiedra comes in and seems interested in being Page’s partner, complete with a quick slap to the back of his trunks.

We look at various Hispanic and AAA wrestlers in the Royal Rumbles. Feel free to have a match on this show. Anytime.

Mixed Tag Team Titles: Lola Vice/Mr. Iguana vs. Ethan Page/La Hiedra

Vice and Iguana are challenging and Page has both titles. Why did he have Green’s title if he thought she was going to be here? Page grabs a headlock on Iguana to start things off but gets reversed into a spinning DDT. The women come in with Vice kicking away and the champions get caught with some running hip attacks.

Vice knocks Hiedra outside for a quick shake, only to get crushed against the steps. Back in and Hiedra cranks on the arm, which is broken up in a hurry, allowing the tag off to Vice. Everything breaks down and Hiedra’s offer to kiss Iguana is shoved away. Page threatens to cut off the stuffed iguana’s head but it gets knocked into Iguana’s hands. The distraction lets Vice grab a rollup for the titles at 5:36.

Rating: C. That was a pretty short comedy match and while I get the idea of the popular team getting the titles, it’s a shame that Green wasn’t around. The good thing is that things stayed entertaining throughout, which makes sense as the people involved fit well. Hiedra being tied in made sense as well, as she was already dealing with Iguana and Vice. Not much of a match, but I was entertained enough.

Dominik Mysterio runs into El Grande Americano and they seem to get along, with talks of Grande respecting legends, including Rey Mysterio. There seems to be talk of a title match and Mysterio leaves…but the Original El Grande Americano jumps Grande and handcuffs him to some exercise equipment.

Here’s what’s coming next week.

Rey de Reyes Qualifying Match: Octagon Jr. vs. Rey Fenix vs. Dragon Lee vs. Original El Grande Americano

The fans tell Americano to GET OUT and he is quickly sent outside. Octagon clears the ring but Americano pulls him outside to cut off an early dive. Americano comes back inside, where he is quickly dropped with a double superkick. That leaves us with Fenix vs. Lee and the fans certainly approve. They both escape each other and miss kicks until Americano is back in to drop them both.

That earns him a knockdown from Octagon but Fenix clears him out as well. Fenix’s big running corkscrew dive drops Lee but gets superplexed by Americano. We cut to the back where the other Americano is still handcuffed before coming back where Lee dives into a suplex to give the Original Americano two. Something like a Dominator into a DDT gets two on Fenix but Octagon is back in.

Octagon’s super hurricanrana is blocked though and Lee hits his top rope double stomp. Lee’s Styles Clash gets two on Americano, with Fenix making the save. Fenix and Lee strike it out again with Fenix getting the better of things but Octagon gives him a poisonrana. Americano is back in with a German suplex, setting up the ankle lock to Fenix. That’s broken up and Octagon gives Americano a 450 for two.

We cut to the back where Rayo and Bravo can’t get the other Americano free, continuing their uselessness. Back in the ring, Fenix kicks Lee in the mask and drops him with a jumping neckbreaker. The Mexican Muscle Buster drops Octagon but Americano makes the save. That leaves Fenix to go for his mask until Lee breaks it up. Americano loads up the mask and starts clearing the ring, setting up a top rope headbutt to finish Octagon at 14:23.

Rating: B. This was right out of the same playbook from the previous qualifying match and that is a good thing. It’s the idea of just letting four people go out there and fly all over the place until someone got a pin. In this case it made even more sense with the cheating Americano, which is one of the hotter stories around here. Good main event, even if it came on a show with two matches.

Post match the other Americano runs out to chase off the Original.

Overall Rating: C+. There’s only so much to be gained out of a two match show, even with a decent amount of stuff happening. As usual, there’s only so much to complain about on a show that runs about fifty minutes when you take out the commercials. The good thing is I feel like I know the main stories, even if they’re only so deep. This remains a very easy watch and it’s fun to see the fans getting behind a lot of this stuff. Nice show here, but not the most wrestling heavy week.
