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.

Results
Mr. Iguana/Lola Vice b. Ethan Page/La Hiedra – Rollup to Hiedra
Original El Grande Americano b. Octagon Jr., Rey Fenix and Dragon Lee – Loaded headbutt to Octagon

Commentators: John Bradshaw Layfield, Corey Graves, Rey Mysterio

It’s the third episode of this show and as announced last week, we’ll be seeing the first qualifying match for the Rey de Reyes tournament. That’s a big enough match in the first place, but it’s taken down a bit for a fairly dumb reason that we’ll get to after the match is over. Let’s get to it.

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

Opening sequence.

Opening recap, looking at Omos helping El Hijo del Vikingo be El Grande Americano last week.

Here is Dorian Roldan with Omos to get things going. Roldan (as translated by Rey Mysterio) talks about his family’s influence on wrestling and how they are leading things forward. El Ojo (the Eye, their group) has the greatest wrestler in the world right now so here is El Hijo del Vikingo.

Cue Vikingo, who brags about being the #1 contender and doesn’t understand why the people are supporting a false Mexican. The fans turned their backs on him so he’s turning his back on them. At Rey de Reyes, he’s getting the title back. Dominik Mysterio pops up on screen to say he’s keeping the title in Vikingo’s hometown. These guys could be a problem.

Video on the Rey de Reyes tournament.

We run down the card.

Chris Carter vs. Mini Vikingo vs. Elio LeFleur vs. TJP

For a Cruiserweight Title shot. Carter starts fast and knocks TJP down in the corner, followed by a hurricanrana to send LeFleur outside. Vikingo and Carter hit stereo running dives before trying dropkicks back inside. They shake hands but get jumped by TJP (JBL loves the punishment for stupidity), who charges into Carter’s boot in the corner.

TJP grabs a double submission on Carter and Vikingo before putting Vikingo in a surfboard. LeFleur breaks that up and the other three are sent outside, which of course means a springboard flip dive. Back in and TJP hits the Detonation Kick to Carter but gets dropped by LeFleur. Vikingo is back in to splash Carter but TJP steals the pin at 6:14.

Rating: B-. This was in the vein of “let’s take a bunch of people and let them fly all over the place for a few minutes”. TJP winning is as good as anyone else as he didn’t exactly stand out above the rest of the participants. The match had everything you could want out of the thing and it didn’t overstay its welcome so this was a nice opener.

Post match here is El Ojo to chase off TJP, with Omos destroying Mini Vikingo. El Hijo del Vikingo yells at Mini and it’s a second powerbomb to leave him laying.

We recap La Hiedra vs. Lola Vice, with Mr. Iguana in the middle. As luck would have it, he’s the guest referee for their match tonight.

The War Raiders are here in two weeks.

La Hiedra vs. Lola Vice

Mr. Iguana is guest referee and Las Toxicas are here with Hiedra. They shove each other to start and Vice runs her over for some dancing (Iguana approves). An exchange of rollups results in both women getting a bit closer to Iguana but Hiedra takes Vice down for some right hands.

Back up and Vice kicks her into the corner for…well even more kicking actually. The running hip attack misses though and it’s Hiedra hitting one of her own. Iguana doesn’t like Las Toxicas getting on the apron and throws them out, leaving Vice to reverse a rollup into a choke. Stereo faceplants leave both of them down and it’s Vice up first to knock her into the corner again.

Now the running hip attack connects, with Vice blowing Iguana a kiss before getting two. Hiedra sends her throat first into the ropes and gets two off a Downward Spiral. With nothing else working, Hiedra grabs the stuffed iguana, which is NOT ok with Mr. Iguana. Instead she grabs the trunks on a rollup but gets caught, allowing Vice to grab a rollup with trunks for the pin at 7:59.

Rating: C+. I don’t speak much Spanish, but this is a story you can understand just by watching what’s happening in front of you. That’s usually a sign that things are going well, as you should be able to tell a story with something other than words. It’s a simple story but it’s going well and Vice/Iguana should make a fun team.

Ethan Page and Chelsea Green want to face Lola Vice and Mr. Iguana, who are dancing in the ring, for the Mixed Tag Team Titles.

Santos Escobar flashes back over his career and now he wants the Latin American Title.

Rey de Reyes Qualifying Match: Aerostar vs. Apollo Crews vs. La Parka vs. Jack Cartwheel

Crews throws Cartwheel at Aerostar to start and it’s Parks slugging it out with Crews, including some dancing. Aerostar is back in but gets kicked in the face, only to send Crews outside. Crews gets dropped onto the apron, leaving Aerostar and Cartwheel to flip around a lot. Cartwheel clears the ring but Crews sends him outside and hits a big running flip dive onto all three.

Back in and Crews’ delayed vertical suplex drops Parka, who is back up with a Michinoku Driver. Cartwheel makes the save so Parka takes Crews and Cartwheel down. Parka frog splashes Cartwheel but Aerostar makes the save. Aerostar gets to knock everyone down until Cartwheel poisonranas Crews.

Cartwheel neckbreakers Parka and Aerostar and there’s the big flip dive onto the pile. Back in and a corkscrew shooting star press hits Parka but Crews powerbombs Cartwheel onto Parka. Aerostar is back in with a rolling cutter to Crews, only for Parka to catch Aerostar on top with a super Spanish Fly. The Thriller gives Parka the pin on Aerostar at 8:16.

Rating: B. This was the slightly extended version of the opener and it was more entertaining, with a bunch of people flying around. Some of the saves were rather good and Parka winning is a fine choice. Granted it’s also a spoiled choice as he was in the Royal Rumble this afternoon and Michael Cole spoiled the result. Nice job WWE.

Overall Rating: B-. As usual, this is an easy watch as it runs about an hour a week and features some pretty easy to understand angles. That being said, it’s still a pretty run of the mill show, with little in the way of in-depth stuff. This show feels more about fast paced, entertaining action and that’s a fine way to go. It’s also a nice place to send some other wrestlers for some reps, with people like Crews and the upcoming Raiders being good examples. Nice show here, though going beyond an hour a week would be asking a lot.

Results
TJP b. Chris Carter, Mini Vikingo and Elio LeFleur – Splash to Carter
Lola Vice b. La Hiedra – Rollup with trunks
La Parka b. Aerostar, Jack Cartwheel and Apollo Crews – Thriller to Aerostar

AAA Alianzas
Date: November 22, 2025
Location: Gimnasio Olimpico Juan de la Barrera, Mexico City, Mexico
Commentator: Jose Manuel Guillen

This appears to be a show that airs about once a month or so and in this case, it was broadcast on the WWE YouTube channel. That’s enough to get me to watch the show, though apparently commentary is entirely in Spanish. I’m not sure what this is going to mean or how much I’ll understand but the name of the show means Alliances, so expect some kind of a team deal. Let’s get to it.

Note that I do not follow the regular AAA shows nor do I understand more than a tiny bit of Spanish so I apologize in advance for any storyline or character points that I miss.

We open with a recap of El Hijo del Vikingo saying he’s the best and being interrupted by El Grande Americano, leading to a brawl. We also see Dominik Mysterio beating Dragon Lee to retain the Mega Title at Heroes Inmortales. Later, the Wyatt Sicks attacked Pagano and Psycho Clown and Chelsea Green and Ethan Page became the Mixed Tag Team Champions.

Mysterio and Americano, partners later tonight, share a bag of popcorn.

A team called El Ojo (the Eye) gets what seems to be instructions from their manager (I believe it’s Dorian Roldan).

We get the traditional tribute to Antonio Pena.

Je’Von Evans vs. Axiom vs. Octagon Jr.

For a future Cruiserweight Title shot, with champion Laredo Kid on commentary. Octagon gets knocked down to start but gets back up for a rollup on Axiom. Commentary talks about John Cena and Smackdown as they trade missed dropkicks for a triple staredown. A dropkick and springboard armdrag send Evans outside and Axiom follows it up with a running hurricanrana to Octagon.

Evans is back in to send Axiom outside, only to get hurricanranaed by Octagon. Back up and Octagon hits a running corkscrew dive to take both of them out on the floor, followed by a slingshot corkscrew splash for two on Axiom. The corkscrewing continues with a high crossbody for two on Evans as Axiom makes the save. This time it’s Axiom hitting the big dive to the floor to take both of them out as the fans approve.

Back in and Evans is knocked down, followed by a Codebreaker to Axiom, leaving all of them needing a breather. Octagon’s 450 mostly misses Evans but gets two anyway, with Axiom breaking it up. Evans hits a heck of a no hands dive onto Octagon on the floor, followed by a great frog splash for two on Axiom.

Back in and Axiom kicks Octagon down and backslides Evans for two. A superkick gets two more on Octagon, who catches Axiom on top. The tabletop superplex drops Axiom for another two with Evans making the save this time. Axiom’s super Spanish Fly hits Octagon but Evans cuts off the Golden Ratio, using Octagon as a launchpad for a cutter. The top rope cutter gives Evans the pin on Axiom at 12:12.

Rating: B. This is straight out of a bunch of promotion’s playbooks, as you take athletic wrestlers and let them fly around the ring for a bit to start the show. It’s worked well for years and will continue to do so for a long time. Evans continues to rack up experience, which is only going to help him in the end. Axiom is already fairly seasoned and can hang in there with anyone, with Octagon being more than good in his own right. Rather fun opener here.

Post match Kid gets in the ring for a respectful handshake and staredown.

Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano are in the back, with Mysterio holding up some Gringos Locos masks.

El Ojo vs. Psycho Circus/Pagano

No DQ and Dorian Roldan is here with El Ojo (El Mesias, Mecha Wolf, Forastero, Sanson) and Psycho Circus is Psycho Clown/Murder Clown/Dave The Clown). The Clowns clear the ring to start and we settle down to Pagano striking away at (I believe) Wolf, including a springboard cutter. Pagano whips out the weapons but gets taken down by the quick dive, allowing everyone to grab weapons for the big brawl.

The Clowns get the better of things and Murder takes over with cookie sheet. That earns him a big group beatdown, including stomps and kendo stick shots. Murder is right back with a double Samoan drop and the crushes Mesias, allowing the needed tag off to Psycho. Everything breaks down again and we hit more dives, meaning it’s table time. Dave takes out Psycho by mistake and Mesias gives Dave a Backstabber.

Pagano’s middle rope Codebreaker takes Mesias down and Murder chokebombs Wolf. Sanson comes back in to clean house until Psycho sunset flips Forastero for two. Forastero and Sanson take Psycho up top for a double superplex, which naturally is turned into a Tower Of Doom. Some top rope splashes ensue and everyone is down for a needed breather. The clowns hit their dives (mostly) and it’s Psycho with a super Spanish Fly onto some chairs to pin Sanson at 12:08.

Rating: B-. Kind of like the opener, you knew what you were going to get with the people involved. They didn’t bother trying to do anything but have a violent fight here and from what I’ve seen, that tends to go with the Clowns’ strengths. The Clowns have felt like a big deal around here for a long time and having them face what seems to be a top heel stable is always going to work.

Post match the Clowns brag about their win but Bo Dallas pops up on screen and accepts a challenge for a match against the Wyatt Sicks at Guerrera de Titantes. It seems to be a Carnival Of Carnage, which doesn’t sound pleasant.

Dragon Lee talks to El Hijo del Vikingo about their tag match tonight but Vikingo doesn’t seem interested.

Mixed Tag Team Titles: Lola Vice/Mr. Iguana vs. Chelsea Green/Ethan Page

Green and Page are defending and the champs run them over to start fast. Some stereo hurricanranas take Green and Page down though and Vice rams her hips into Green’s head. Vice even blows a kiss to Iguana, who isn’t sure what to do. A snap suplex drops green and it’s off to the men, with Iguana pulling out his namesake. Page cuts that off with a powerslam out of the corner and kicks Iguana in the face for a bonus.

Another powerslam attempt is countered into a tornado DDT and the tag brings in Vice to kick away at Green. The running hip attack in the corner gets two, with Page making the save. Everything breaks down and Iguana hits a springboard hurricanrana to take out Page on the floor. The referee goes down and Green brings in a kendo stick. Vice takes it away but so does Page, and a hard shot knocks Iguana (who was protecting Vice) out for the pin at 7:02.

Rating: C+. Green and Page are some of the most entertaining people in wrestling today and they got to showcase some of that here. At the same time, Iguana and Vice were able to do their thing, with the fans approving. These titles are almost guaranteed to be a bit less than serious, so Green and Page annoying the fans until someone knocks them off is a good way to go.

Post match El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. runs in for the brawl with Page. Green gets in a cheap shot though and Page beats him down.

Dominik Mysterio/El Grande Americano vs. Dragon Lee/El Hijo del Vikingo

Mysterio and Americano are the clear crowd favorites here. Lee and Mysterio start things off with Lee snapping off a running hurricanrana. Vikingo comes in to cut off a charge into the corner so it’s off to Americano, who shoves Vikingo down. Americano’s armdrag into a hammerlock has the fans singing (again) and Americano does a handstand, complete with claps of his feet.

That’s broken up and Lee hits a running dropkick but Vikingo won’t let him use the big dive. Vikingo does his own dive and NOW Lee can bust out the flipping dive. Lee and Vikingo nearly get in a fight on the floor, allowing Mysterio and Americano to hit stereo baseball slides. Back in and Mysterio dropkicks Lee outside again and some rolling suplexes make it worse. Vikingo gets the tag to take over on Mysterio, but Lee tags himself in out of frustration.

Lee’s top rope double stomp in the Tree Of Woe gets two and it’s back to an annoyed Vikingo. A Michinoku Driver gets Mysterio out of trouble and Americano comes in for the comeback. Americano hits a springboard Blockbuster (nice) into something like White Noise for two on Lee.

Vikingo goes up but Lee is sent into him for a crotching so Americano covers Lee, with Vikingo firing off a 450 for the save. Unfortunately that hits Lee, who is right back with Operation Dragon for two on Mysterio. Lee dives over for the tag and of course Vikingo pulls his arm back and even knocks Lee out. The 619 sets up Americano’s running headbutt to finish Lee at 17:01.

Rating: B. The fact that I can’t understand the promos or the backstory but knew the story they were telling in the match means they were doing something right. The action was there as well, with everyone working hard and putting in a good match that the fans liked. I got into this and it felt like a big time main event, so well done all around.

Post match Mysterio brags about their win and says they’re the best in the world. Cue the reunited Lucha Bros, who seem to disagree, and say something about chicken nuggets. This seems to be a challenge for Guerra de Titantes on December 20 in Guadalajara. Mysterio and Americano seem to be in to end the show.

Overall Rating: B. I had a good time with this show, which certainly felt like a WWE formatted show at times. I could get a nice enough idea of what was going on here, which is quite the feat when the show is in an entirely different language. This was definitely a faster paced style, but the show was entertaining and kept my attention for almost two hours. Nice job, and something I could go for more of if WWE wants to do some more special broadcasts.

Je’Von Evans b. Octagon and Axiom – Top rope cutter to Axiom
Psycho Circus/Pagano b. El Ojo – Super Spanish Fly onto chairs to Sanson
Ethan Page/Chelsea Green b. Mr. Iguana/Lola Vice – Kendo stick shot to Iguana
El Grande Americano/Dominik Mysterio b. Dragon Lee/El Hijo del Vikingo – Running headbutt to Lee
