AAA On FOX – June 27, 2026: That’s Just How They Do It Here (Includes Full Show)

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

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

AAA On FOX – June 13, 2026: Leftovers (Includes Full Show)
AAA On FOX

Location: Gimnasio Olimpico, Mexico City, Mexico
Commentators: Corey Graves, John Bradshaw Layfield
We’re done with Noche de Los Grandes and that means it is time to get ready for the next major show, which is likely to be announced soon. There is quite a bit of fallout to deal with from the show and that might start this week. If nothing else, we haven’t heard from Dominik Mysterio that much lately so let’s get to it.
Galeno runs both of them over to start and sends them outside for various throwing. Back in and the rapid clotheslines have Jacket in trouble in the corner and a double cannonball has JBL begging for mercy. A frog splash to Jacket gives Galeno the double pin at 3:17.
Rating: C. This was exactly what it should have been as Galeno got to go in there and wreck some people. He’s being built up as a monster and uses the power and size advantages that he has rather well. It works for him and that’s not something you see around here, making for a unique and good fit.
Omos sees this and wants three opponents.
Verano de Escalando is on July 25.
Los Vipers vs. Fiscal/Octagon Jr./La Parka
Octagon hurricanranas Taurus down and hands it off to Fiscal, who drops Octagon onto him for the big crash. It’s already back to Octagon to work on the arm and a headscissors drops Taurus again. Negro comes in and gets to face Fiscal so let’s go with Histeria instead. Parka comes in for some dancing and gets to enziguri Taurus into the corner.
A cheap shot lets Histeria take over on Parka, who is launched into a double kick to the ribs for two. The double suplex/high crossbody combination gets two but Parka flapjacks Taurus. Fiscal comes back in to clean house and NOW we get the showdown with Negro. Fiscal sends him outside for the big dive and they brawl up the aisle. Parka moonsaults onto Taurus, leaving Octagon to give Histeria a flipping fall away slam for the pin at 8:45.
Rating: B-. First of all, this doesn’t mean anything as far as Octagon’s injury as from what I can tell, this might have been filmed back in April. Other than that, they have something with the Abismo vs. Fiscal feud and if we ever get a big blowoff, it could go a long way. Parka is always going to get cheered and Los Vipers work well together so this was a nice addition to the show.
We look at El Hijo del Vikingo winning the Latin American Title.
Omos vs. Chris Carter/Kingu/Daimo
Omos splashes them in the corner to start and then does it again a few more times. Kingu and Carter are put up on Omos’ shoulders while he kicks Daimo. A Last Ride to Daimo is enough for the triple pin at 2:38.
We look at Las Toxicas being defeated last week.
Here’s what’s coming next week, including El Grande Americano and Dominik Mysterio.
Mixed Tag Team Titles: Joaquin Wilde/La Hiedra vs. Lola Vice/Mr. Iguana
Vice and Iguana are defending. Hiedra backs Vice into the corner to start and gets her into an early Brock Lock. Vice is back up and gets to dance as Wilde comes in. That’s enough to distract Wilde so Iguana gets in a blind shot, earning himself a faceplant from Wilde. We pause for Wilde to reapply the hairspray before Iguana small packages him for two.
Iguana fights up without much trouble and brings Vice back in to clean house on Hiedra. Everything breaks down and the champs hit stereo running hip attacks in the corners, followed by some YES Kicks to rock Hiedra. A double faceplant leaves both of them down and Iguana is back in with a high crossbody to Wilde. Back up and Wilde hits a superkick, only to miss a Lionsault. Iguana’s spinning bulldog retains the titles at 8:12.
Rating: C+. AAA does not hide what these titles are about and that’s not a bad thing. These titles are not at all meant to be taken seriously and they’re basically around as an “in case of a boring show, here’s a title match”. Vice and Iguana are fun together and they can do their thing against any random team, which is pretty much what we got here.
Post match the brawl stays on until Las Toxicas run in for the brawl. Bayley and La Catalina make the save and Flammer is beaten down to end the show.
Overall Rating: C. This was a good example of a show that was fun but completely unnecessary viewing. There was pretty much nothing added to the bigger stories here and none of the matches are worth going out of your way to see. The positive side though is that the show is less than fifty minutes (probably closer to forty five when you take out the graphics at the beginning and end) so it’s not like you invest a lot of time. Things will pick up again next week but for now, a totally skippable, yet fine, show.
Results
Galeno b. Galio/Golden Jacket – Double pin
Fiscal/Octagon Jr./La Parka b. Los Vipers – Super fall away slam to Histeria
Omos b. Chris Carter/Kingu/Daimo – Triple pin
Mr. Iguana/Lola Vice b. Joaquin Wilde/La Hiedra – Spinning bulldog to Wilde

AAA On FOX – May 30, 2026: The Grande One (Noche de Los Grandes Week One) (Includes Full Show)
AAA On FOX
Date: May 30, 2026
Location: Arena Monterrey, Monterrey, Mexico
Commentators: Rey Mysterio, John Bradshaw Layfield, Corey Graves
It’s the first week of Noche de Los Grandes and to say this is a big one would be an understatement, as we have the ultimate showdown in lucha libre: a mask vs. mask match. That’s the kind of thing that you do not see around here very often and the big story is El Grande Americano vs. the Original El Grande Americano with the masks on the line. That’s about all you need so let’s get to it.
The opening video looks at the importance of the mask and how much it means in lucha libre. Tonight, someone loses everything.
Cruiserweight Title: Laredo Kid vs. Rey Fenix
Fenix is challenging and dropkicks him into the corner at the bell. An early Mexican MuscleBuster is escaped and Kid grabs a quick powerbomb. A kick to the head puts Fenix down but he avoids a middle rope moonsault. Instead it’s a Michinoku Driver for two on Fenix, followed by a Texas Cloverleaf to stay on the back. With that not working, Kid unhooks the turnbuckle pad and avoids a charge into the post.
The Cloverleaf goes on again in the corner, setting up a curb stomp for two. Back up and Fenix hits some clotheslines to send him outside and of course that means a big dive. Fenix’s cross armbreaker sends Kid over to the rope and they chop it out. Fenix flips out of a tornado DDT and kicks him in the head, only to get caught with a running flipping DDT. That’s good for a rather delayed two, with Fenix’s rolling cutter gets a less delayed version of the same.
Another Mexican MuscleBuster is countered into a small package for two so Fenix tries a third time and gets a near fall of his own. The referee notices the exposed buckle and gets in the way, allowing Kid to get in a low blow. The frog splash hits Fenix for two but Fenix sends him into the exposed buckle, kicks him in the head, and grabs another Mexican MuscleBuster for the pin and the title at 11:53.
Rating: B. Build up a challenger against a longtime champion and have him win the title. That’s a classic story that has worked for the better part of ever in wrestling and it worked again here. Fenix finally gets some gold under the WWE umbrella and feels like a star in the profess. It came in a good match as well, which is always a nice bonus.
Post match Fenix gets to celebrate with his family in a nice moment.
Various celebrities and wrestlers are here.
We recap the Latin American Title match. El Hijo del Vikingo is getting a shot because he’s a big star and champion El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. doesn’t think Vikingo and his El Ojo knows much about family.
Latin American Title: El Hijo del Vikingo vs. El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr.
Vikingo, with Dorian Roldan, is challenging. Wagner dropkicks him into the corner at the bell (thankfully Graves points out that Fenix did the same thing in the opener) and snaps off a powerslam. They go to the apron, where a big boot puts Vikingo on the floor. Vikingo is right back up to put him on the steps for a double stomp and quite the crash.
A rather hard baseball slide knocks Wagner off the apron again and Vikingo hits a running shooting star from the apron. Back in and Wagner knees him down in the corner, setting up a running cannonball. The splash gives Wagner two but Vikingo’s crucifix driver leaves them both down.
Cue Omos to crotch Wagner on top though and Vikingo hits a running Meteora. The 450 gets two and here is Galeno, who is quickly knocked out by Omos. Galeno is back up with some chair shots to actually drop Omos and Mini Vikingo runs in with a springboard missile dropkick. Wagner plants Vikingo for two but Omos is back up to knock Wagner silly. The 630 gives Vikingo the pin and the title at 7:20.
Rating: B-. This was all about the interference and that made for a good story, as Vikingo and his family beat Wagner and his family. That’s how the story was set up and El Ojo needed a win of some kind as they haven’t meant much over the last few weeks. Wagner wasn’t doing much as champion either so this is a good move all around.
More celebrities and wrestlers are here.
Tag Team Titles: War Raiders vs. Psycho Clown/Pagano
The Raiders are challenging and the challengers aren’t getting along very well. The Raiders miss a charge to the floor to start and get taken down by stereo flip dives. Back in and Erik gets double teamed down but comes back with some forearms, allowing Ivar to come in. A big dive takes out Clown on the floor and it’s back to Erik to hammer away. The chinlock goes on for a bit before it’s back to Ivar, who just hits Clown in the face.
Clown fights up and knocks Ivar away, allowing Erik and Pagano to come in. Pagano’s middle rope Codebreaker connects and everything breaks down. Something close to an Emerald Frosion gives Pagano two and it’s back to Clown to slug away on Ivar. A suicide dive hits Erik and a Canadian Destroyer gets two on Ivar. Clown adds a top rope splash for two with Erik having to make the save. Ivar fights up and Clown accidentally clotheslines Pagano. The pop up powerslam to Clown gives the Raiders the titles at 9:13.
Rating: B-. This was about putting the Raiders over as a pair of monsters as they have the WWE experience to make this feel even bigger. At the same time they had to do something to move the Pagano/Clown feud forward. We still don’t know who attacked the Psycho Circus (unless it was supposed to be the Raiders) and there is a good chance we’re going to see those two beat the fire out of each other. They had to drop the titles for that to happen and that was more than covered here.
Post match Pagano and Clown go at it until Pagano walks off, with the Raiders laying Clown out. Pagano teases going in for the ave but walks away.
Here is General Manager Rey Mysterio for a chat. Well not so much a chat as much as he sends us to a package on the main event. The video has a comic book theme and looks at the hero in El Grande Americano against his rival, who clearly doesn’t care about Mexico. That’s how this feud should go and there is a reason why the fans have gotten so far behind Americano. Tonight, one has to go away and that is in the form of a mask vs. mask match. This feels absolutely huge and has been one of the hottest feuds I’ve seen in a minute so well done all around.
El Grande American vs. Original El Grande Americano
Mask vs. Mask, no DQ and we’ll go with Americano and Original for their names. Original comes out to a mariachi band and the fans HATE him. American has his own band and comes out in a jacket saying FOR MEXICO (WELL POR BUT I THREW IN THE TRANSLATION) and is an absolute hero.
We get some Big Match Intros but Original grabs a guitar to knock Americano silly before the bell. Original knocks him around but gets punched into the corner, with a suplex bringing Original right back out of it. The suicide dive hits Original, who is right back with a backdrop. A Death Valley Driver plants Original on the floor though and it’s time for a table. Original tackles him for a save and Americano is sent into the steps.
Something like a reverse Angle Slam drops American on to the floor for two back inside and Original is already frustrated. Original starts ripping at the mask, earning himself an Air Raid Crash from the apron through the table at ringside. Americano spends too much time celebrating though and gets German suplexed on the floor. Back up and Original throws a chair at a barricade, with Americano being knocked down off the crash.
They go back inside with Americano busted open and Original pounding on the cut. A suplex gives Original two and a top rope belly to back superplex drops Americano hard. Another slugout goes to Americano, who runs the ropes and flips over for a Blockbuster. Americano rips at Original’s mask and drops him face first onto the steps. They get back inside so Americano can hammer away and load up a chair in the corner. That takes too long (a trend) and Original gives him a German suplex.
Americano is back up but here are Los Hermanos Americanos to put him through the announcers’ table. A Swan Dive gives Original two so here are Los Americanos to go after Los Hermanos. Bravo hits a big dive from the stands to take the other three out and the fans rather approve again. Back at ringside, Original goes after a blind comedian (who was involved in the feud before) but gets Blockbustered off the apron.
One of the musicians hits Original with a guitar and unmasks as Pimpinela Escarlata. Original is up again at two so let’s get a bullrope. A low blow cuts Americano off and Original whips him with the bullrope, followed by a stomp onto a chair. Cue the former announcer (and Americano’s girlfriend) to cheerlead in the crowd. Original yells at her but she has a ticket, which is enough of a distraction for Americano to come back. A DDT onto the chair gives Americano two so they slug it out again.
Original suplexes him into the corner and hits a moonsault for another near fall. The frustrated Original grabs a chair and unloads on Americano’s ankle, setting up the ankle lock. That’s reversed into the knee in the back choke, which is reversed back into the ankle lock. Americano somehow reverses into a suplex but the ankle gives out again, allowing Original to grab Rolling Chaos Theory for two more. Original’s charge hits the post though and the running headbutt finally gives Americano the pin at 33:20.
Rating: A-. I mean…dang man. This was presented as the ultimate battle between these two and that’s pretty much exactly what we got. It felt like neither of them would allow themselves to lose and Original finally fell in the end. They had a heck of a fight and Americano looks like an absolute hero in the biggest match AAA has had since it came under the WWE banner. Awesome stuff here and it actually lived up to the hype.
Post match everyone gets in the ring and Original says he started on this path to learn everything about lucha libre and beat all of the luchadors. He learned about Mexico and its culture along the way but tonight, he could not overcome the Mexican spirit. From now on, even though he is the original, there is only one Grande Americano.
And he unmasks as Chad Gable, with the point of course being the removal of the mask rather than the identity. He talks about his career and introduces his family before promising to be back in AAA. Gable hands the mask to Americano and leaves to a fairly positive reaction, as the fans appreciate Gable being a man in defeat. Americano celebrates for a good while and leaves to end the show.
Overall Rating: A-. What more do you want out of a show like this? Nothing was close to bad, they changed three titles, and had the huge showdown with a great moment to close it out. I had a great time with this and it absolutely flew by. This was every bit of the hype you could have wanted and I had a blast watching them pay a bunch of stuff off. If you don’t watch AAA, give it a shot with this one, as you’ll have a fun time.

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