Triplemania in December, AAA presents
Rey de Reyes this Saturday.
Rey de Reyes is one of AAA’s signature events and the last big show before
Triplemania, which is expected to take place in front of a live crowd in August or September. Saturday’s show will emanate from a closed venue, and people can view it live on Space TV Mexico.
Outside of Mexico, this should be posted within a month on YouTube and Facebook. Unfortunately for wrestling fans, AAA is currently unable to stream its live shows in the United States. This is due to an ongoing lawsuit with Lucha Libre FMV, which owned Lucha Underground and was connected with Dorian Roldan, who is the General Director of AAA and whose family owns the company; Roldan had been one of LLFMV’s owners, but stepped away from the company. LLFMV claims it has permanent rights to AAA globally outside Mexico, which AAA disputes.
– This week’s edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter has some details on a women’s match that was originally planned for December’s AAA TripleMania 28 event between Taya Valkyrie and Lady Shani. According to the report, Taya withdrew from the match due to travel concerns to Mexico with the COVID-19 pandemic.
The women’s matchup for the card was then changed to a six-woman tag team match, which would feature Faby Apache, Shani, Lady Maravilla, Chik Tormenta, Hiedra, and Hades. Ultimately, the women’s match at the event became the inaugural Copa Triplemanía Femenil, which featured Lady Shani, Lady Maravilla, Hades, Big Mami, Pimpinela Escarlata, Mamba, Chik Tormenta, Faby Apache, and La Hiedra. Lady Shani won the match by last eliminating Lady Maravilla.
Triplemania XXVIII takes place tonight in Mexico City.
AAA’s biggest event of the year will be held under different circumstances this year. The show was moved from August to December, and there will be no crowd due to COVID-19 restrictions.
The main event will have Pagano and Chessman battle it out in a hair vs. hair match. The co-main event will feature AAA Mega champion Kenny Omega defend the title for the first time this year, taking on Laredo Kid.
A special trios match featuring Marvel characters will also take place. Leyanda Americana (Captain America) and Arcano (Spider-Man) will battle Terror Purpura (Thanos) and Venenoide (Venom).

AAA’s biggest night of the year was a rousing success.
Triplemania XXVIII was highly enjoyable from beginning to end. Three matches stood out above rest. Kenny Omega and Laredo Kid put on a classic, Pagano and Chessman went to the extreme in hair vs hair, and the Lucha Bros needed heroics from Pentagon to retain their tag titles.
Let’s start with the triple threat contest for the AAA Tag Team Championship before running through the rest of the show.
Fenix and Pentagon made their way back to Mexico to defend the AAA tag titles against Texano Jr. & Rey Escorpion and Myzteziz Jr. & Octagon Jr. Thanks to Pentagon’s heroic comeback, the gold remains with the Lucha Bros.
