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.

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.
