Our live coverage begins immediately following WWE Elimination Chamber.

*************

All right my friends, unless someone in a black track suit shows up, we are (finally) off and running with AAA!

El Greende Americano (I can’t believe it took me so long to think of that) was shown as one of the many wrestlers arriving to work in a traditional opening segment after a quick recap of last week’s Vikingo/Mysterio contract signing. It went fine.

The show began proper and el Greende Americano came to the ring. He grabbed a mic and the crowd sang and chanted for him a lot. He said it was great to be back home and told the crowd they needed to talk about that “fraud,” referring to the OG Americano. Greende accused OG of having to use AI in his video last week because he doesn’t know how to speak Spanish.

Greende then threw to roving reporter Pimpinela Escarlata. Escarlata went to OG’s dressing room and spoke to OG. He used rudimentary spanish like “bueno” and Escarlata accused him of not knowing any Spanish and then beat up Escarlata until security had to pull him off. Then it cut to commercial ending a very, very strange segment.

More technical difficulties from Mexico had us come back to some audio over a black screen, then a quick recap of last week’s Crusierwieght title match between TJ Perkins and the champion, the Laredo Kid. Spoiler, Kid won. So that means we need a new #1 Contender!

AAA World Cruiserweight Championship No 1. Contender’s Match: Dragon Lee vs. Jack Cartwheel

You might remember Dragon Lee from hanging out with AJ Styles. You might remember Jack Cartwheel from the cartwheeling.

The match kicked off with a handshake and a tie up. Lee sent Cartwheel to the corner but he was able to flip out and they traded wristlocks. Cartheel came off the ropes with the flippin’ and the floppin’ and took Lee down with a headscissor.

They ran through some chain moves and Lee went for a Ligerbomb, but Cartwheel got out of it and Lee took a moment on the outside. That let Cartwheel fly over the top rope onto him and throw him back in the ring.

Cartwheel went to do a spin through the ropes (kind of a reverse 619 or 916 as it were) and Lee kicked him right in the face. Cartwheel crumpled and Lee brought him back in for a two count. Lee got to his feet and threw some punches.

He charged Cartwheel who countered with a spanish fly, but could only get a two count. Lee came back with a high knee and they traded superkicks. Cartwheel hit a suplex and then a stunner, but Lee got him with a sit out Liger bomb and somehow Catwheel kicked out.

Cartwheel hit a superkick and poisonrana before going up top for an incredible springboard twisting phoenix splash, but Lee kicked out at 2.8.

Cartwheel went back up but Lee caught him off the jump and hit a Styles Clash, but not even that could put Cartwheel down for three. Lee went up top, but Cartwheel cut him off with a flipping kick, hanging him up on the turnbuckle.

They fought to the top rope and Cartwheel went for a hurricanrana from the top, but Lee countered it with a doublestomp to the heart a dropkick into the turnbuckle. He hit Operation Dragon and that was it. Lee wins and becomes #1 Contender for Laredo Kid’s Cruiserweight Title.

Match Result: Dragon Lee defeated Jack Cartwheel

After the match, Lee grabbed a mic and thanked the crowd. Suddenly, TJ Perkins arrived in his questionable jacket and said that Laredo Kid cheated in their match, implying that he’s the real #1 Contender. Lee invited him to step into the ring about it and then Laredo Kid came down and all three brawled, until Cartwheel got back up and cleared the ring of all three. Perhaps they will solve this in a four-way match, fatally.

-Backstage a man who was absolutely a real doctor said something really fast in Spanish about the status of Pimpinela Escarlata, who was beaten up by OG Grande Americano. Unfortunately, there was no translation or caption, but hopefully after the commercial break things will be clearer.

-Back from said break, Vikingo, Omos and Dorian were shown standing on a balcony. Vikingo said that Omos will win his match tonight and Rey de Reyes, and Vikingo will win the AAA Mega Championship from Dominick Mysterio. BUT, that means they will have to face each other!

Dorion said not to worry, he has had a plan for a long time and it’s going swimmingly. Next week, Vikingo will have a warm up match, Omos will win tonight and everything is going according to the plan that Dorion has been laying out.

-Back stage, we got our update as Greende Americano was shown assisting EMT’s putting Pimpinela Escarlata into an ambulance. Pimpinela begged Greende to take their place in the match and win it. Greende agreed and then:

Rey de Reyes Fatal 4-Way Qualifying Match: El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. vs. Pimpinela Escarlata vs. Omos vs. Ethan Page

Became:

Rey de Reyes Fatal 4-Way Qualifying Match: El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. vs. El Grande Americano (Green) vs. Omos vs. Ethan Page

Now that was a journey! Honestly, kudos to AAA for telling more story in one hour-long episode than other promotions do in a 3-hour event. It’s really fun to watch.

A few weeks ago, the OG Americano took out Greende Americano in what was to be his Rey de Reyes qualifying match. OG took his place and won. Now Greende has replaced someone in another qualifier and has a chance to face off with OG at Rey de Reys. Ain’t wresting grande? er, grand?

Anyway, the match started and Page immediatly bailed from the ring. Omos took over, taking out Americano and Wagner. Page came back in and tried to make friends with Omos, even laying a performatory beat down on Wagner and Americano. Omos didn’t buy it though and flattened him with a big boot.

Wagner and Americano tried to suplex Omos, but Omos shrugged them off and dropped Americano onto Wagner. The crowd for this was very happy and very LOUD, by the way.

Americano tried to go at Omos solo, but that didn’t work. Omos threw some massive elbows and side slammed him before turning his attention to Wagner. He dropped him snake eyes on the turnbuckle then sent him flying with a big boot.

Omos went for a cover, but Page broke it up. Omos grabbed him by the throat, allowing Americano to jump on his back to try a sleeper. Wagner tried a front headlock and Omos stayed on his feet, holding them up. Page charged and Omos kicked him down WHILE STILL HOLDING THE OTHER TWO IN THE AIR!

“This looks like a child playing with action figures!” – Corey Graves

Omos stepped out of the ring to throw page over an announce table and Grande treid to dive on him, but Omos caught him in mid air and dropped him. Page tried to take out Omos’ eyes, and Wagner hit a suicida, staggering Omos for the first time.

Omos slumped over the steps, and Page and Americano jumped back into the ring to try and get a pin on each other. Americano tried to walk the ropes but Page pulled him into a tree of woe for some stomps. Page hit a powerslam and went for a pin, but Wagner came crashing down with a frog splash and broke it up. He tried a cover on Page, but only got two.

Wagner blasted Page with an exposed elbow, but Page fought back with a superkick. He started messing with Wagner’s mask, but Americano returned and dropkicked him. Americano hit a clothesline from the top rope and Omos rose like the Ghost of Christmas Past and got back in the ring.

Americano threw everything he had at him and Omos was not at 100%. Americano tried to dump him over the ropes, but needed Wagner’s help to do it. Omos crumbled, taking them out with him. Omos went to punch Americano, but he ducked and Omos hit his arm on the ringpost.

Wagner and Americano got back in the ring and started throwing hands. Americano got a rolling senton on Wagner, but Page returned and threw Americano out of the ring, tying to steal one. Wanger kicked out though and hit a Wagner driver on Page, but Santos Escobar showed up and pulled Wagner out to brawl. Look for them to have a match later, as they fought up the ramp and into the back.

In the ring, Page and Americano fought on the apron with Americano getting the upper hand until Omos grabbed them both by the throat. Suddenly, Rayo and Bravo Americano showed up and long sotry short, they handcuffed Omos to the ring post!

That gave Greende Americano a chance to load up his mask charge Page. Page booted him, but Americano countered with a surfboard! Page tapped, but in the melee the ref had gotten knocked out!.

Suddenly, OG Americano arrived to taunt Greende. Rayo and Bravo attacked, but OG fought them off. IN the ring, Page grabbed Greende and hit a powerbomb. The ref came to and counted 1-2-NO! Greende kicked out!

Then La Parka showed up and took out OG, giving Greende a chance to nail Page with the loaded headbutt and pin him to get the victory and qualify for Rey de Reyes!

Match Result: El Grande Americano (Green) defeated El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr., Omos and Ethan Page

To close things out, I’d just like to say THAT WAS AWESOME! (clap-clap clap-clap-clap)

AAA will present a taped episode of AAA on FOX tonight.

The show, the sixth under the promotion’s new media rights deal, was taped on February 7 in Santiago de Querétaro, Mexico.

The AAA World Cruiserweight Championship will be on the line, with Laredo Kid defending against former WWE Cruiserweight Classic winner and former WWE Cruiserweight Champion T.J. Perkins.

In singles action, El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. will face Belcegor, while Abismo Negro Jr. takes on El Fiscal.

The show will also feature a contract signing segment involving AAA Mega Champion Dominik Mysterio and El Hijo del Vikingo. Mysterio is set to defend the title against Vikingo at Rey de Reyes 2026 on March 14 in Puebla, Mexico.

Tonight’s episode will be the final broadcast from the Santiago de Querétaro tapings. Next week, AAA on FOX will air live from the Showcenter Complex in Monterrey, Mexico.

Our live coverage begins at 9 p.m. Eastern.

**********

It’s another night of Luchadore action from Mexico featuring the most unpredictable and dreaded confrontation in professional wrestling: The Contract Signing.

I’m going to go right out onto this limb and predict that it doesn’t go as planned.

Footage of Dominick Mysterio arriving to work was shown, along with footage of Vikingo and Omos just chilling in the parking lot.

AAA Latin American Championship Match: El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. (c) vs. Belcegor

Wagner came to the ring and grabbed a mic. He addressed the crowd and Rey Mysterio translated for us rubes. Wagner said that he would take on anyone, but he knows who wants his title. He said that he wanted to defend his title against the “Wagnermaniacs” and he called out anyone from the back. The challenge was answered by Belcegor.

Belcegor sent Wagner into the corner off the top and hit him with a dropkick. He sent Wagner to the mat with a lariat. He then laid him out across the ropes for a neckbreaker, keeping control of the match. Belcegor laid in a few kicks and that seemed to wake up Wagner.

Wagner came off the ropes with a head butt and then chopped Belcegor to the mat. He sent him tot he corner and landed a step up knee and a death valley driver, but only a two count. Wagner lifted Belcegor up on his shoulders for a drop down powerbomb and that was it. Wagner gets the victory.

Match Result: El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. defeated Belcegor

After the match Wagner got back on the mic and called out Santos Esobar. Escobar appeared on the videotron, reminding Wagner that he wasn’t in Mexico tonight. He said that their match will happen on his terms.

AAA Cruiserweight Championship Match: Laredo Kid (c) vs. T.J. Perkins

Laredo has held the Crusierweight title for over 400 days at this point and TJP has been wearing short pants for all of them (I presume).

The match started with TJP going for a wristlock, trying to get the technical advantage. They flipped around and traded wristlocks untl Laredo got TJP in a head scissor. TJP worked himself out of it and the two took a second to reset.

TJP sent Laredo off the ropes who came back with a headscissor takedown. They moved tot he outside where TJP bonked Laredo off the announce table. They climbed to the apron and Laredo laid TJP out with a big punch, but TJP came back with a dropkick.

TJP worked Laredo over in the corner, including a running boot to the face. TJP hit a backbreaker for a two count and then put on a headlock. He then started messing with Laredo’s mask before sending him to the corner. When he charged, Laredo moved and hit a missile dropkick.

TJP went to the outside, but Laredo followed with a dive. Laredo set him up in the corner for a big forearm and then put him on the top turnbuckle. TJP knocked him off the turnbuckle, but Laredo moved to avoid the splash.

Perkins tried to steal one with a handfull of tights, but the Ref saw it and called it off. Laredo then rolled up TJP and the ref counted three, but TJP had his hand on the ropes! The ref didn’t see it though and Laredo was declared the winner.

Match Result: Laredo Kid defeated T.J. Perkins

After the match, TJP dropkicked Laredo to the outside and then sent him into the steel steps. He laid Laredo out on them and punched him repeatedly. The ref tried to stop it, but TJP grabbed the title belt and smashed Laredo in the face with it. He then set up Laredo and stomped his head onto the steps again.

El Fiscal vs. Abismo Negro

This is a grudge match with a capital grudge as El Fiscal and Negro have included lots and lots of fire in their matches so far.

The two started brawling right off the top with Fiscal being sent to the outside. Fiscal was pulled down by Negro via ankle and Negro sent him flying into the stairs. Fiscal crawled around the side of the ring but negro was waiting for him and thew punches across the barricade, and laid a few into his gut just for good measure.

Fiscal countered though and sent Negro into the opposite steps smashing his shoulder against them. Fiscal then started clearing off the announce table, which is we all know from watching professional wrestling means that he’s setting up a nice dinner.

In reality though, Fiscal grabbed Negro by the noggin punched him a bunch of times, setting him up for a table spot. The ref finally got involved and tried to stop Fiscal who threw him into the side of the ring apron. By doing so, Fiscal actually got himself disqualified and the bell rang ending the match.

Match Result: Abismo Negro defeated El Fiscal via DQ

They weren’t done though as Negra was still laid out over the announce table. Security came down to the ring and if you’ve ever watched professional wrestling you know there is no more inept group in the world than WWE sponsored Security Forces.

They failed to stop Fiscal getting up on the table but they did stop him when he tried to pile drive Negro through it. After being pulled off the table, Negro came back to life and swept Fiscal’s ankle leaving him lying on said table.

Security tried to take Negro to the back and Fiscal got back in the ring, only to dive over the top rope to take out the security guards holding Negro back. Negro started punching Fiscal and the two brawled all the way up the ramp while roughly 17 security guards could do absolutely nothing to pull these two apart. Fiscal started punching Negro up against the ring apron and finally enough security arrived to break them apart.

But, no! Fiscal and Negro started brawling a third time but security managed to separate them. Fiscal went back into the ring and dropped his straps which is wrestling code for “I’m getting real serious now.”

Security took Negro to the back but Fiscal remained in the ring calling for him to come down to fight, while some more security knelt at the side of the ring begging Fiscal not to do anything rash. Fiscal took that opportunity to pose for a minute.

-Backstage El Hijo de Dr Wagner Jr was interviewed on his way out of the arena but before he could say too much, he was attacked from behind by Santos Escobar who was in fact, in Mexico, despite what he’d had us believe earlier.

-Next up was the dreaded contract signing, the most dangerous segment in all of professional wrestling between AAA Mega Champion Dominic Mysterio and El Hijo de Vikingo. They’re set to face each other at Rey de Reyes but first, the paperwork.

Desks and chairs were set up in the ring as both wrestlers made their way down, Mysterio getting the much bigger pop but the Vikingoo having the much bigger friend in Omos. 

Dominic said he’d be Mega Champion for a very long time. He said that he’s going to hold the Mega Championship so long that no one will be able to think of anyone but him when they look at it. Mysterio called Vikingo a “cockroach that wouldn’t die” and promised that when he beats him, he’ll never get another shot as long as Mysterio is champion. 

Vikingo said that he only needs one opportunity to humiliate Mysterio and he’s going to do it. When he wins the Mega Championship, Mysterio must leave Mexico and AAA forever, which I really don’t think he has the authority to do, but it sounds good. He then said that their match would be No DQ. 

Mysterio signed his side of the paper and Vikingo celebrated, calling him an idiot. Vikingo said that he’s going to enjoy beating Mysterio and will show him what’s going to happen to him at Rey de Reyes. 

The scene switched to a hospital where Dr. Vikingo entered the room of the wrestler formerly known as Mini Vikingo, who was laid up in a neck brace after a beating from Omos. Vikingo started beating him up (the hospital must employ the same security guards) and Vikingo threw him out of the bed and said that Mysterio would take his spot at Rey De Reyes. 

Back in the arena, Mysterio said congratulations to Vikingo for beating up a kid. He then said they could just have their match now and Omos stepped in between them. Mystero backed into the corner, but who should come to his rescue? El Grande Americano! The green one!

Americano hit Omos with a chair, but it didn’t even phase the giant. Mysterio slipped out of the ring and started walking up the ramp with Americano when OG Americano arrived to take out Americano Green. Mysterio didn’t do anything to help him and the show ended.
