New number one contender crowned for AAA Cruiserweight Championship

Posted on by Shounak Chakrabarti

A new number one contender was crowned for the AAA Cruiserweight Championship.

In the first match of the night at AAA Noche de Los Grandes week two, fans saw Cruz Del Toro vs. Joaquin Wilde vs. Lince Dorado vs. Mini Vikingo vs. Octagon Jr. compete against each other for earning a shot at the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship.

Following a closely contested fight and a spot that involved Octagon Jr.’s injury, it was Lince Dorado who finalized his spot to challenge for the Cruiserweight title.

The final moments of the match saw tension rise between Wilde and Del Toro, before Dorado interfered and turned their attention toward him. In the end, Dorado dropped a Shooting Star Press on Wilde to keep him down for the three-count and earn the opportunity.

As of now, AAA has yet to confirm the Cruiserweight championship match between Dorado and Rey Fenix.

Fenix had previously won the title from Ladero Kid on the week 1 episode of Noche de Los Grandes.

AAA Noche de Los Grandes week two live results: Rey Mysterio to address AAA

Posted on by Jeff Moss

AAA Noche de los Grandes Week 2 will air tonight on Fox in Latin America and on Facebook and YouTube elsewhere.

Scheduled for tonight’s show is a six-woman tag team match with Lola Vice, Bayley, and La Catalina facing Las Tóxicas (Flammer, La Hiedra, and Maravilla).

There will also be a fatal five-way match for the number one contendership to the AAA Cruiserweight Championship, currently held by Rey Fenix after he defeated Laredo Kid for the belt last week. The five competitors booked for tonight’s match are Mini Vikingo, Octagón Jr., Joaquin Wilde, Cruz Del Toro, and Lince Dorado.

Also scheduled for tonight, Rey Mysterio will address AAA after having been revealed as the promotion’s new general manager last week.

Announced for tonight’s AAA Noche de los Grandes Week 2:

  • Lola Vice, Bayley & La Catalina vs. Las Tóxicas (Flammer, La Hiedra & Maravilla)
  • Mini Vikingo vs. Octagón Jr. vs. Joaquin Wilde vs. Cruz Del Toro vs. Lince Dorado in a number one contender’s match for the AAA Cruiserweight Championship

Rey Mysterio addresses AAA

Our live coverage kicks off at 10 p.m. Eastern.

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

Noche de los Grandes has already paid for itself many times over. Last week, we had what is arguably the match of the year between El Grande Americano and (the former) Original El Grande Americano. A match that was so good, they actually tacked it onto the end of RAW, just to show it off.

Tonight we get a pair of high-level multi-person matches and if I were a betting man (which I’m not) I’d have my money on both of these matches delivering. Plus we get to hear from AAA GM Rey Mysterio Jr, because it just wouldn’t be a WWE show without an extended talking segment and/or authority figure angle.

With all that said and done though, lets tighten our laces and get Noche de los Grandes night two underway!

AAA Cruiserweight Title #1 Contender’s Match: Mini Vikingo vs. Octagón Jr. vs. Joaquin Wilde vs. Cruz Del Toro vs. Lince Dorado

And this is a pretty good way to do it! Laredo Kid lost the Cruiserweight title last week to Rey Fenix, so now we need to know who’s got next!

After a brief scrum off the bell LWO members Wilde and Del Toro double teamed Vikingo, tossing the smallest man in the ring around with suplexes and finally sending him to the outside. When that happened, Wilde tried to roll up Del Toro and steal one, but only got a two count.

Del Toro got a quick pin attempt off of a high flying move, but neither man was able to get one over on the other. Dorado and Octagon came back in and both tried a pin, but neither could get it. Octagon went up top and hit a diving armdrag before Dorado countered a monkey flip.

Dorado dispatched Octagon to the outisde, but that just opened things up for Vikingo to come back in. Dorado got him on his shoulders, but Vikingo countered it into a headscissor takedown. Vikingo used his gymnast-like skills to take down Octagon as well, but Wilde grabbed his ankle from the outside and pulled him to a stop.

Del Toro hit a tornado off the top turnbuckle to take Dorado, Octagon and Wilde down, leaving him one on one with Vikingo. He went for a pop up powerbomb, but Vikingo countered it into a takedown. Dorado hit a double stunner on Wilde and Del Toro, but Wilde hit a DDT on him.

Dorado came back with a brainbuster and then a shooting star press on Wilde. Everyone else was on the outside so he hooked the leg and 1-2-3, Dorado became the #1 Contender to Rey Fenix’s Cruiserweight title.

Match Result: Lince Dorado defeated Mini Vikingo, Octagón Jr, Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro.

-Backstage footage was show of the War Raiders and El Hijo de Vikingo celebrating their title victories from last week. Spoiler: They were stoked.

Rey Mysterio then took questions from “the media” (aka two guys holding cell phones next to his face) about everything happening in AAA. He said:

  • Mask Vs Mask Was awesome.
  • WWE is doing a Latin America tour throughout September.
  • He will be fair when it comes to Dominick Mysterio.
  • Speaking of the AAA Mega Champion, Dominick will appear on the June 20th episode of AAA.
  • Whomever is Mega Champion at the time will defend the title at Triplemania Night two in September.

-Backstage footage from last week was shown of El Grande Americano with Los Americanos thanking his friends and fans for supporting him.

Six-Woman Tag Match: Lola Vice, Bayley & La Catalina vs. Las Tóxicas (Flammer, La Hiedra & Maravilla)

Las Toxicas came down to the ring in a set of cheerleader outfits much to JBL’s excitement. Even though she came out to her “role model” music, it was clear that in Mexico, Bayley is all hugger. Vice and Catalina came out to great ovations and we were ready to go.

Flammer looked to start things off against Catalina but she didn’t want to give the crowd what they wanted, so she tagged in Maravilla instead. She lasted a few minutes before Hiedra came in to face a takedown from Catalina.

Vice tagged in and kicked her way to ta two count. She and Hiedra exchanged blows with Vice coming out on top. Vice used her patented glute-based offense, which brought everyone into the ring. Las Toxicas fell to a triple suplex though and they all went to the outside.

Back in the ring, Hiedra bounced Vice’s head off the turnbuckle, Isolating her in the Toxicas corner. They all tagged in and out, hitting her with strikes and slams. Flammer got a two count off of a meteora and pushed Bayley and Catalina off the ring apron.

Flammer hit vice with a lariat for another two count, then put her in a full nelson/waist lock submission. Vice tossed her through the ropes and got a tag to Bayley who cleared the ring. Hiedra was left to face Bayley and she hit her with a through the rope DDT.

Bayley dropped an elbow from up top, but Maravilla kicked out at two. Las Toxicas came together for a triple team, with Flammer adding a dropkick on to the end of it. Catalina broke up the pin and she and Flammer talked trash while the ref got everyone sorted.

Bayley came back to life and tagged in Catalina officially so she could hit a moonsault from the top rope on Flammer. Maravilla and Hiedra came in and when the dust settled, Maravilla ate a suplex from Bayley.

Catalina and Flammer tagged in and Catalina met her with a hip attack and big running knee. She quickly covered her and got the pin for her tream.

Match Result: Lola Vice, Bayley & La Catalina defeated Las Tóxicas

Will Ospreay responds to criticism comparing his career & AAA mask vs. mask match

Posted on by Shounak Chakrabarti

Will Ospreay has reacted to a critique regarding the comparison between his career and the recent El Grande Americano vs. OG El Grande Americano mask vs. mask match at AAA Noche de Los Grandes.

Ospreay responded to the clip of Wrestling Republic praising the mask vs. mask match where a comparison was made between that and Ospreay’s matches, saying that it will be remembered more.

“Yet 10 years on people still talk about the ricochet match. I still get tagged in the Ibushi rana spot. First British person to ever win the IWGP title. Had Assassins Creed rehire Ezio to narrate me to Wembley,” Ospreay wrote as shared some of his own historic moments.

“And if you can’t remember any of the matches is because people barely remember what happened last week let alone 14 years of consistently being on top my field without ever being promoted by anything from the Fed,” he further continued.

While the British wrestler listed down his own achievements, he also paid his due respect to the mask vs. mask match.

“Mask vs mask was fucking awesome, won’t take anything away from it but I’m in my own lane never trying to compete with anyone but myself. But continue the conversation, I’ll keep myself busy making towns.”

Ben Allison, who previously made the remark, later clarified what he meant and responded to Ospreay’s statement.

“To be clear – I didn’t say it’s more memorable than anything you’ve done, as it simply isn’t, I said I believe in the HISTORY BOOKS in 30 years it’ll be remembered more than any specific match you’ve had up to this point. The ricochet one could easily be argued, but I still think the concept of a mask vs mask match where everyone knew who both guys were under the mask, but it still did the biggest numbers in the history of AAA, will be written about more. As I said, I do STRONGLY believe you are the best in the world right now.

“In the full clip that’s not what I’m saying at all! I’m saying the match will be remember in 30-40 years than any of this generations other top matches including any from Will Ospreay. The reason Ospreay was used is because like I said, I believe he is the best in the world so best example to use,” Allison further clarified.

Sunday Update

CMLL logo
CMLL logo (Image credit: CMLL)

— Bryan and I will be back tonight talking Grande de los Noches, Clash in Italy, Holly Holm, Ray Stevens, Collision, King & Queen of the Ring, Copa Juniors, and assorted other topics with Wrestling Observer Radio.

— I’ll save the talk of today’s show for tonight. I will say that if you have not seen the main event from Noche de los Grandes, you should drop everything and do it as quickly as you can. The Grande Kaiser vs. Grande Gable match is a candidate for best match and a probable winner for best feud of 2026. But that is not the big news from the show.

— The big news is that WWE is now taking direct aim at CMLL, which should surprise nobody. With CMLL announcing its anniversary show for 9/18 at Arena Mexico, WWE has now announced a SmackDown on 9/11, TripleMania on 9/13 and Raw on 9/14 all at Arena Ciudad in Mexico City. Mexico City is the No. 1 pro wrestling market in the world by leaps and bounds, but even that is stretching things. TripleMania should sell out and the anniversary show will sell out, and I think Raw will as well. SmackDown I’m not sure about. But just the fact WWE will book TV in Mexico City, and specify it the week before the anniversary show indicates something that eventually was going to happen, but is happening now. The TripleMania show is traditionally in August and was clearly moved back a month because September is anniversary month, but adding the tapings was something more as WWE had been okay with AAA vs. CMLL, but adding WWE to the mix takes things up. I suspect there will be AEW talent on the CMLL shows both of those weekends.

— At last night’s show they announced the first night of Triplemania would be in Las Vegas at the Luxor Hotel’s HyperX Arena which, depending on the setup, holds 650 to 1,000. Fans in Monterrey last night were mad because they thought they “deserved” it. Why you are doing Triplemania in a building that small is a question for sure.

— The final three-hour episode of SmackDown for the next several months will be on 6/26. Many thought it would be this past weekend. But it is another month. The Braun Strowman Everything on the Menu show will be starting at 11 p.m. until July, when it likely moves to 10 p.m.

— We’re awaiting more of an update on Octagon Jr., who was injured on last night’s show in a match taped for later. But he was hurt significantly.

— Atlantis Jr. was taken off all shows through the end of the month.

— Jacob Fatu was injured in Liverpool on Thursday night. On the broadcast they tried to act like that wasn’t the case. It may play into why today’s match wasn’t nearly as good as the first Roman Reigns vs. Fatu match.

— We’re looking for your thoughts on Clash in Italy and Grande de los Noches from AAA last night. You can leave a thumbs up, thumbs down or thumbs in the middle for each show as well as a best and worst match of each show to [email protected]

— Paul Levesque before the show claimed something would happen on this show that would change the foundation of WWE. I have no idea what he was talking about.

— Nice tribute to Dennis Condrey at last night’s Collision show in Huntsville, AL. Condrey was living in Huntsville when he passed away in March. Bobby Eaton grew up in Huntsville. The Midnight Express was the best tag team of its era.

— For the shows and topics this weekend, here are the Google searches as of earlier today:

Clash in Italy – 52,000
Holly Holm vs. Stephanie Han boxing for the world lightweight title – 22,000
UFC in Macau – 40,000
AAA Grande de los Noches – 10,000
Real American Freestyle – 10,000
Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship – 5,000

— Steveson debuted in RAF last night and beat Alexandr Romanov via tech fall in the second round. Colby Covington beat Chris Weidman 5-4 in the semifinal. FOX Nation did stream the show for free live last night. Steveson challenged both Abdulrashid Sadulaev and Amir Hossein Zare to wrestling matches in RAF.

— With the win, Covington will face Arman Tsarukyan.

— Merab Dvalishvili suffered a broken nose in his tech fall win over Frankie Edgar. The two bonked heads, causing the broken nose. He had just recovered from a broken nose in training.

— For WWE on A&E tonight:

  • 8 p.m. – WWE Rivals on the feud between The Miz and Daniel Bryan
  • 9 p.m. – Seth Rollins vs. Triple H
  • 10 p.m. – LFG featuring Mike Derudder (Dorian Von Dux now) vs. Elio LeFleur
  • 11 p.m. – WWE Greatest Moments on ladder matches
  • 11:30 p.m. – WWE Greatest Moments on Bret Hart

— Best of the Super Juniors updated standings:

A Block

  1. Titan and Master Wato – 10
  2. Jun Kasai, Nick Wayne, Kosei Fujita, Robbie X and Francesco Akira – 8
  3. Ryusuke Taguchi – 6
  4. Valiente Jr. – 4
  5. Daiki Nagai – 0

B Block

  1. El Desperado – 10
  2. Sho, Yoh, Taiji Ishimori and Robbie Eagles – 8
  3. Daisuke Sasaki, Yoshinobu Kanemaru, Hyo and Jakob Austin Young – 6
  4. Kushida – 4

— Dralistico returned to action during the ROH tapings for AEW last night in Huntsville. He teamed with Lee Johnson, Blake Christian and Jay Lethal in a loss to The Outrunners, Dalton Castle and Adam Priest.

— The MVPW show with Han vs. Holm for the title drew the largest combat sports gate in the history of the El Paso County Coliseum, drawing a sellout of 7,000 fans. Many people believe Holm should have won the title and it was another robbery coming off the poor judging in the Oleksandr Usyk vs. Rico Verhoeven heavyweight title fight last week. Holm outlanded Han by a significant margin but two judges gave it 96-94 to Han and one had it 95-95. I’ll probably talk about it either tonight or tomorrow night, but Holm did have a sizable edge in strikes landed.

— Former NFL star Greg Hardy, who fought in UFC for years after his NFL career ended, missed weight by 25 pounds. Hardy weighed 292 pounds and lost via third-round stoppage.

— Villano III Jr. beat Zandokan Jr. Friday night at Arena Mexico to win the Copa Juniors. Atlantis Jr. was to face Villano III Jr. but he’s out with an injury. Very good match, many called it the best of the weekend. It wasn’t for experimenting with flashy moves, but that’s not all of pro wrestling. It did have great heat as well.

— Jushin Liger will be appearing for TMart Promotions at The Gathering from 7/22 to 7/26 in Charlotte, NC at the Hilton University Place. Liger will be there on 7/26.

— 72-year-old Tony Atlas won the ISPW Tri-State Championship in a tag team match last night in Wallington, NJ. Atlas and Joe Clean beat Anthony and Angel Reyez, and if Anthony was pinned he would lose the title. Atlas will defend the title on 7/23 in Wildwood, NJ.

Octagon Jr. likely to be out several months following injury at AAA taping | Exclusive

Posted on by Shounak Chakrabarti

One of AAA’s top stars, Octagon Jr. recently had to be stretchered out at Noche de Los Grandes following a top rope botch.

Just hours after the mishap, our Bryan Alvarez reported that Octagon Jr.’s MRI came back good. “He will likely be out several months but could have been much worse,” wrote Alvarez.

The botch took place when Octagon Jr faced Cruz Del Toro, Joaquin Wilde, Lince Dorado, and Mini Vikingo in a fatal five-way match for Noche de Los Grandes Night Two taping on June 6, 2026.

Midway through the match, after Wilde performed a top rope DDT on Octagon Jr., fans saw the latter drop flat on his neck and seemingly injure it. The referee present in the ring immediately held up the “X” sign, following which the 35-year-old had to be stretchered out.

AAA Noche de Los Grandes Night One was filled with three title matches, where three new champions were crowned. The final match of the night saw El Grande Americano defeat and unmask the original El Grande Americano, which turned out to be Chad Gable.

Next week, apart from the fatal five-way match, La Catalina, Bayley, and Lola Vice will team together to face Las Toxicas (Flammer, La Hiedra, and Maravilla).

AAA star stretchered out following top rope botch

Posted on by Shounak Chakrabarti

Top AAA star Octagon Jr. had to be stretchered out following a scary top rope botch during Noche de Los Grandes 2026.

Week 1 of the Lucha Libre AAA Noche de Los Grandes took place at the Arena Monterrey in Monterrey. After the scheduled four matches of the night, AAA also taped another multi-man match.

Cruz Del Toro, Joaquin Wilde, Lince Dorado, Mini Vikingo, and Octagon Jr. faced each other in a fatal five-way match. The taped match will air in the second week of Noche de Los Grandes on June 6, 2026.

However, mid-way through the bout, Wilde executed a top rope DDT on Octagon Jr. However, Octagon Jr. landed awkwardly on the mat from the top rope.

Octagon Jr. landed flat on his neck, as Wilde immediately checked out Octagon Jr. Shortly after, fan videos from the arena started going viral online, showing the exact spot.

Octagon Jr. has seemingly suffered a serious neck injury and had to be taken out on a stretcher in the middle of the match. As of now, no official update has been shared on his injury or recovery status.

Chad Gable, The Undertaker, more comment on AAA Noche de Los Grandes

Posted on by Ian Carey

Several people have commented on last night’s El Grande Americano mask vs. mask match at Arena Monterrey.

El Grande Americano, the Ludwig Kaiser version, defeated the original El Grande Americano at AAA Noche de los Grandes on Saturday night. The original Americano then unmasked to reveal himself as Chad Gable.

Since the end of last night’s show, several people have been commenting online about it.

Gable wrote:

“Tonight the mask died.
And suddenly I feel more ALIVE than ever.”

An hour later, Gable posted to Instagram again, this time captioning his post with:

“In lucha libre, some moments live forever.
Tonight was one of them.”

The Undertaker wrote:

“An incredible battle to become the one and the only.”

Dave Meltzer wrote:

“If you haven’t watched the Chad Gable vs. Kaiser match, you really should stop whatever you are doing and watch it now. One of the great match presentations of all-time.”

Bryan Alvarez wrote to his subscribers on X:

“This mask match presentation is incredible“

“Kaiser was so massively over and in storyline it was his night. But in real life, this was really Gable’s night to shine.“

“Crowd chanted, “THANK YOU GABLE”, he vowed to return to AAA someday, and presented his mask to Kaiser“

“Chad gave a great speech after the match before unmasking, saying he would always be the original El Grande, but after tonight, Kaiser was the ONLY El Grande. His whole family was in the ring with him. He then unmasked, gave his name and bio and introduced his family.“

Marisela Pena called the event a “magical night,” writing:

“A MAGICAL night, the NIGHT OF THE GREAT ONES
Thanks to all the fans who filled Arena Monterrey and to the fans from all over the World who followed the broadcast on @somos_FOX, YouTube and Facebook”

Chad Gable unmasks following emotional AAA Noche de Los Grandes match

Posted on by Bryan Rose

There is now only one El Grande Americano.

The second El Grande Americano defeated the Original Americano, who was later confirmed to be Chad Gable, in an emotionally intense match Saturday at AAA Noche de los Grandes. During the match, which lasted over 30 minutes, there were numerous callback spots from their long-running feud. Comedian Alexis Arroyo, who is blind, attacked the Original with his walking cane after Original attacked him earlier in the year. Pimpinela Escarlata, who Original also attacked, returned to take out Original.

Towards the end of the match, the second Americano’s girlfriend, Andrea Bazarte, appeared in the crowd holding a ticket. Original only agreed to the mask vs. mask match under the condition that she was fired from AAA.

The closing moments of the match had Original, who at this point was a bloody mess, batter Americano’s knee with a steel chair, going for an ankle lock. After fighting out of the submission, Americano launched off the ropes and connected with his running headbutt, finally securing the victory.

Surprise, it was Chad Gable

After the match, Original told the crowd that he put on his mask to prove how much he hated lucha libre and luchadors. It pained him to say this, but he could not overcome the Mexican spirit. He told Americano he’d always be the original Americano, but for now on, he would be the only Americano.

Original Americano then unmasked to reveal himself as Gable. He went over his career before introducing his family. He said he didn’t know when or where, but someday he’d be back in AAA. Fans chanted ‘thank you Gable’ as he handed the mask to Americano.

After Gable left, Americano was raised up by Bravo and Rayo Americano. Once he was back on his feet, he embraced Bazarte as confetti fell and they kissed. ‘Cielito Lindo’ began to play again as the fans joined in to sing along. The show went off the air with Americano posing at the entranceway, pyro going off.

New Tag Team Champions crowned at AAA Noche de Los Grandes, Pagano turns against Psycho Clown

Posted on by Shounak Chakrabarti

The War Raiders (Erik & Ivar) are the new AAA World Tag Team Champions.

Every title match on Night One of AAA Noche de Los Grandes has witnessed a new champion get crowned. The event began with Rey Fenix winning the Cruiserweight title, followed by El Hijo del Vikingo winning the Latin American Championship. And in the third match of the night, The War Raiders defeated Pagano and Psycho Clown to win the AAA World Tag Team titles in a nine-minute match.

In recent weeks, tensions between Pagano and Psycho Clown reached new heights. And tonight, those same tensions caused an end to their title reign. The War Raiders picked up the victory after a certain miscommunication.

The closing moments saw Pagano accidentally clothesline Psycho Clown, before Erik & Ivar took advantage of the momentum and pinned Psycho Clown to take home the victory. However, things took a new turn after the bout.

As Pagano walked off the stage, Clown was attacked by The War Raiders. Despite in a spot to help out his partner, Pagano decided to turn his back on him and walk out. As of now, no official statement has been shared regarding the status of their team.

Rey Fenix has won the Cruiserweight Championship at AAA Noche de los Grandes.

For the past few weeks, Fenix and Laredo Kid have been actively feuding in AAA. Despite Fenix’s victory over Kid earlier this month, Kid managed to retain his title against Fenix last week through the use of a low blow.

However, shortly after, it was announced that Kid would defend his title against Fenix at AAA Noche de los Grandes. In the opening match of the May 30, 2026 edition of Noche de los Grandes, Fenix defeated Kid and won the title.

The two engaged in an extremely closely fought battle. While Fenix blocked an initial low blow from Kid, he later received one when the referee was distracted by an exposed turnbuckle. However, Fenix still managed to continue the match.

The closing moments of the bout saw Fenix put Laredo Kid away with a Mexican Muscle Buster to become the new AAA World Cruiserweight Champion. Kid held the title since December 2024. Fenix had previously held the title from 2022 to 2023 before having to relinquish it. The title win at Noche de los Grandes also marked Fenix’s first singles title win since leaving AEW in 2025.
