FTR lose AAA Tag Team titles at Noche de Campeones

Posted on by Bryan Rose

It wasn’t a good night for AEW wrestlers keeping their AAA titles at Wednesday’s Noche de Campeones event.

The show in Acapulco saw Flammer and Abismo Negro Jr. win the AAA Mixed Tag Team titles, which were declared vacant on Wednesday after the company announced that champions Tay Melo and Sammy Guevara would be stripped of the titles. FTR, who did appear on the show, lost the AAA Tag Team titles to Dralistico and Dragon Lee. The future of the titles remain unclear, however, as Lee announced he had signed with WWE after winning the titles. 

Konnan came out before the Mixed Tag Team title match and announced that the titles would be stripped due to Guevara and Melo making excessive demands, and requested the titles be sent back to Mexico. The match also involved Lady Shani & Octagon Jr. and Kommander & Sexy Star. Guevara and Melo had held the titles for over 241 days, winning them back at the Triplemania XXX show in Monterrey back on April 30.

FTR lost the Tag Team titles to Dralistico and Lee in a match where heel referee Hijo del Tirantes was not allowed to cheat. When he did just that, Konnan came out and ejected him from the match. A new referee came in, allowing Dralistico and Lee to score the win and the titles. FTR had held onto the titles for over 427 days, defeating Fenix and Pentagon Jr. on the October 16, 2021 edition of AEW Dynamite.

Arez additionally became the first La Leyenda Azul champion on Wednesday, defeating Villano III Jr. and Black Taurus in a three-way to become the first champion.

FTR to defend AAA Tag Team titles this December

Posted on by Joseph Currier

FTR are returning to Mexico this December for a AAA Tag Team title defense.

At a press conference on Tuesday, Lucha Libre AAA announced that FTR will defend their AAA Tag Team titles against Dragon Lee & Dralistico in Acapulco, Mexico on Wednesday, December 28. Lee & Dralistico got the title shot by winning a four-way tag match at Triplemania XXX: Mexico City earlier this month.

FTR have been AAA Tag Team Champions since winning the titles from Penta El Zero Miedo & Rey Fenix on AEW Dynamite in October 2021.

FTR are also the current ROH and IWGP Tag Team Champions. On Dynamite this Wednesday, they’re facing Keith Lee & Swerve Strickland in a match where the winning team will earn an AEW Tag Team title shot.

FTR are set for action at NJPW’s Battle Autumn event in Osaka, Japan on Saturday, November 5. Their opponents for that show have yet to be revealed.

The announcement of FTR being in Mexico on December 28 means they’ll miss this year’s New Year’s Smash edition of Dynamite and the tapings for the New Year’s Smash episode of Rampage. AAA’s Dorian Roldan thanked Tony Khan for allowing FTR to come to AAA’s event.

Night of Champions is the theme of the December 28 Lucha Libre AAA event. The show is also set to feature El Hijo del Vikingo defending the AAA Mega Championship against Bandido.
