Bayley reflects on surprise AAA debut
The crossover of wrestlers from the WWE main roster to Lucha Libre AAA continued last weekend with Bayley making her surprise AAA debut.
Bayley competed at the March 14 event in Puebla, Mexico, answering Flammer’s challenge for the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship. On Raw Recap this week, Bayley reflected on the moment, calling it an an honor to be chosen to represent WWE and face someone of Flammer’s stature.
“That was the best. I love wrestling in Mexico,” Bayley said. “That’s the thing, you can’t ever be content or comfortable. I just want to do more and I want to meet more people, I want to perform in front of more people. And the fact that I got asked to do that was an honor. For one thing, it’s one of their biggest shows of the year and against one of their, the Women’s Champion who just broke a record and became the longest-reigning Women’s Champion. To me, that’s a huge honor and is a little tip of the cap to me. It’s hard in this business to actually keep it a secret, so I was very excited to be able to hide from everybody and really show up where literally nobody knew I was there.”
Bayley was grateful for how the audience responded and emphasized that the promotion itself doesn’t matter as long as she gets to do what she loves — and that’s wrestling.
“I was personally very overwhelmed by the response, and it just made everything so worth it,” she said. “I could be upset about the loss and those little cheaters [Maravilla and La Hiedra], who I’m not going to let them get away with. I have their numbers. But that is what was most important to me that no matter what, everywhere in the world, people recognize how much and what I feel about this and that I don’t care if I do it here, I don’t care if I do it there, I don’t care if I do it in TNA. I care about this and I will always give my whole heart to them. They will always get the real me.”
When asked about the difference between WWE-dedicated audiences and those who have been exposed to lucha libre, Bayley responded:
“It’s one of those things where I love lucha libre. I’ve always been a fan of AAA. One of my trainers from back home, his name is Jason Styles, is a huge fan, would constantly reference AAA as we were training. He was very, very into lucha. And so when he found out that I was on it, he really freaked out.
“So for my old trainer to freak out about me being able to wrestle for this company and to see how it’s mixed into, now that WWE is a part of it as well. To watch them keep this true spirit of lucha libre and what that company means to Mexico but also bring in the WWE audience and the superstars and the people backstage, and give that little spin on it. I couldn’t talk about it enough. I was in the back, this is just the perfect combination of what I love, you know, the stories, the characters, the physicality, and the crowd. The real thing was them, the audience, getting so excited for every little thing and not overthinking what wrestling should be.”
AAA was acquired by WWE in 2025 and now has a television deal with Fox Latin America. Flammer, who retained against Bayley at Rey de Reyes, has been the company’s Women’s Champion since August 2023.
In her WWE career, Bayley is already a Grand Slam Champion and is seeking to add more accolades to her list of accomplishments. She mentioned on Raw Recap that she would like to win the Women’s Tag Team titles with Lyra Valkyria, along with going after the Women’s Intercontinental and United States titles. She challenge for the IC title on Raw last night but lost to AJ Lee.
AAA Rey de Reyes preview & predictions: Will Dominik Mysterio leave AAA forever?
Arguably one of the biggest AAA Mega Championship matches of all time takes place in Puebla tonight.
On the show, Dominik Mysterio will defend the title against former champion El Hijo del Vikingo. The stipulation is that if Dominik successfully retains, Vikingo will no longer be able to challenge for the Mega title for as long as Dominik remains champion. However, if Dominik loses, he will be forced to leave AAA forever.
Below are previews, predictions, and betting odds for each match scheduled for Rey de Reyes 2026:
Dominik Mysterio defends the AAA Mega Championship against El Hijo del Vikingo
For a long time leading up to this match, Dominik Mysterio had been a slight betting favorite at -125, with Vikingo at -115. However, there has been significant movement in the odds over the last day since those numbers were published in Friday’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter. The current odds now list Vikingo at -400 and Dominik at +250, indicating that money has come in heavily on Vikingo.
If the match goes the way oddsmakers expect, tonight would mark Dominik Mysterio’s final night in AAA.
I’m going against the oddsmakers here. I just don’t believe The Undertaker, Jeremy Borash, and the creative team at AAA are going to write Dominik out of the promotion. That doesn’t seem likely to me, regardless of where the betting line stands. I’m predicting Dominik pulls off the upset and retains the title.
Prediction: Dominik Mysterio retains
Rey de Reyes Final: Santos Escobar vs. La Parka vs. El Grande Americano vs. The Original El Grande Americano
In the Rey de Reyes final, Santos Escobar currently has the top odds at even, followed by La Parka at +200, El Grande Americano at +250, and the original El Grande Americano at +300.
This is a match that could realistically go any of four ways. The two Americanos could end up canceling each other out, and Escobar is currently involved in a program with El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr., which could also factor into the outcome.
I’m going to go a bit outside the box and pick La Parka here. The existing storylines involving the other three competitors could open the door for him to steal the victory and earn a shot at the Mega Championship.
Prediction: La Parka
AAA Reina de Reinas Champion Flammer defends in an Open Challenge
Odds for this match were only recently released and list the challenger as a -260 favorite against Flammer at +170, despite the fact that we don’t know who the challenger will be.
It feels likely the challenger will be someone with WWE experience. Nattie (FKA Natalya) recently challenged for the title, so it seems unlikely she would be the choice again, and Chelsea Green is injured so it’s likely going to be a face we haven’t seen in AAA before.
I’m not sure I agree that Flammer will lose this title soon. I mean, she’s in the WWE 2K26 video game released this week, you can’t take the title off her now! I’ve also already picked two AAA names to lose their titles to a WWE person, so I’m feeling as though Flammer is actually the right pick.
Prediction: Flammer
AAA World Tag Team Champions Pagano & Psycho Clown defend against The War Raiders
It’s clowns vs. vikings as The War Raiders are -165 favorites over Pagano and Psycho Clown (+120) in the AAA World Tag Team title match. There has been some dissension brewing within the Psycho Circus, as someone has been going around attacking clowns recently, with suspicion falling on Pagano.
That tension amongst the clowns could very well create an opening for Erik and Ivar to capture the titles.
Prediction: The War Raiders win the titles
AAA World Cruiserweight Champion Laredo Kid defends against Dragon Lee, Jack Cartwheel, and TJ Perkins
The AAA Cruiserweight Championship will also be on the line at Rey de Reyes. Dragon Lee currently has the best odds at -150, followed by Jack Cartwheel at +150. Champion Laredo Kid sits at +250, with TJ Perkins at +400.
I tend to agree with the oddsmakers here. Dragon Lee appears to be the most likely wrestler to walk away with the title.
Prediction: Dragon Lee wins the title
Penta to kick off AAA Rey de Reyes 2026
An appearance by WWE Intercontinental Champion Penta will be kicking off AAA Rey de Reyes 2026.
It was already known that Penta would be in Puebla, Mexico for the event and presenting the Rey de Reyes winner with their ceremonial sword. It’s now been announced that Penta will be opening the broadcast as well.
Penta será el encargado de iniciar #AAAReyDeReyes este sábado 8 pm por Fox y Fox One 👏@luchalibreaaa pic.twitter.com/S0X97n6LtS
— Marisela Peña (@MPenaAAA) March 12, 2026
The event is taking place this Saturday and will see La Parka, Original El Grande Americano (Chad Gable), El Grande Americano (Ludwig Kaiser), and Santos Escobar face off to determine the Rey de Reyes tournament winner. Along with the sword, the winner receives a future AAA Mega Championship shot.
Dominik Mysterio is the current AAA Mega Champion and has a title defense against El Hijo del Vikingo at Rey de Reyes. If Vikingo loses, he cannot challenge for the title again while Dominik is champion.
Until recently, Dominik had been a double champion, holding both the AAA Mega Championship and WWE Intercontinental title. Penta dethroned him for the latter belt on the March 2 episode of Raw.
Rey de Reyes is being broadcast as a multi-week special, airing on Fox Latin America in Mexico, Central America, and South America (except for Brazil). It will air on YouTube for viewers outside of those regions. The lineup for week one this Saturday includes the Rey de Reyes final, Dominik vs. Vikingo, and an open challenge by AAA Reina de Reinas Champion Flammer.
Lucha Libre AAA postpones Rey de Reyes 2020
The latest major show postponement is AAA’s Rey de Reyes event which was scheduled for next Saturday (March 21) in Merida on the Yucatan Peninsula.
This was the show set to be headlined by the first match ever between the Psycho Circus (the reunited Psycho Clown, Murder Clown & Monsther Clown) and La Faccion Ingobernable (Rush, LA Park & Bestia del Ring).
Kenny Omega was to defend the AAA Mega Heavyweight Championship against Laredo Kid, and Michael Nakazawa, Dezmond Xavier, Zachary Wentz, Pentagon Jr., and Fenix, all based in the United States were to appear on the show. Omega was questionable because of his broken finger while at this time it would be difficult to ensure that the others would be able to come and return.
This was scheduled to be Omega’s third defense of the Mega Heavyweight title since winning it from Fenix in October.
At this point CMLL has canceled both tomorrow and Tuesday’s show in Guadalajara. Most other wrestling in Mexico is still going on, including Arena Mexico at this point not having canceled any shows, but as we have seen, things change by the minute.
Kenny Omega to defend AAA Mega title at Rey de Reyes
Lucha Libre AAA has revealed when Kenny Omega will be making his next Mega title defense
Omega will defend his AAA Mega Championship against Laredo Kid at this year’s Rey de Reyes event. The show is taking place at Poliforum Zamna in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico on Saturday, March 21 and will air live on Twitch.
Omega has defended the Mega title twice since winning it from Fenix at AAA Heroes Inmortales in October. One of those defenses was on an episode of AEW Dark, with him defeating Jack Evans in November. Omega also retained against Dragon Lee at AAA’s Triplemania Regia in December.
At AEW’s Fyter Fest and AAA’s Triplemania XXVII last year, Omega & The Young Bucks traded wins with Pentagon Jr., Fenix & Laredo Kid in six-man tag matches.
Pentagon Jr. & Fenix will defend their AAA Tag Team titles against The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier & Zachary Wentz) at Rey de Reyes. The show will be headlined by Psycho Clown, Monsther Clown & Murder Clown vs. Rush, LA Park & Bestia del Ring.
Here’s the full Rey de Reyes card:
- Psycho Clown, Monsther Clown & Murder Clown vs. Rush, LA Park & Bestia del Ring

- Drago & Drago Kid vs. La Parka Negra & La Parkita Negra
Young Bucks win AAA Tag Team titles at Rey de Reyes
The Young Bucks are the new AAA Tag Team champions following tonight’s AAA Rey de Reyes event.
After the Lucha Bros. defeated Rey Escorpion and El Texano Jr. to win the titles in the main event, Konnan came out and confronted the new champions. At that moment, the lights went out. When they came back on, The Young Bucks were in the ring and an impromptu match for the tag team titles started.
It was a short bout, with the Bucks winning the titles after hitting the Meltzer Driver on Pentagon Jr., while previously laying out Fenix on the floor with an indytaker. The two then exited the ring and celebrated with Konnan as the show ended.
Cody also appeared earlier in the show, mentioning to Hugo Savinovich that he would like to bring in names to AAA such as Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho. Konnan, Taurus, Rey Escorpion and El Texano Jr. came out to confront him and it ended up turning into a brawl with several other wrestlers coming out for the save.
