AAA Triplemania XXX Tijuana notes: Ruleta de la Muerte, Bandido, Taya, Chik Tormenta

Triplemania XXX in Tijuana tonight had the semifinals of the Ruleta de la Muerte tournament, Chik Tormenta losing her mask, Bandido suffering an injury, and Fenix winning the Latin American and Cruiserweight titles.

Tonight’s show had Penta el 0 M and Villano IV lose their tournament matches, meaning they advance to the finals of the tournament where their masks will be on the line. That will take place at the final Triplemania event of the year in Mexico City on October 15. Blue Demon defeated Penta after a hammer shot to the head and hit a top rope destroyer through a table. Psycho Clown defeated Villano IV after an air raid clash through thumbtacks.

Fenix won the Latin American and Cruiserweight titles in a five-way match, defeating Latin American Champion Taurus, Laredo Kid, Bandido, and Hijo del Vikingo. Fenix pinned Taurus with a double foot stomp.

After the match, Bandido was stretchered out following a tower of doom spot where Bandido landed on his head. On Twitter, Bandido wrote on Instagram that his neck was not fractured but it was time for his body to rest.

Chik Tormenta lost her mask on tonight’s show, losing to Flammer in a singles match after the two were the last ones left in a cage match earlier in the show. Tormenta revealed herself as Cristina Azpeitia Ramirez of Guadalajara, Jalisco who has been wrestling for sixteen years.

Taya Valkyrie appeared on tonight’s show cutting a promo, eventually challenging AEW Women’s Champion Thunder Rosa. On Twitter, Rosa accepted the challenge.
