Brian Cage says that he is briefly sidelined and has addressed missing AAA Triplemania XXXI Mexico City

Cage was scheduled for the four way AAA Latin America Championship match on Saturday’s show but was replaced by Texano Jr. 

In his video, Cage explained that he was in an emergency room and would not make his flight to Mexico for the show. He did not specifically address what medical issue he is dealing with. 

“I’m currently in the ER right now with inconsiderate patients playing their Instagram videos in the background on full volume,” Cage says in the video. “Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like I’ll be making my flight or my scheduled match up for Triplemania this Saturday. I wish I was joking, I wish I was lying, I wish this was part of the plan but unfortunately, it’s not.”

QT Marshall won the four way match against Texano, Dralistico, and Pentagon Jr. at Triplemania to become the new AAA Latin American Champion. 

Cage’s last match was against Darby Allin on Wednesday’s Rampage taping in Columbus.

Kamille replacing Thunder Rosa at AAA Triplemania: Mexico City

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Due to injury, Thunder Rosa is officially off Triplemania XXX: Mexico City.

Rosa was scheduled to challenge Taya Valkyrie for the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship at the Triplemania event. Lucha Libre AAA posted a video on Friday night setting up that Kamille will instead face Valkyrie for the title in Mexico City.

Kamille cut a promo saying she’s heard that Valkyrie is looking for someone new to face at Triplemania because “apparently your last opponent got hurt.” Kamille said she’s here to answer that call.

Kamille has been NWA World Women’s Champion for more than a year. She retained that title against Valkyrie at night one of NWA 74 this August.

On AEW Dynamite last month, Rosa announced that she wouldn’t be able to compete at All Out due to injury. Rosa still holds the AEW Women’s World Championship, but Toni Storm has been crowned interim champion while Rosa is out of action. Storm was supposed to challenge Rosa for the title at All Out. She instead defeated Britt Baker, Hikaru Shida, and Jamie Hayter in a four-way match at the pay-per-view to become interim champion.

Rosa told Busted Open Radio that she expects to be out of action for a couple of months due to the back injury. She also responded to people who have claimed she’s faking the injury.

“This is not fake, not a work. If I can f**king work, I can f**king work,” Rosa said.

“I’m sorry, guys. I want to walk when I’m 40, I want to have kids…I have the right to say, ‘No, I can’t walk, I can’t do it.’ I don’t want to have surgery (and be out longer).”

Triplemania: Mexico City is taking place on Saturday, October 15. It’s the last of three Triplemania PPVs this year celebrating the 30th edition of the event.

Thunder Rosa to challenge for women’s title at AAA Triplemania: Mexico City

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Thunder Rosa will be challenging for gold at Triplemania XXX: Mexico City.

At a press conference on Monday, Lucha Libre AAA announced that Rosa will challenge Taya Valkyrie for the Reina de Reinas Championship at Triplemania: Mexico City on Saturday, October 15. It’s the third of three Triplemania shows this year celebrating the 30th edition of the event.

Rosa’s AEW Women’s World Championship won’t be on the line in the match.

A promo from Rosa aired at the press conference. Rosa said she wants to bring the AAA Reina de Reinas title back to Mexican hands.

Luchablog notes that AAA explained the match as being “a Mexican who’s been successful outside of Mexico [Rosa] vs a foreigner who found their career by coming to Mexico [Valkyrie].”

Valkyrie has been Reina de Reinas Champion since winning the title from Deonna Purrazzo at Impact Wrestling’s Rebellion pay-per-view this April. This is Valkyrie’s fourth time holding the title.

It was also announced at Monday’s press conference that El Hijo del Vikingo will defend his AAA Mega Championship at Triplemania: Mexico City against an opponent who has yet to be determined. Lucha Libre AAA is asking fans to choose Vikingo’s challenger, with Kenny Omega, Rey Fenix, and Psycho Clown mentioned as possibilities.

Omega has been out of action since last November after taking time off to have several surgeries for nagging injuries. He’s hoping to return in time for AEW’s All Out PPV this September.

There will be another press conference for Triplemania: Mexico City next month. Here’s the full list of what’s been announced for the show thus far:

  • Mask vs. mask match (Ruleta de la Muerte finals): Pentagon Jr. vs. Villano IV
  • AAA Reina de Reinas Champion Taya Valkyrie defends against Thunder Rosa
  • AAA Mega Champion El Hijo del Vikingo defends against TBD
  • Hair vs. hair match: Pagano vs. Cibernetico
  • Copa Bardahl Triplemania
