Rey Mysterio to replace Penta at AAA Guerra de Titantes
The Lucha Brothers reunion is off, but a replacement has been named for Guerra de Titanes.
Penta announced on social media Tuesday that he will be out of this Saturday’s event in Guadalajara, where he was originally set to team with his brother Rey Fenix for the first time under the WWE banner against Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano. Penta announced he wouldn’t be there, but Rey Mysterio will be taking his place.
On the November 24 edition of Raw, Penta suffered a shoulder injury while wrestling Solo Sikoa, landing hard after hitting a hurricanrana off the barricade. In the days after the incident Penta said he was hoping to make it to Guerra de Titantes despite the injury. Although Rey Mysterio has made multiple appearances in AAA this year, it would mark the first time he has wrestled on a AAA branded show in Mexico since WWE bought the company.
Here is the updated lineup for Guerra de Titantes, which will air on YouTube this Saturday:
AAA Guerra de Titanes (December 20)
- Rey Fenix & Rey Mysterio vs. Dominik Mysterio & El Grande Americano
- AAA Latin American title: Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. defends against Ethan Page
- Psycho Circus vs. The Wyatt Sicks
- AAA Cruiserweight title: Laredo Kid defends against Je’Von Evans and Jack Cartwheel
- Dragon Lee vs. El Hijo del Vikingo
- Natalya, Lola Vice, and Faby Apache vs. Las Toxicas (Flammer, La Hiedra, and Maravilla)
