And begin it has! An hour late, but it’s Rey De Reyes, so it’s gonna be great! My only question about tonight is how much clown drama will be involved? Last week’s incident with Murder Clown is still on my mind.
Anyway, I am confident in saying that Rey de Reyes is the premier sword-based match in wrestling and I’m stoked to get it going!
After a special intro package, Rey Fenix came out to the ring to a big ovation. Fenix grabbed the mic and said it was a beautiful blessing for him to be back in Pueblo. Fenix bigged up his brother and then introduced WWE Intercontinental Champion, Penta.
After a hug, Penta got on the mic and told Fenix to stick around. Penta told his brother that he was so happy to finally get to WWE with him, but then got hurt. He thanked Rey Mysterio for filling in for him, and ran down Dom some, before Fenix asked the crowd if they wanted to see the Lucha Brothers together again?
He asked if the crowd would like to see them at Triplemania and they responded in the affirmative. Penta said that he could make it happen and Fenix reminded everyone that they were made in AAA. Penta said that it was time for the world to see the Lucha Brothers.
Penta then moved on to Rey de Reyes, noting it was the 29th year of the event and so many legends had competed at it. He talked about how awesome it will be for one person to win the sword, and then said that his Intercontinental Title was for everyone in Mexico and Lucha Libre. He promised to put the title on the line in WWE and AAA. He then said whoever steps up in the back, he’ll be ready and he’s waiting for a challenger.
