AAA on Fox debut show live results: El Grande Americano vs. El Hijo del Vikingo
AAA’s debut show on Fox in Mexico and Central America takes place live tonight from Mexico City.
Rey Mysterio is set to open the show. However, Mega Champion Dominik Mysterio is not part of the advertised lineup, as he’s still dealing with a shoulder injury suffered at the December 20 show in Guadalajara.
El Hijo del Vikingo and El Grande Americano are scheduled to clash in a number-one contenders match for Dominik’s Mega Championship. Dominik and Americano appeared to have a falling out on the Guadalajara show after their loss to Rey Mysterio and Rey Fenix.
Also set for tonight is a trios bout featuring Niño Hamburguesa, La Parka, and Mr. Iguana against Abismo Negro, Taurus, and Histeria.
AAA Reina de Reinas Champion Flammer will wrestle Lady Shani in singles competition.
Tonight’s show will air internationally on WWE’s and AAA’s YouTube channels. Our live coverage begins at 9 p.m. Eastern.
*******************************
A new era for AAA begins tonight and we here here for it along with everyone watching FOX in Latin America and YouTube and Facebook everywhere else!
The show kicked off with a shot of a very passionate crowd outside the arena chanting for their favourite Lucha Libre promotion, AAA (it would have been awkward if it wasn’t, to be honest).
The arena exploded with Booyaka’s as Lucha Libre legend and noted deadbeat dad, Rey Mysterio Jr made his way to the ring to start the live action. Rey addressed the crowd in Spanish, which made sense. I don’t speak much Spanish, but based on the reaction of the crowd, they were stoked to hear from him.
There was one moment that needed no translation though. When Rey said “La lucha libre es pasión.”
Rey then joined Corey Graves and JBL on commentary for the rest of the show.
Niño Hamburguesa, La Parka & Mr. Iguana vs. Abismo Negro, Taurus & Histeria
Stop me if you’ve heard this one: An iguana, a dancing skeleton and a human hamburger walk into a wrestling ring to fight a trio of anthropomorphic bulls wearing football pads. There’s no punchline, just a gigantic smile on my face. Seriously, is ist my birthday?
Hamburguesa and Taurus kicked it off with the two heacy weights trading some hard chops. Hamburguesa got the momentum off the top, sending Taurus out and bringing in Negro. Igunana threw a cheeseburger into Hamburguesa as he landed a cannonball in the corner.
Histeria came in and took down Hamburguesa with a heel kick. Taurus came in for a double team and Negro leapt from the top rope with a dropkick. Taurus and Histeria put Hamburguesa on the top turnbuckle, but he turned it around on them and hit a couble splash.
La Parka tagged in and cleared the ring before planting Taurus with a facebuster. He hoisted him up for a stalling suplex, but Los Vipers (Histeria and Negro) broke up the pin attempt.
Iguana tagged in and sent Negro to the outside. He leapt off the top turnbuckle taking him out. Hamburguesa then executed a suicide dive, taking both Vipers out. Iguana hit a spinning slam on Taurus in the ring and picked up the pin, 1-2-3
Then, they danced. Oh how they danced.
Match Result: Niño Hamburguesa, La Parka & Mr. Iguana defeated Abismo Negro, Taurus & Histeria
-It was then announced that the AAA Mega Champion Dominick Mysterio would have a message for the AAA Audience.
-Backstage, Penta was interviewed and he said that he has a huge announcement for next week’s show.
Non-Title MatchAAA Reina de Reinas Champion Flammer vs. Lady Shani
Based on the in-depth research I did before the show, Reina de Reinas means “Queen of Queens” making Flammer the equivalent of the Women’s World Champion in AAA. Shani has held the title twice previously.
Shani and Flammer got in each other’s faces before the bell even rang and Flammer hit a headscissor right off the top. Shani fought back and the two traded pinning combinations with neither being able to get past a two count.
Flammer’s La Toxicas faction cheered from ringside as the chops began in the ring. Flammer threw Shani into the corner for a splash then pretended to kick dirt on her like a baseball umpire. Flammer hit a spinning kick, but Shani countered with a backstabber.
The two rolled around looking for a pin with Shani coming out on top. Ledra got up on the apron and that brought out Lola Vice to run her off. Maravia tried to pull Shani’s ankle, but she shrugged her off. The chaos left Shani open though and Flammer was able to hit a dropkick to send Shani to the mat and get a pin.
