*************
All right my friends, unless someone in a black track suit shows up, we are (finally) off and running with AAA!
El Greende Americano (I can’t believe it took me so long to think of that) was shown as one of the many wrestlers arriving to work in a traditional opening segment after a quick recap of last week’s Vikingo/Mysterio contract signing. It went fine.
The show began proper and el Greende Americano came to the ring. He grabbed a mic and the crowd sang and chanted for him a lot. He said it was great to be back home and told the crowd they needed to talk about that “fraud,” referring to the OG Americano. Greende accused OG of having to use AI in his video last week because he doesn’t know how to speak Spanish.
Greende then threw to roving reporter Pimpinela Escarlata. Escarlata went to OG’s dressing room and spoke to OG. He used rudimentary spanish like “bueno” and Escarlata accused him of not knowing any Spanish and then beat up Escarlata until security had to pull him off. Then it cut to commercial ending a very, very strange segment.
More technical difficulties from Mexico had us come back to some audio over a black screen, then a quick recap of last week’s Crusierwieght title match between TJ Perkins and the champion, the Laredo Kid. Spoiler, Kid won. So that means we need a new #1 Contender!
AAA World Cruiserweight Championship No 1. Contender’s Match: Dragon Lee vs. Jack Cartwheel
You might remember Dragon Lee from hanging out with AJ Styles. You might remember Jack Cartwheel from the cartwheeling.
The match kicked off with a handshake and a tie up. Lee sent Cartwheel to the corner but he was able to flip out and they traded wristlocks. Cartheel came off the ropes with the flippin’ and the floppin’ and took Lee down with a headscissor.
They ran through some chain moves and Lee went for a Ligerbomb, but Cartwheel got out of it and Lee took a moment on the outside. That let Cartwheel fly over the top rope onto him and throw him back in the ring.
Cartwheel went to do a spin through the ropes (kind of a reverse 619 or 916 as it were) and Lee kicked him right in the face. Cartwheel crumpled and Lee brought him back in for a two count. Lee got to his feet and threw some punches.
He charged Cartwheel who countered with a spanish fly, but could only get a two count. Lee came back with a high knee and they traded superkicks. Cartwheel hit a suplex and then a stunner, but Lee got him with a sit out Liger bomb and somehow Catwheel kicked out.
Cartwheel hit a superkick and poisonrana before going up top for an incredible springboard twisting phoenix splash, but Lee kicked out at 2.8.
Cartwheel went back up but Lee caught him off the jump and hit a Styles Clash, but not even that could put Cartwheel down for three. Lee went up top, but Cartwheel cut him off with a flipping kick, hanging him up on the turnbuckle.
They fought to the top rope and Cartwheel went for a hurricanrana from the top, but Lee countered it with a doublestomp to the heart a dropkick into the turnbuckle. He hit Operation Dragon and that was it. Lee wins and becomes #1 Contender for Laredo Kid’s Cruiserweight Title.
Match Result: Dragon Lee defeated Jack Cartwheel
After the match, Lee grabbed a mic and thanked the crowd. Suddenly, TJ Perkins arrived in his questionable jacket and said that Laredo Kid cheated in their match, implying that he’s the real #1 Contender. Lee invited him to step into the ring about it and then Laredo Kid came down and all three brawled, until Cartwheel got back up and cleared the ring of all three. Perhaps they will solve this in a four-way match, fatally.
-Backstage a man who was absolutely a real doctor said something really fast in Spanish about the status of Pimpinela Escarlata, who was beaten up by OG Grande Americano. Unfortunately, there was no translation or caption, but hopefully after the commercial break things will be clearer.
-Back from said break, Vikingo, Omos and Dorian were shown standing on a balcony. Vikingo said that Omos will win his match tonight and Rey de Reyes, and Vikingo will win the AAA Mega Championship from Dominick Mysterio. BUT, that means they will have to face each other!
Dorion said not to worry, he has had a plan for a long time and it’s going swimmingly. Next week, Vikingo will have a warm up match, Omos will win tonight and everything is going according to the plan that Dorion has been laying out.
-Back stage, we got our update as Greende Americano was shown assisting EMT’s putting Pimpinela Escarlata into an ambulance. Pimpinela begged Greende to take their place in the match and win it. Greende agreed and then:
Rey de Reyes Fatal 4-Way Qualifying Match: El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. vs. Pimpinela Escarlata vs. Omos vs. Ethan Page
Became:
Rey de Reyes Fatal 4-Way Qualifying Match: El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. vs. El Grande Americano (Green) vs. Omos vs. Ethan Page
Now that was a journey! Honestly, kudos to AAA for telling more story in one hour-long episode than other promotions do in a 3-hour event. It’s really fun to watch.
A few weeks ago, the OG Americano took out Greende Americano in what was to be his Rey de Reyes qualifying match. OG took his place and won. Now Greende has replaced someone in another qualifier and has a chance to face off with OG at Rey de Reys. Ain’t wresting grande? er, grand?
Anyway, the match started and Page immediatly bailed from the ring. Omos took over, taking out Americano and Wagner. Page came back in and tried to make friends with Omos, even laying a performatory beat down on Wagner and Americano. Omos didn’t buy it though and flattened him with a big boot.
Wagner and Americano tried to suplex Omos, but Omos shrugged them off and dropped Americano onto Wagner. The crowd for this was very happy and very LOUD, by the way.
Americano tried to go at Omos solo, but that didn’t work. Omos threw some massive elbows and side slammed him before turning his attention to Wagner. He dropped him snake eyes on the turnbuckle then sent him flying with a big boot.
Omos went for a cover, but Page broke it up. Omos grabbed him by the throat, allowing Americano to jump on his back to try a sleeper. Wagner tried a front headlock and Omos stayed on his feet, holding them up. Page charged and Omos kicked him down WHILE STILL HOLDING THE OTHER TWO IN THE AIR!

Omos stepped out of the ring to throw page over an announce table and Grande treid to dive on him, but Omos caught him in mid air and dropped him. Page tried to take out Omos’ eyes, and Wagner hit a suicida, staggering Omos for the first time.
Omos slumped over the steps, and Page and Americano jumped back into the ring to try and get a pin on each other. Americano tried to walk the ropes but Page pulled him into a tree of woe for some stomps. Page hit a powerslam and went for a pin, but Wagner came crashing down with a frog splash and broke it up. He tried a cover on Page, but only got two.
Wagner blasted Page with an exposed elbow, but Page fought back with a superkick. He started messing with Wagner’s mask, but Americano returned and dropkicked him. Americano hit a clothesline from the top rope and Omos rose like the Ghost of Christmas Past and got back in the ring.
Americano threw everything he had at him and Omos was not at 100%. Americano tried to dump him over the ropes, but needed Wagner’s help to do it. Omos crumbled, taking them out with him. Omos went to punch Americano, but he ducked and Omos hit his arm on the ringpost.
Wagner and Americano got back in the ring and started throwing hands. Americano got a rolling senton on Wagner, but Page returned and threw Americano out of the ring, tying to steal one. Wanger kicked out though and hit a Wagner driver on Page, but Santos Escobar showed up and pulled Wagner out to brawl. Look for them to have a match later, as they fought up the ramp and into the back.
In the ring, Page and Americano fought on the apron with Americano getting the upper hand until Omos grabbed them both by the throat. Suddenly, Rayo and Bravo Americano showed up and long sotry short, they handcuffed Omos to the ring post!
That gave Greende Americano a chance to load up his mask charge Page. Page booted him, but Americano countered with a surfboard! Page tapped, but in the melee the ref had gotten knocked out!.
Suddenly, OG Americano arrived to taunt Greende. Rayo and Bravo attacked, but OG fought them off. IN the ring, Page grabbed Greende and hit a powerbomb. The ref came to and counted 1-2-NO! Greende kicked out!
Then La Parka showed up and took out OG, giving Greende a chance to nail Page with the loaded headbutt and pin him to get the victory and qualify for Rey de Reyes!
Match Result: El Grande Americano (Green) defeated El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr., Omos and Ethan Page
To close things out, I’d just like to say THAT WAS AWESOME! (clap-clap clap-clap-clap)
