*********************
Welcome in to week three of AAA on Fox (or Youtube if you
aren’t in a foxy kind of mood).
It’s a big week, so let's get into it!
The show kicked off with the massive Omos being led to the
ring by Dorian Roldán. Rey Mysterio, fresh from the Royal
Rumble, provided translation on commentary. Roldan talked
about how his family created AAA and its characters. He took
credit for taking AAA to where it’s at now, bringing in some
of the best wrestlers in the world. He then called El Hijo
de Vikingo to the ring.
Vikingo reminded everyone that he is the #1 contender for
the AAA Mega Championship after crushing El Grande
Americano. He said he’s turning his back on the fans though
and at Rey de Reyes he will be victorious.
Suddenly, Dirty Dom himself appeared via video. He called
them all cowards said he’d face Vikingo at Rey de Reyes. He
then said that Vikingo doesn’t belong, Dom is the king, and
he will embarrass him at Rey De Reyes.
AAA World Cruiserweight Title #1 Contendership Four Way
Match: TJP vs. Mini Vikingo vs. Chris Carter vs Elio LeFleur
TJP got the jump off the top, pounding Vikingo in the
corner. LeFleur interrupted and sent TJP out. LeFleur
followed and Carter and Vikingo landed suicide dives on
both.
Back in the ring, Carter and Vikingo fought, running through
a chain of fast, high impact moves until they reached a
stalemate and shook hands out of respect. TJP put a stop to
that though and took them both out. He then pulled LeFleur
down off the top rope and turned his attention to Carter.
Carter got wrapped up in a grapevie and LeFleur tried to get
involved. TJP tied him up at the same time until Vikingo
broke the whole thing up. Lefleur grabbed TJP and sent him
to the corner. TJP dodged a charge from Vikingo and he
collided with LeFleur.
TJP then wrapped Vikingo up in a surfboard, stretching him
until Carter tried to steal one and LeFleur came in from the
top rope to keep anyone form pinning anyone. Vikingo knocked
LeFleur into TJP, sending them both to the outside. He dove
on both and held TJP so Carter could hit him with a
corkscrew dive. LeFleur followed, taking out everyone.
Vikingo went up top and hit a splash on Carter, but TJP did
the same thing and hit a 450 on them both! TJP then pinned
Carter to pick up the win and become the #1 contender to the
Cruiserweight Title.
Match Result: TJP defeated Mini Vikingo and Chris Carter
After the match, el Hijo de Vikingo, Omos and Roldan all
came down to the ring. They climbed in and TJP took that
opportunity to make his exit. Vikingo asked him to put Mini
Vikingo back into the ring, which he did. Omos then picked
up the Mini Vikingo and powerbombed him, much to Rey
Mysterio’s dismay.
Vikingo (el Hijo de) grabbed a mic and laughed. He then
stripped Mini Vikingo of the permission to use his name and
moves. Omos powerbombed him again to put an exclamation mark
on the point.
La Hiedra vs. Lola Vice (Special Referee: Mr. Iguana)
Iguana and Vice were pulling a Rick Rude on tonight’s
episode, having appeared at the Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia
earlier in the day. I guess Rey Mysterio did too. They,
that’s a trifecta of Rude. A Rude-fecta? Anyway, this match
was over who wins Iguana’s heart, and to be his mixed tag
partner.
The two tied up off the top with Vice coming out the winner
until Hiedra hit her in the face with a forearm. She whiffed
on the next attempt and Vice went for a cover. Hiedra kicked
out, but Vice locked her legs around her chest until the ref
broke it up.
They traded pinning combinations until Iguana was lovingly
hugged by Vice. That enraged Hiedra who charged, but Vice
caught her and hit a springboard armdrag. Vice started
kicking Hiedra in the corner and set her up for a
cannonball, but Hiedra dodged and countered with one of her
own.
Iguana sent the other members of the Toxicas to the back and
Hiedra grabbed a headlock. Vice elbowed her way out of it.
Vice slapped on a sleeper, but Heidra broke out. Vice used
her talented legs to start with the kicks and then a
headscissor.
Hiedra went to the outside and Vice followed with a dive.
Tossing Hiedra back in, Vice used her other, uh, assets, to
deliver a cannonball in the corner. She went for the pin,
but Hiedra kicked out. Heidra threw Vice into the middle
rope and then hit a flatliner for a two count.
Hiedra went up top for a dropkick and then grabbed Iguana’s
puppet. That gave her the distraction to roll up vice, but
Iguana saw her grab a handful of trunks and waved it off.
Vice then countered and rolled up Hiedra for the win.
Match Result: Lola Vice defeated La Hiedra
Backstage, AAA Mixed Tag Champions Ethan Page and Chelsea
Green (who was also in the rumble, making it a Quad-Rude)
watched the result. They left to prepare to defend their
titles against Iguana and Vice.
Next, Santos Escobar cut a promo, but it was unfortunately
not translated. One can assume it was about el Hijo de Dr
Wagner jr and the AAA Latin American Title. I think Escobar
wants it, which would track.
Rey de Reyes 2026 Qualifying Four Way Match: Aero Star vs.
Apollo Crews vs. La Parka vs. Jack Cartwheel
La Parka was ALSO in Saudi Arabia for the Rumble, so now we
are up to a Cinco de Rude.
La Parka and Crews hooked up off the top, with Crews sending
him to the outside. Aerostar came in and tripped Crews to
the outside. That let Cartwheel, uh, cartwheel dropkick
Areostar. La Parka came back in and didn’t fare much better.
Crews then threw Cartwheel over the top rope and followed
with a dive to take out all four.
Crews chose La Parka to throw back into the ring and nailed
him with a staaaaaalling suplex. La Parka hit a Michinoku
Driver out of nowhere and almost got a quick win, but
Cartwheel broke it up. La Parka sent Crews to the outside
then frog splashed Cartwheel, but Aerostar broke up the pin.
Crews and Aerostar locked up nest, but La Parka got back in
the ring in time to eat a codebreaker from Aerostar.
Cartwheel then came in for a Poisonrana on Crews, leaving
all four men on their backs in the ring.
Cartwheel armdragged Crews out of the ring and then took out
La Parka and Aerostar with a (you guessed it) cartwheel. He
went up top and hit a twisting shooting star press on La
Parka, but Crews broke it up.
Crews then started powerbombing everyone until Areostar hit
a cutter. He went up top, but La Parka grabbed him for a
spanish fly, followed by the thriller. 1-2-3 La Parka pinned
Aerostar to qualify for Rey de Reyes.
Match Result: La Parka defeated Aero Star, Apollo Crews and
Jack Cartwheel
