Cain Velasquez made his professional wrestling debut last night in Mexico City at AAA’s Triplemanía XXVII. He teamed with Cody Rhodes and Psycho Clown in winning fashion over Taurus, Texano Jr, and Killer Kross. There was a scuffle in the back between Velasquez and LA Park after the event which could lead to Cain’s next program with AAA as well.
Also on the show, Blue Demon Jr. defeated Dr. Wagner Jr. in a Mask vs Hair match. Wagner has subsequently said he plans to retire after the loss.
Tessa Blanchard also won the Reina De Reinas championship last night in Mexico City. Not long after winning the title, however, former long-time holder of the belt Taya Valkyrie got up in Blanchard’s face about it. The face-off between the two is likely building towards a future clash between them.
Members of the Elite were on-hand as well. In addition to Cody teaming with Velasquez, Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks lost to the Lucha Bros and the Laredo Kid.
