Tay Conti has learned that you don’t mess with Penta El Zero M.

AAA held its TripleMania: Monterrey event this past Saturday night (April 30). Tay was in action on the show. She teamed with Sammy Guevara to take on Los Vipers, Maravilla and Látigo, and Sexy Star II and Komander. The AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship was on the line.

In the end, Tay and Sammy won to capture the gold.

Tay didn’t walk away unscathed, however. At one point, she found herself on the wrong end of a superkick courtesy of Penta El Zero M.

AAA has confirmed that All Elite Wrestling stars Penta El Zero M and Rey Fenix will return at TripleMania XXIX to defend their AAA World Tag Team Titles.

In today’s TripleMania press conference, the company confirmed that the Lucha Bros will be defending their belts in a triple threat tag team match against Laredo Kid & Hijo del Vikingo, plus Black Taurus with a mystery partner.

Penta El Zero M and Rey Fenix won the AAA World Tag Team Titles back in June 2019, where they defeated current AEW Tag Champs The Young Bucks. The Lucha Bros have defended the titles on three occasions since the win, twice in 2019 and in December 2020 at TripleMania XXVIII.

The TripleMania XXVIII match was also a triple threat; with the Lucha Bros defending successfully against Myzteziz Jr. and Octagon Jr., and Rey Escorpion and Texano Jr.

Here’s the currently confirmed card for TripleMania XXVIII on Saturday, August 14 from Arena Ciudad de México in Mexico City, Mexico:

• Mask vs. Hair Match – Psycho Clown vs. Rey Escorpión
• AAA Mega Championship Match – Kenny Omega (c) vs Andrade El Idolo

• Murder Clown, Chessman and Pagano vs. Puma King and two partners TBA
• Copa Bardahl – Drago, Mamba, Mr. Iguana and other competitors TBA
• Marvel’s Lucha Libre Exhibition – Participants and characters TBA

Most years, AAA’s TripleMania takes place during the summer. This year’s show was scheduled for August 22nd, but was later postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

AAA has announced TripleMania XXVIII will be held on December 12th. No fans will be in attendance. AEW star Kenny Omega will defend the AAA Mega Championship against Laredo Kid in one of the top matches. Here is the complete lineup:

The show will take place in the Mexico City Arena in Azcapotzalco, Mexico City, Mexico.

The biggest event of the year for AAA Lucha Libre took place last night. The promotion presented TripleMania XXVI from the Arena Ciudad in Mexico City, Mexico.

The main event featured a 4-way cage match which guaranteed one luchador would lose their mask. The rules were that 4 luchadors would start in the cage and once two had escaped, the remaining two would wrestle a single’s match. The loser of that match would be forced to unmask.

El Hijo Del Fantasma Unmasked

In a shocking turn of events, El Hijo Del Fantasma (aka King Cuerno in Lucha Underground) has been unmasked.

AAA sent along a press release on late Sunday evening, immediately after their “TripleMania XXIII” event, which aired live on North American pay-per-view, to explain the many audio and technical difficulties that took place during the broadcast.

Below is the press release AAA issued to explain what went wrong:

AAA ISSUES STATEMENT ON TRIPLEMANIA XXIII PPV AUDIO ISSUES

MEXICO CITY – We thank all of you for giving AAA your Sunday night. No excuse undoes a night plagued with audio difficulties. Fans purchased this event with a level expectations and it was our goal to exceed those expectations. We are still investigating the source of the issues with our audio malfunctions, but we thank you for giving us a shot. Audio issues can occasionally happen with live televised sporting events and luckily were resolved in time for tonight’s main events.

Everyone and we do mean everyone’s desire at AAA was and is to give you a flawless pay-per-view experience. Unfortunately, tonight that didn’t happen and we are as frustrated and as disappointed as you with these technical issues.

On behalf of everyone, we apologize and thank you for support and patience.

Hopefully you enjoyed the matches and consider trying AAA again.

• MANY WWE Legends EXPLODE On Dana White For “FAKE” Outburst — Dana White FINALLY Responds!

Former WWE Superstar Rey Mysterio was a guest on The LAW this past week to promote Sunday’s TripleMania PPV. Here are some highlights of what he said about:

His match against Myzteziz this Sunday:

“I definitely think this is something that not only we wanted but the fans demanded. I think it will define our legacy. We both have similarities in our styles, in our outfit… Over the years he has spoke highly about how he has admired my career for so long. I saw him wrestle in Mexico & many times on TV & he was the future of Mexican wrestling at the time. It’s definitely a dream match – without a doubt. I know we’re gonna go out there & put everything on the line & give the fans exactly what they deserve.”

His health:

“It’s incredible. I’ve had a lot of time to heal up & my body is actually thanking me now for getting that opportunity to rest – to strengthen up my quads from all the damage over the years on my left knee. My right knee – thank God, knock on wood – it’s in great condition. Now I’ve just gotta stay in shape & keep doing what I love but on my own terms – not like in the early 30’s.”

The LAW: Live Audio Wrestling can be heard every Sunday night at 11pm ET on TSN 1050 Toronto, TSN 1410 Vancouver, SiriusXM 167 and online at liveaudiowrestling.com.

Rey Mysterio spoke to Channel Guide Magazine this week to promote AAA’s upcoming TripleMania 23 PPV on August 9th, where he’ll have his first-ever match against Myzteziz (the original Sin Cara in WWE).

Rey spoke about enjoying his freedom since leaving WWE earlier this year, which was a major factor in his decision to leave.

“I wanted my family time before anything else. Family to me comes first, especially now in this stage of my career. I knew that I wasn’t going to have a strong commitment to another company if I was going to sign with someone else. I wanted to do something on my own terms and call my own shots. That time came. I’m doing a couple of events for AAA and independent work. Not too much wresting, but signings and appearances. I think the second major factor in this is I have been on the grind doing this for 25 years. So my body needed to rest without a doubt.”

Regarding his upcoming ‘dream match’ with Myzteziz, Mysterio says fans have been wondering which of them is the top luchador in the world and it’s time to answer that question.

“I think there is a lot of similarities and comparisons to me and him,” Mysterio said. “There is a certain similarity with the style. Here is where the rumors take place with the contact lenses. There were rumors he had said I was copying it from him. At the end of the day he is a great performer. I admire him for his skills. I think once Mexico had stars taken away from AAA like Psicosis, Juventud Guerrera, Konnan and myself. We all took our careers into WCW and many in WWE.

“This new star was born. Now there is talk who is better. It’s a dream match. After all the gossip and rumors, this match is finally happening. It’s due to the fans that saw something in each of us. It’s time to show who is the best.”

There’s much more, including Rey’s thoughts on wrestling for AAA and his desire to branch out into acting and even comic books. To read the full interview, visit ChannelGuideMagBlog.com.

REY MYSTERIO JR. VS. MYZTEZIZ – DREAM MATCH

Since 1992, Triplemanía has been the stage for some of Lucha Libre’s most spectacular rivalries and matches and this year is no different. For the first-time ever, Rey Mysterio Jr. will wrestle Myzteziz in a dream match between two of the most gifted and iconic masked luchadores of this era.

In a match fueled by national pride, AAA Mega Champion Alberto El Patron defends the honor of Mexico against America’s Brian Cage in a hair match.

“We hope that all of our viewers will enjoy the high pace lucha that AAA has to offer. It is exciting times for Lucha in North American and AAA wants to give to the audience a new option in the wrestling industry,” AAA General Manager Joaquín Roldán said.

“AAA is one of the hottest Latin sports media brands with a growing global presence. Triplemanía XXIII on pay-per-view is a major step for AAA’s global strategy. What better way to enter the U.S. and Canadian pay-per-view market than with this very special event” said Court Bauer, Executive Producer for Triplemanía XXIII.

The event has previously been sold out 50,000+ capacity bullrings in major Mexican markets as well as in Tokyo and Chicago before capacity crowds. This year, the state-of-the-art Mexico City Arena (Arena Ciudad de México) will host the 23rd annual Triplemanía.

The following are highlights of a new Squared Circle Gazette interview with Jeff Jarrett:

On the possibility of bringing AAA’s TripleMania show to North American Pay-Per-View: “We have our contracts in place with the Pay-Per-View distributors…You mention TripleMania – I’m in discussions with multiple international partners to bring their products to the North American and now the global audience via the Flipps App. So yes, to answer your question, yes, we are in discussions on bringing in other international shows to Pay-Per-View other than New Japan”

On whether he feels that traditional Pay-Per-View is a dying business model: “When you try twelve a year, absolutely. And yes, everything is going online obviously. But you know, UFC…Floyd Mayweather…if you ask them if Pay-Per-View is a dying breed they would laugh at you. But you have to have that special event, if you try twelve a year then the returns are not there, especially when there’s so much programming out there. In this set of circumstances, you can’t watch New Japan on a two or three hour weekly show with the same matchups. You can only see Tanahashi and Okada (and this great card) on Pay-Per-View, and that makes it can’t miss”

On the current TV landscape and if there is resistance to a new product: “We are in multiple, multiple discussions with several networks, but the right deal has to be done. My attorneys tell me that sometimes your best deals are the ones you don’t do. A guy like me, that’s hard to absorb at times. But AXS has just picked up New Japan for a 13 week run. Lucha Underground has got a run. Brand exposure is the key. To create revenues in this business, and Vince McMahon is a genius with that – his deal is fantastic with NBC Universal, but that’s just a piece of his puzzle. He has international deals, touring business, merchandise, licensing, sponsorship, his online Network. Revenue streams are broad and deep, so TV is one component of a wrestling promotion.”

Check out the complete interview at Podbean.com.

– As noted earlier today, Alberto Del Rio (as El Patron) is advertised for the AAA events in Puerto Vallarta on September 13th and 14th. Del Rio is included in the promotional posters for the event, which takes place at the Hard Rock Casino, making it the first time he has appeared on a wrestling poster since leaving WWE.

– In a related note, Del Rio is being credited with some of the success of the big AAA “TripleMania” event due to the amount of media coverage he garnered for the show.

– Above is a video promo from Tyson Kidd for the NXT Takeover 2 special, which takes place on September 11th and airs live on the WWE Network.

As noted, WWE Superstar Rey Mysterio appeared at the AAA “TripleMania” event in Mexico on Sunday night in the form of a pre-taped video interview.

Mysterio congratulated AAA on 22 years in the business and told fans that he would be seeing them soon.

Check out the video above.

As noted earlier, Alberto Del Rio, now known as Alberto El Patron, appeared as planned at the AAA TripleMania event on Sunday night in Mexico.

We reported earlier that he spoke about his non-compete issues with WWE during the show, calling the company a “racist organization.”

Above is a video of Del Rio’s involvement at TripleMania on Sunday night.

Alberto El Patron, formerly known as Alberto Del Rio, made his AAA debut at the TripleMania event in Mexico on Sunday night as planned.

He spoke during his promo on the show that despite his 90-day non-compete in Mexico and one-year non-compete in the United States, he is not being paid by WWE like he’s supposed to due to “unprofessional conduct.” He also noted that he just left a “racist organization.”

While he didn’t officially wrestle a match during the show, he did get physically involved on two separate occasions.

At the AAA “TripleMania” event in Mexico on Sunday, Rey Mysterio appeared during the show in the form of a pre-taped video interview.

Mysterio is still under contract to WWE, reportedly until April of 2015, so this could potentially lead to some legal issues between both sides.

Apparently, the video interview with Mysterio was only supposed to air live in the arena during the show, but ended up airing during the pay-per-view broadcast as well.

– Rey Mysterio tweeted good luck to his friend Alberto Del Rio on Twitter today, referencing his AAA debut at TripleMania on Sunday.

“Deceandole maybe my great friend ADR in its presentation of its first Triplemanía !, luck my brother”

– The following is the official synopsis for the new “WWE Presents: True Giants” DVD and Blu-ray, which is expected to have a December release.

“Focused on the top giants in wrestling history. This program will look and feel like 20 mini-biographies with each feature presented by just one person, giving it a more personal and in-depth look than a Countdown.

A 2 hour feature will have 20 mini-bios and full matches included as extras. Featured giants include Andre The Giant, Big Show, John Studd, Vader, King Kong Bundy, Diesel, Kamala, Gorilla Monsoon, Earthquake, and more!”

Former WWE Superstar Alberto Del Rio held a press conference in Mexico City with AAA President Joaquin Roldan on Thursday to make a few announcements.

First and foremost, Del Rio revealed that due to WWE owning the rights to the Alberto Del Rio name, he will be using the name “El Patron” from now on. That is the nickname he was given on the Spanish language broadcasts in WWE, which stands for “The Boss,” a name that WWE did not trademark.

He mentioned that he while legally he can’t wrestle in AAA for 90 days due to his non-compete with WWE, his lawyers are working on trying to enable him to be able to wrestle at the TripleMania event on Sunday. As things stand now, it’s unlikely that he will wrestle at the show.

Despite previous reports to the contrary, Rey Mysterio will not be appearing at AAA’s “TripleMania” show in Mexico this Sunday.

Mysterio is still reportedly under a contract to WWE and the company would not allow him to appear at the show, especially considering the fact that it will be going head-to-head with their own SummerSlam pay-per-view on Sunday.
