Tonight, the highly anticipated event, Triplemanía XXXIII, unfolds at the Arena Ciudad de México. This annual celebration, hosted by AAA (Asistencia Asesoría y Administración), marks a significant milestone as the 33rd edition of the event and the first under WWE’s management. Fans are eager to witness an array of thrilling matches, including the Copa Bardahl, a Street Fight for the AAA World Tag Team Championships, and a Fatal Four Way for the AAA Mega Championship.
The Copa Bardahl, a match reminiscent of the Royal Rumble but determined by pinfalls rather than eliminations over the top rope, is a highlight. This year’s event boasts its 13th installment, sponsored by Bardahl, with the winner yet to be announced. Previous champions include notable names such as Laredo Kid and La Hiedra. As speculation swirls regarding participants, predictions suggest that Octagón Jr. may emerge victorious.
Star-Studded Matches Await
In a unique showdown, The Judgement Day, featuring Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, and Raquel Rodriguez, faces off against a team comprising Mr. Iguana, Niño Hamburguesa, and Lola Vice. This match was established following a backstage segment, showcasing the rivalry that has developed between the two factions. Balor, a seasoned veteran with an impressive record, joins forces with McDonagh and Rodriguez, both of whom have made significant impacts in their careers. This match not only highlights the talent of the Judgement Day but also sets the stage for potential future collaborations between WWE and AAA.
The AAA Latin American Championship pits El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. against El Mesías. With a combined wrestling experience of over 42 years, both competitors bring a storied history to the ring. El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. earned this title shot after defeating Mecha Wolf at a previous event, while El Mesías, a 26-year veteran, holds multiple championships. A victory for El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. could signify a shift in AAA’s direction under WWE’s influence.
Another match to watch is the Street Fight for the AAA World Tag Team Championships, where Pagano and Psycho Clown challenge the reigning champions, Los Garza. This confrontation arises from a series of intense encounters, including a prior Four-Way Tag Team match where Los Garza claimed the titles. Pagano and Psycho Clown, both well-known for their high-risk styles, are expected to utilize the Street Fight rules to their advantage.
Women’s Championship and Mega Championship Matches
The AAA Reina de Reinas Championship features a fierce competition among Faby Apache, Natalya, and Lady Flammer. Faby Apache, a veteran with a remarkable 27-year career, returns to AAA after a brief hiatus, while Natalya makes her debut in this high-stakes match. Lady Flammer, the defending champion, has held the title for an impressive 735 days. The outcome of this match may indicate WWE’s strategic intentions regarding the women’s division in AAA.
Finally, the Fatal Four Way for the AAA Mega Championship brings together El Grande Americano, Dragon Lee, Dominik Mysterio, and El Hijo del Vikingo. Dominik Mysterio, who has gained notoriety for his heel persona, looks to solidify his position with a title victory. Each competitor brings a unique set of skills and backgrounds, making this match a potential highlight of the night.
As the excitement builds for Triplemanía XXXIII, fans eagerly anticipate the matches that will not only showcase impressive athleticism but also shape the future of AAA under WWE’s guidance. The outcomes of these events are likely to influence the wrestling landscape in both AAA and WWE, setting the stage for further cross-promotional opportunities and storylines.
