AAA Triplemania XXXIII 8/16/2025 (Results) – Omos Wins Big, Titles Changes, and AJ Styles Stuns the Main Event

AAA’s biggest night of the year, Triplemanía XXXII, went down on August 16th with a stacked card full of surprises, international star power, and wild lucha libre chaos. With Corey Graves, Konnan, and JBL calling the action on English commentary, the show delivered spectacle from start to finish.

Omos Claims La Copa Bardahl

The giant Omos walked away with the annual Copa Bardahl, an over-the-top battle royal that blended Royal Rumble rules with lucha flair. The match featured 14 entrants and plenty of colorful moments:

  • La Parka moonwalking in with a knockoff Thriller entrance.
  • Pimpinela Escarlata trying to kiss Otis.
  • Microman (3’6”) squaring off against Omos (7’4”) and even eliminating Otis before getting gorilla-pressed out of the ring.

The final four came down to La Parka, Octagon Jr., Mecha Wolf, and Omos. La Parka eliminated Wolf, but Omos powered through both tecnicos to stand tall as the last man standing.

Order of entrance: 1. La Parka, 2. Laredo Kid, 3. Joaquin Wilde, 4. Abismo Negro Jr., 5. Taurus, 6. Aerostar, 7. Mecha Wolf, 8. Cruz Del Toro, 9. Otis, 10. Pimpinela Escarlata, 11. Cibernetico, 12. Microman, 13. Omos, 14. Octagon Jr.

Order of elimination: 1. Laredo Kid by Aerostar, 2. Joaquin Wilde by Mecha Wolf, 3. Aerostar by Otis, 4. Taurus by Otis & Pimpinela Escarlata, 5. Pimpinela Escarlata by technically Otis but Mecha Wolf was the real culprit, 6. Cibernetico by Otis & Microman, 7. & 8. Cruz Del Toro and Abismo Negro Jr. by Omos, 9. Otis by Microman, 10. Microman by Omos, 11. Mecha Wolf by La Parka, 12. Octagon Jr. by Omos, 13. La Parka by Omos, Winner: Omos.

El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. Wins Latin American Championship

El Mesias entered dressed in Doctor Doom-inspired gear, but it was El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. who left with the gold. Dorian Roldan’s constant interference backfired when Dr. Wagner Sr., sitting ringside, finally had enough and knocked Roldan out. With the crowd behind him, Wagner Jr. hit a superplex followed by a Wagner Driver to claim the Latin American Championship.

Judgment Day Triumphs in Mixed Trios Action

Finn Bálor, JD McDonagh, and Raquel Rodriguez got the win over Niño Hamburguesa, Mr. Iguana, and Lola Vice in a chaotic mixed trios bout. The match had comedy, cheeseburgers, and plenty of outside drama, with Roxanne Perez and La Hiedra getting involved. In the end, Raquel sealed the win for Judgment Day by planting Lola with the Texana Bomb.

New AAA World Tag Team Champions Crowned

In a brutal street fight, Psycho Clown and Pagano dethroned Angel Garza and Humberto Carrillo to win the AAA World Tag Team Titles. Highlights included Los Garza powerbombing both opponents through a table, Pagano wrapping Humberto in barbed wire, and Psycho Clown finishing things with a Spanish Fly onto the barbed wire for the victory. The Psycho Circus celebrated with the new champs after the carnage.

Konnan Enters AAA Hall of Fame

In one of the night’s most emotional moments, Rey Mysterio inducted Konnan into the AAA Hall of Fame, honoring the legendary figure’s decades-long contributions to lucha libre.

Flammer Retains Reina de Reinas Title

Flammer escaped with her Reina de Reinas Championship against Faby Apache and Natalya, thanks to some shady officiating from El Hijo del Tirantes. Faby nearly had the match won after planting Natalya with a Michinoku Driver, but Flammer stole the victory with a quick crucifix pin and a fast count. Afterward, tensions flared between Faby and Natalya, teasing more to come.

Announcement: Worlds Collide Returns

AAA confirmed that Worlds Collide will return on Friday, September 12, in Las Vegas.

Hijo del Vikingo Retains Mega Championship in Chaotic Main Event

The main event saw Hijo del Vikingo retain the AAA Mega Championship against Dragon Lee, El Grande Americano, and Dominik Mysterio in a four-way spectacle that spiraled into pure chaos.

The match featured interference from Judgment Day, the LWO, and multiple masked “Americanos.” Dominik nearly stole the win with loaded headbutts and a frog splash, but just when it looked over, another masked figure pulled the referee out. The shocking reveal: AJ Styles. Styles laid out Dom with a Styles Clash, allowing Vikingo to hit his signature 630 senton and remain champion.

Final Take: Triplemanía XXXII delivered everything fans expect from AAA – star power, wild brawls, surprise debuts, and jaw-dropping lucha action. Omos had a career-defining moment, multiple titles changed hands, and the arrival of AJ Styles sets the stage for a massive storyline heading into the fall.

Big Changes Coming to AAA as WWE Finalizes Acquisition

The long-rumored WWE takeover of AAA is now official—and the shake-ups are already underway.

As confirmed in this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE has finalized its acquisition of the Mexican lucha libre promotion AAA, and with that comes a significant cultural and structural overhaul. At the heart of WWE’s plan: blending its trademark sports-entertainment formula with the rich traditions of lucha libre, while laying the foundation for long-term talent development south of the border.

Mexican Performance Center On the Way

One of the most immediate changes will be the launch of a WWE Performance Center in Mexico. According to Dave Meltzer, WWE plans to hire Mexican trainers, fly them to the U.S. for instruction in the “WWE style,” and then have them return to Mexico to teach a hybrid style that combines lucha libre flair with WWE’s polished in-ring storytelling. That means new AAA recruits will be learning how to work matches and cut scripted promos—a major shift from the more improvisational, in-ring-centric traditions of Mexican wrestling.

Familiar Faces, But Some Will Go

AAA’s current Spanish commentary team—Jose Manuel Guillén and Roberto Figueroa—is expected to stay in place, and most referees will be retained as well. However, the famously over-the-top antics of AAA referees are going to be scaled back, in favor of a more grounded presentation that aligns with WWE’s overall production style.

WWE is also reportedly not planning to hold onto most of AAA’s veteran talent. Instead, they’ll be looking to bring in younger indie stars and some crossover names from WWE’s own roster. One notable example is Dominik Mysterio, who is expected to work in AAA as part of the new creative direction, alongside newly-signed talent El Grande Americano.

No War With CMLL… Yet

While many speculated that WWE would raid rival promotion CMLL for talent to boost its revamped AAA brand, Meltzer shut that down—at least for now. WWE is reportedly trying to keep operating costs low and avoid an all-out promotional war. That said, Meltzer also noted that a “war is inevitable,” especially with CMLL recently locking down several of its luchadors through dual deals with AEW.

Whether those AEW-CMLL contracts influenced WWE’s current strategy is unclear, but it’s evident that the rivalry between the two major Mexican promotions—and their respective U.S. partners—is starting to heat up.

WWE’s full-scale entry into the lucha libre world is one of the most ambitious international moves in company history. With a Performance Center on the way, younger talent being scouted, and its own stars primed for crossover appearances, WWE is setting the stage to reshape Mexican wrestling—and the global wrestling landscape—in a major way.

Mr. Iguana & Psycho Clown Make WWE Main Roster Debuts On SmackDown In AAA Tag Title Match

In a wild crossover moment that further cements the growing WWE-AAA partnership, two of Mexico’s most colorful and chaotic stars — Mr. Iguana and Psycho Clown — officially made their WWE main roster debuts on SmackDown, answering an open challenge for the AAA Tag Team Championships.

The reigning champions, Los Garza (Angel & Berto), issued the challenge on Friday night, looking to make their first WWE defense of the titles they won back in June. The surprise response? None other than Mr. Iguana, one-third of the AAA World Trios Champions, and Psycho Clown, one-half of the current AAA World Mixed Tag Team Champions.

True to form, the match was fast, frantic, and full of lucha-laced chaos.

Psycho Clown started strong, using his size and energy to overwhelm Los Garza early on. But the tide quickly turned once the champions isolated him and started a brutal double-team assault. Mr. Iguana, known for his unorthodox offense (and his trusty puppet sidekick La Yesca), made a memorable impact by biting Berto and attempting a high-risk aerial move. Unfortunately, he was caught in mid-air and powerbombed hard, shifting momentum firmly in Los Garza’s favor.

Despite a valiant rally from Clown — including a crowd-popping crossbody — the duo couldn’t overcome the cohesion of the champions. Los Garza finished things off with their signature MTY double-team finisher for the win.

While Iguana and Clown didn’t leave with the titles, their SmackDown debut made it clear: AAA’s presence in WWE is no longer a novelty — it’s part of the landscape.

Both luchadores had previously appeared in June during Worlds Collide, the WWE vs. AAA special event. Mr. Iguana teamed with Octagón Jr. and Aerostar in six-man action, while Psycho Clown joined Pagano and El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. in a brawl-heavy bout against Legado del Fantasma.

Now, with their official debuts behind them, fans are left wondering — is this just a one-off showcase, or the beginning of something bigger?

WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett escorted out of building after controversial segment at Triplemania XXX: Monterrey

WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett is still drawing a considerable amount of heat from wrestling fans in 2022.

Saturday night at Triplemania XXX: Monterrey, Jarrett interrupted a lifetime achievement ceremony for AAA legend Latin Lover in his hometown of Monterrey, Mexico. Jarrett received a tremendous amount of heat from the live crowd throughout the segment for his controversial comments on the microphone.

In the end, he was run off by Latin Lover and a returning Vampiro, who is well known in Mexico but most famous in the US for his run with WCW.

In an update from Lucha Libre Online, it seems the wrestling commission in Monterrey was prepared for Jarrett’s antics this time around. They confiscated the tortillas that the WWE Hall of Famer planned to throw into the crowd as he has done at AAA events in the past.

Even without the tortillas, security reportedly had to stop “multiple fans” who attempted to hop the guardrail and attack Jarrett and his wife Karen, who also took part in the angle last night.

Jeff Jarrett’s heat with the Monterrey crowd was so intense that he had to be escorted out of the venue by eight members of security for his own safety. The company also had to provide additional security at Jarrett’s hotel after the show due to overzealous fans wanting to get their hands on the former NWA Champion.

Jeff Jarrett has a long history of causing trouble down in Mexico. The WWE Hall of Famer nearly caused a riot in 2005 when he appeared at a AAA event in Mexico City. During that incident, fans rushed the ring and threw rocks at Jarrett, who responded by throwing tortillas at them, enraging the crowd further.

This was hardly the first time he had to be escorted from the arena by city police, however, as he’d done something similar the year before after defeating Latin Lover at a AAA event.

While there were no visible objects thrown last night, it seems the fans in Mexico have not forgiven the Hall of Famer.

The Hardys Announced For AAA’s TripleMania XXX

The AEW involvement in AAA’s TripleMania XXX events in 2022 will now include the Hardys

Announced at a press conference held in Tijuana on Tuesday afternoon, Matt and Jeff Hardy will compete at the second TripleMania XXX event in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico on June 18. They will take on former Ring of Honor star Dragon Lee and former CMLL star Dralistico, themselves a brother tag team.

The Hardy Boyz become the eighth and ninth AEW stars to compete on one of the three TripleMania XXX shows taking place in 2022. Andrade, Penta El Zero Miedo, Rey Fenix, Sammy Guevara, Tay Conti and the Young Bucks are all scheduled for the first TripleMania XXX event in Monterrey on April 30. The Young Bucks will headline the event against Fenix and AAA Mega Champion Hijo del Vikingo.

Missing are AEW team FTR, who are the current AAA World Tag Team Champions. It is unknown if they will be added to the Tijuana event or TripleMania XXX in Mexico City this October. Last week the Young Bucks declared they’d be returning to AAA as AAA World Tag Team Champions, indicating a potential title match with FTR soon on AEW TV.

This will be Jeff Hardy’s first appearance in AAA and Matt Hardy’s second; he previously competed in AAA’s Lucha Libre World Cup in 2015, where he, Johnny Mundo (John Morrison), and Mr. Anderson reached the finals as Team USA before losing to Team AAA (Alberto El Patron, Myzteziz and Rey Mysterio).

The brothers also have competed for lucha libre promotion The Crash, where they won the promotion’s tag team titles in 2017.

In addition to the Hardy Boyz vs. Dragon Lee and Dralistico, TripleMania XXX in Tijuana will feature the semi-finals of the ongoing mask vs. mask tournament featuring El Canek vs. Psycho Clown, LA Park vs. Villano IV, Blue Demon Jr. vs. Rayo de Jalisco Jr. and Penta vs. Ultimo Dragon. The losers of each match will move onto the semi-finals, and the losers of the semi-finals match will then compete in a mask vs. mask match at TripleMania XXX in Mexico City this October.

At today’s press conference, AAA President Dorian Roldan revealed that all the winners in the first round of the mask tournament at TripleMania XXX Monterrey will take part at TripleMania XXX Tijuana. No other matches were announced. As with AAA TripleMania XXX Monterrey, AAA TripleMania XXX Tijuana will air on FITE TV, with English and Spanish commentary.
