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.

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.
