The highly anticipated AAA Triplemanía XXXIII takes place tonight at the **Arena Ciudad de México** in Mexico City, marking the 33rd annual edition of this renowned event. As the flagship event for AAA (Asistencia Asesoría y Administración), Triplemanía has consistently showcased some of the most electrifying matches in lucha libre since its inception. This year, the event stands out as it is the first Triplemanía under the management of **WWE**, adding an extra layer of excitement for fans.
Among the highlights of the evening are several thrilling matches, including the **Copa Bardahl**, a six-person tag match, a street fight for the **AAA World Tag Team Championships**, and a triple threat for the **AAA Reina de Reinas Championship**. The night will culminate with a fatal four-way match for the **AAA Mega Championship**.
Copa Bardahl Set for Action
The **Copa Bardahl**, akin to a Royal Rumble but with eliminations via pinfall, is one of the event’s signature matches. This year marks its 13th installment, sponsored by Bardahl. Past winners include notable luchadores such as **Laredo Kid** and **La Parka**. Although specific participants for this year’s event have not been announced, speculation suggests **Octagón Jr.** could emerge victorious.
Judgement Day Faces Off Against Local Stars
In an intriguing match, the faction known as **Judgement Day**, consisting of **Finn Balor**, **JD McDonagh**, and **Raquel Rodriguez**, will take on **Mr. Iguana**, **Niño Hamburguesa**, and **Lola Vice**. This matchup developed from a backstage segment where Dominik Mysterio sought assistance to combat local talent. The Judgement Day brings significant experience, with Balor, a 24-year veteran, holding numerous championships across various promotions.
Mr. Iguana, a seasoned luchador with 16 years of experience, aims to capitalize on his rising popularity. However, the combination of Balor, McDonagh, and Rodriguez is expected to overpower the local favorites, potentially paving the way for a championship opportunity.
Championship Matches Highlight the Evening
The **AAA Latin American Championship** match features **El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr.** facing off against **El Mesías**. El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. earned this title shot following a victory at **Verano de Escándalo**. Both competitors are well-established in the lucha libre scene, with El Mesías boasting a remarkable 26-year career filled with numerous championships. A victory for El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. could signify the beginning of an upward trajectory in AAA and possibly a future move to WWE.
In another compelling encounter, **Pagano** and **Psycho Clown** will challenge **Los Garza** in a street fight for the **AAA World Tag Team Championships**. Pagano, a veteran with 17 years of experience, promises a chaotic and intense match style that aligns perfectly with the street fight format. This match adds additional stakes, as Pagano and Psycho Clown aim to reclaim their titles after a series of previous encounters.
Women’s Championship on the Line
The **AAA Reina de Reinas Championship** is up for grabs in a triple threat match featuring **Faby Apache**, **Natalya**, and **Lady Flammer**. Apache returns to AAA after a brief hiatus, bringing with her a storied legacy. Natalya makes her debut in AAA, adding significant star power to the match. Lady Flammer, the reigning champion, will look to defend her title after holding it for 735 days, making this match a pivotal moment for the women’s division.
Final Showdown for the AAA Mega Championship
The night will conclude with a fatal four-way match for the **AAA Mega Championship**, featuring **El Grande Americano**, **Dragon Lee**, **Dominik Mysterio**, and **El Hijo del Vikingo**. Dominik Mysterio, in particular, has garnered a reputation as one of the most compelling heels in wrestling today. His victory could further enhance his narrative arc and provide AAA with greater visibility on WWE platforms.
This evening’s event promises a blend of high-stakes drama, athleticism, and the unique flair of lucha libre, while also setting the stage for future storylines in both AAA and WWE.
