Dominik Mysterio has been announced as one of the challengers in the upcoming Dominik Mysterio AAA Championship Challenge at Triplemanía XXXIII, set for August 16 in Mexico City. Alongside three other WWE stars, Mysterio will face AAA Mega Champion El Hijo Del Vikingo in a high-profile four-way match, marking a significant WWE appearance within the Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide promotion.
Four-Way Match Set for AAA Mega Championship at Triplemanía XXXIII
The AAA Mega Championship will be defended by El Hijo Del Vikingo against three prominent challengers: WWE Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio, Dragon Lee, and El Grande Americano. This crossover event follows WWE’s acquisition of Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide in April, signaling increased collaboration between the promotions. The match was officially announced after a tense confrontation during the July 25 AAA Alianzas show, where Vikingo issued an open challenge that led to altercations between Dragon Lee and El Grande Americano in the ring.
The situation escalated when a masked figure attacked both Dragon Lee and Vikingo, later revealing himself as Dominik Mysterio, who made a surprising appearance to stake his claim for the championship. This marked one of several WWE appearances scheduled for AAA Alianzas, intertwining the two wrestling worlds as the event approaches.
Background and Build-Up to the Championship Challenge
El Hijo Del Vikingo has been prominently featured as the face of AAA following WWE’s acquisition of the promotion, emphasizing the importance of the AAA Mega Championship within the expanding partnership. The July open challenge by Vikingo at AAA Alianzas was met by multiple challengers, setting the stage for the multi-competitor contest that will headline Triplemanía XXXIII.
The announcement was confirmed officially, with the promotional graphic revealing the four-way contest including Mysterio, Lee, and Americano, promising an electrifying defense for Vikingo in front of passionate fans at Arena CDMX. This match highlights the growing interconnection and talent exchange between WWE and AAA.
