WWE is amplifying the promotion of the AAA TripleMania XXXIII event, taking place on Saturday, August 16, 2025, live from Arena CDMX in Mexico City. The event will stream live on WWE’s YouTube channels, including WWE Español, offering fans worldwide access. Central to this year’s show is the Copa Bardahl Match, a unique battle royale styled similarly to WWE’s Royal Rumble format, raising the excitement surrounding the annual special.
Details on the Copa Bardahl Match and Event Highlights
The Copa Bardahl Match features participants entering at timed intervals, mirroring the entry pattern seen in traditional Royal Rumble matches. Unlike WWE’s Royal Rumble, eliminations occur via pinfall rather than over-the-top-rope exits, and the last remaining wrestler claims the prestigious Copa Bardahl trophy. This distinct format blends familiar aspects of WWE with Lucha Libre traditions, bringing a fresh dynamic to the competition.
Alongside the Copa Bardahl, the card includes several high-profile bouts with WWE crossover stars, creating a star-studded lineup. The Latin American Championship will see champion El Mesías defend against El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. Meanwhile, the Reina de Reinas Title will be contested in a triple threat match involving Flammer, the current titleholder, facing Faby Apache and Natalya.
Wrestling fans will also witness the induction of Konnan into the AAA Hall of Fame, an honor to be presented by Rey Mysterio, highlighting the event’s celebration of Mexican wrestling history. Other key matches include a brutal AAA Tag Title Street Fight between champions Angel & Berto and challengers Pagano & Psycho Clown; a six-person tag team match featuring Niño Hamburguesa, Mr. Iguana, and Lola Vice against WWE’s Finn Bálor, JD McDonough, and Raquel Rodriguez; and a four-way fatal match for the AAA Mega Title with El Hijo del Vikingo defending against Dragon Lee, Dominik Mysterio, and El Grande Americano.
WWE’s Streaming Strategy and Cross-Promotion Impact
The event’s live stream on WWE’s platforms signifies ongoing collaboration between WWE and AAA. Broadcasting simultaneously in Spanish and English, WWE is leveraging its global reach to deliver AAA’s marquee event to a broader audience while integrating WWE talent to enhance the card’s appeal. This crossover effect generates increased interest from fans of both promotions.
This Saturday, the biggest AAA event of the year, Triplemanía XXXIII, will stream LIVE exclusively on the WWE, WWE Español and Lucha Libre AAA YouTube channels at 9 ET/6 PT.
