Air Date: 06/20 & 06/27…or 07/04 & 07/11, if the World Cup is just aired as a normal show. It’s also likely this will end up on iPPV.
Rey makes his regular big show appearance against an unexpected opponent. Johnny Mundo turned rudo last night on Lucha Underground, but it was assumed he’d be coming to Mexico as a tecnico. Doesn’t appear that way now, as he’s set up as a rival for Misterio. Maybe this leads into TripleMania somehow. This is a fun looking lineup, but there’s no obvious set up for the big match at TripleMania.
Alberto and Cage finally have their title match. It actually does seem like something that could be brought for TripleMania, but it feels like this is the moment where Alberto wins and it’s not a strong match after that. Something indecisive is definitely possible.
Cage match could steal the show. The storyline is La Secta feel overlooked by management, the reality seems to be AAA overlooks Secta sometimes and brings them back for feuds at other times. Those feuds never seem to end well, they really could use this one turning out better.
The mystery man on Electroshock’s team has to be Kronos, but maybe with a new name? I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t be after all this time.
Alas de Oro – AAA’s version of Reyes del Aire – hasn’t been run as part of a normal TV show since 2008. Good to see it back. This is just as much as sequel to the Triplemania cruiserweight ten match, which also was scheduled to feature 10 people. Kind of thinking the mystery man in this one might be to protect against someone no-showing this time. Angelico, Australian Suicide, Jack Evans, Joe Lider and Pentagon are replaced by Aerostar, Steve Pain (back again!), Super Nova (healed?), Super Fly and the mystery man.
Dinastia and Mini Psycho Clown keep their feud going in the opener. Taya & Faby continue to be on a lot of TV shows, and are pretty much the only women used.
Texano Jr. not being on the card is strange. I think that’s the first major one he hasn’t been on since he joined AAA. It could be a numbers thing, but I wonder if there’s a chance of him being sent some place else as part of a trade for the Lucha World Cup.

What’s the legal matters of Texano appearing on ROH or tna tv since he has a LU contract?
I would imagine appearing in TNA or ROH would be a no go… Japan on the other hand….
Meltzer, when discussing what Ricochet today, said Lucha Underground contracts don’t allow you to be on another US TV show. Which would make a Texano not very valuable to TNA or ROH.
Japan makes more sense to me too, but there may be different problems there too. NJPW’s been so tight with CMLL and are apparently booking NOAH, so would that preclude them from bringing in Texano (or anyone else?) Would AAA send Texano to AJPW when they’ve only really sent Kenzo? I dunno.
I think the order of likely hood is
1) he’ll end up seconding someone on the show
2) it’s lucha libre so he won’t be there but there will never be an explanation
3) he’s going to Japan/USA/Rest of the World
but 3 at least exists as a possibility where it didn’t prior
Wonder if VdE will be eclipsed by the Lucha World Cup, or if some people will skip the WC to get here…
Black Family cage match has to be a hair match… right? Way up the card for it to be just a buildup match, who knows, trios title match is so low they could be heading to a show elsewhere (with Texano Jr waiting for Psycho). AAAMania will probably have Clowns(+ Parka) vs Hell Brothers hairs/masks match near the main event, with a middle of the card stip match.
Alas the Oro ? might be Ricochet or Son of Havoc?
