CMLL
CMLL (SUN) 06/26/2022 Arena México [CMLL]
1) Micro Gemelo Diablo I & Micro Gemelo Diablo II b Átomo & Chamuel
2) Cachorro, Leono, Suicida b Dr. Karonte I, Dr. Karonte II, Enfermero Jr.
Tecnicos took 1/3
3) El Audaz, Guerrero Maya Jr., Volcano b Disturbio, Okumura, Raider
Tencicos took 2/3
4) Gemelo Diablo I, Gemelo Diablo II, Sagrado b Dulce Gardenia, Espíritu Negro, Rey Cometa
World Trios champs took 1/3 over the nationla champs
5) Atlantis, Titán, Volador Jr. b Euforia, Felino, Hechicero
Felino replaced Rey Bucanero on Thursday
The usual nothing Sunday show.
Mistico is out with an ankle injury he picked up Friday in Monterrey. Soberano replaces him tonight in Puebla. It’s unclear how long he’ll be out after that; he’s not listed on Tuesday shows and CMLL hasn’t revealed anything beyond that. That Puebla show has Los Malditos (Sagrado & Gemelo Diablos) against Los Guerreros. I was sure Ultimo Guerrero was going to win Copa Dinasita and he didn’t; maybe a make-up win is coming tonight? Those titles feel much more in jeopardy than a usual off-Friday defense.
For completeness sake, La Vaquerita replaces La Guerrera on Tuesday’s Arena Mexico show.

Semi-main is a rematch, so maybe a singles match next week.
AAA
AAA TV (SUN) 06/26/2022 Showcenter Complex, San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo Leon [@thekoko666, Telediario]
1) Villano III Jr. b Komander [Showcenter Tournament, torneo]
very good match
2) Antifaz, Carta Brava Jr., Toscano b Aramis, Laredo Kid, Willie Mack
Antifaz fouled Laredo Kid and got away with it.
3) Flammer b Christi Jaynes
Taya appeared post match to talk up her impending title match with Flammer
4) Abismo Negro Jr. & Johnny Caballero b Arez & Fénix
Taya supported Arez & Fenix against Johnny. Vipers/Arez feud goes on.
5) Dragón Lee b Jack Cartwheel [Showcenter Tournament, torneo]
“tremendous” match
6) Mr. Iguana, Niño Hamburguesa, Pagano b Chessman, Sam Adonis, Taurus
Iguana beat Chessman
Dragon Lee & Jack Cartwheel got lots of raves live, appeared to easily be match of the night. Microman was with the tecnicos, which might have been the expected turn or might just be AAA randomness. Remaining first round men’s tournament Winner’s Bracket matches are Fenix/Flip Gordon, Dralistico/Baby Extreme, Dinamico/Latigo, Bandido/Chris Daniels, Abismo Negro/Arez and Laredo Kid/Puma King; pick two of those for the next show.
No idea when this airs. The announcers were there. The video I saw makes it look like someone using a phone on a selfie stick for as a ringside camera, which seems weird. AAA posted a lot of clips on Twitter and other social media (though not using that phone.) It felt like they were just trying to remind people these shows are happening, though I’m not sure why don’t use their TV show to do that more often. They’re back in the Showcenter on July 24th.
Albert in the comments of the last post noted Villano III Jr. missed the Madero show due to flight issues. The US is not having a good time at flying people from place A to place B of late and Villano III Jr. seems to be in El Paso a fair bit since his girlfriend lives there.
Segunda Caida mentioned Sammy & Tay defended the AAA Mixed Tag Team championship against Flip Gordon & Ashley D’Amboise on the 06/19 NEW wrestling show, which was the first I’d heard of it.
FTR added the IWGP tag team championships to the ROH and AAA ones last night, something AAA made sure to note; they retweeted a NJPW tweet showing the AAA belts. (NJPW also pointedly did not mention the AAA belts in their recap of the match.) FTR becoming IWGP chapions means they’re unlikely to take any losses until they lose those belts, but I think AAA is perfectly content with that situation. The IWGP titles do not prevent FTR from defending the AAA belts in Mexico and I’m sure they’ll be back at some point, but I wouldn’t expect to see them often. We haven’t seen any AAA belts defended in Mexico at all this year that often so it effectively makes no difference.
IWRG
IWRG (SUN) 06/26/2022 Arena Naucalpan [IWRG, Mas Lucha]
1) Spider Fly b Águila Oriental, Viajero
2) Limbo & Rey Halcón b Estrella de Oro & Genex
3) Cerebro Negro Jr. & Hellboy b Caballero de Plata & Legendario
Caballero appeared to want to martinete Hellboy, the referee broke it up, Hellboy used the confusion to land the Hell Driver on Caballero for the win.
4) Coco Rojo, Coco Verde, Cocolores b Leo, Mafioso, Shaun Moore
Leo replaced Fly Warrior
5) Puma de Oro b Aster Boy, Noisy Boy
Doctors originally blocked Noisy Boy from wrestling after getting beat up on Thursday and Aster Boy was there to replace him. Puma then injured Aster Boy and Noisy Boy pleaded his way to take his spot back. He then lost.
6) Gran Pandemónium, Hijo de Pandemónium, Pandemónium Jr. b Cerebro Negro, Dick Angelo 3G, Tonalli
The Cerebro Negro/Jaucan alliance didn’t last the full match
That semimain sounds like a lot. It feels like Hellboy and Caballero de Plata have been feuding forever, but it looks like it’s only been since April. They were teaming before that, so maybe that’s why it feels longer, or maybe it’s just IWRG feuds are either really short or never ending.
