Dorada made it back up to become the first person out of the cage. She instead leaped off the top for a plancha onto many of the women. Sexy Star and Reina Dorada battled near the top of the cage, Dorada knocked Star away and had an opportunity to escape. Luchadoras started to escape about five minutes into the match. The four rudas betrayed each other for no reason, and the match shifted into more one-on-one.
Sexy Star briefly turned it around for the tecnicas after a missed cookie sheet swing by Maravilla, but the superior numbers helped the rudas. The Toxicas team (Hiedra, Flammer, and Maravilla) worked with Chik Tormenta to take out the other three for the early minutes. The match began as a typical slow chaotic cage match brawl, with the luchadoras using charis and cookie sheets left inside. Multi-person cage matches in Mexican wrestling are escape rules, with escapes counting only after a pre-announced time period (five minutes here.) The final two people left in this cage match advanced to a standard 1v1 mask match later in the evening. The FITE broadcast began with the Spanish announcers on the English feed and vice versa FITE has struggled a bit with dual language AAA feeds since they’ve come on board.įlammer & Chik Tormenta lost a cage match also including Lady Shani, La Hiedra, Sexy Star (II), Maravilla, and Reina Dorada (23:32) An edited version will also appear on AAA’s YouTube channel sometime in July. Dragon Lee, wrestling he believed he was one great performance from joining his brother Rush in AEW, worked exceptionally hard in a match that was otherwise a standard main event. That mystery wrestler ended up being AAA regular John Hennigan as “Johnny Hardy.” He literally played the role of Jeff in the main event, though in an annoying heel fashion.

Konnan, in an interview with media partner TV Azteca, later explained AAA sought to bring in an AEW name only to find none were available.
On Friday, AAA said they’d keep Matt Hardy’s new partner a mystery. AAA director Dorian Roldan stated at a Wednesday afternoon press conference that the promotion would announce a replacement later that night, which did not end up happening. Most of the discussion about TripleMania this week was about how AAA would handle Jeff Hardy’s absence. The women’s cage match and Copa TripleMania can easily be skipped by later viewers. The women’s match was enjoyable if you’re used to and accepting AAA’s patterns of interference. A segment honoring Konnan was positive and surprisingly straightforward. Blue Demon even did about as best as can be hoped from him in his tournament match with Pentagon Jr. Villano IV continued his run of good performances built around very real-looking punches in his match with Psycho Clown. A five-way match between Fenix, Taurus, Laredo Kid, Bandido, and Hijo del Vikingo will go down as one of the most spectacular bouts of the year.
The show itself delivered in match quality.
