Good Lucha Things - Lucha Libre AAA recap for January 31, 2026

El Ojo (Dorian Roldan and Omos) head to the ring. Roldan tells the fans that they do not understand that this is a new era in AAA, and that he comes from the best family of wrestling promoters. He says that over thirty years ago, his uncle created this company, and that he has taken AAA to where it is at now. Roldan says that it is thanks to him that AAA has some of the best wrestlers in the world for many years. He says that money can buy anything, and that he has the best wrestler right now, El Hijo del Vikingo. Vikingo shows up and heads to the ring, and says that whether anyone likes it or not, he is #1 contender for the AAA Mega Champion. He calls El Grande Americano a false idol and proclaims that he squashed him like a cockroach before asking the fans why they support "a false Mexican" and insulting their intelligence for doing it. Vikingo says he wanted to represent AAA, but the fans turned their backs on him, and in response, he will turn his back on all of them. He states that at Rey de Reyes, he thought he would see his people, but not anymore, and that he is going to win for himself. All of a sudden, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio shows up on the TitanTron and congratulates El Hijo del Vikingo for his new family before admitting he has never seen so many cowards in one ring in his life. He then tells Vikingo that at Rey de Reyes, he will be in the main event in his hometown of Puebla thanks to him, and that the people in Puebla will butcher him when he is there. He says that it will be the last time Vikingo will be in the ring with him when he humiliates him and becomes the king of the luchadors.

We see the rules of the Rey de Reyes tournament.

TJ Perkins beats Chris Carter, Mini Vikingo and Elio LaFleur in a Fatal 4-Way to become #1 contender for the AAA Cruiserweight Championship after Perkins hits Carter with a Mamba Splash after pulling . After the match, El Ojo (Dorian Rolan, Omos, El Hijo del Vikingo) shows up, and TJ Perkins tosses Mini Vikingo into the ring where El Ojo is. Omos scoops Mini Vikingo up for a powerbomb, and El Hijo del Vikingo laughs before telling Mini Vikingo that nobody can help him now and that this will be the last time he will do his moves and use his name. Omos then powerbombs Mini Vikingo again.

We see a vignette for The War Raiders (Ivar and Erik), who will be coming to AAA in two weeks.

Lola Vice beats La Hiedra to become Mr. Iguana's tag team partner for the upcoming AAA Mixed Tag Team Championships match after La Hiedra is caught grabbing the trunks on a schoolkid pin. Mr. Iguana is the special guest referee for this match (and seems to count Lola Vice's pin faster than La Hiedra's tights-grabbing pinfall attempt just moments before). After the match, "All Ego" Ethan Page and Chelsea Green find that they have little time to prepare for a Mr. Iguana-Lola Vice combination and move to "Plan B."

We hear from Santos Escobar. He talks about his history with Rey Mysterio and addresses how he answered El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr.'s open challenge before stating that it is his destiny to beat him for the AAA Latin American Championship.

La Parka beats Aerostar, Jack Cartwheel and Apollo Crews in a Fatal 4-Way Rey de Reyes Tournament qualifier.
