Good Lucha Things - AAA Lucha Libre recap for February 28, 2026

El Grande Americano II heads to the ring to start tonight's show. He says it is beautiful to be back home with his people in Monterey, and says that it is emotional. He says that he is not here to talk, but to deal with El Grande Americano I, who he claims has come to his house to steal his name, his colors and his people. He also says that he uses AI to speak Spanish, as he does not know how to speak the language. He tells El Grande Americano I to listen to him, as he does not understand where he is standing and that this is not Raw in the United States; this is Mexico. He says that a good friend of his is in the back ready to interview in Spanish right now, without filters and without AI to see if he can really speak Spanish. He then asks the friend if he can hear him. The friend is none other than Pimpinela Escarlata in a suit and hat, and Pimpinella is backstage to interview El Grande Americano I backstage. El Grande Americano I is not in the mood to talk, and Pimpinella presses further, breaking into his dressing room and calling him a phony who cannot speak Spanish. El Grande Americano I hits Pimpinella with one of his sneakers and a chair before punching him a few times in the head. El Grande Americano I has to be held back as Pimpinela Escarlata - who is supposed to compete in a four-way qualifier for Rey de Reyes tonight - is checked on by medical personnel.

Dorian says he is several steps ahead of him and that he will maintain control of this company, and that . He then says that Vikingo should be focused on Dominik, and wants to get a match for him to get him prepared.
