Good Lucha Things - Lucha Libre AAA recap for July 11, 2026

Mini Vikingo beats Jack Cartwheel and Dragon Lee in a Triple Threat Match to become #1 contender for the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship.

Backstage, General Manager Rey Mysterio meets with El Grande Americano. Rey admits that he does not know what El Grande Americano has planned, and warns him that Los Perros del Mal has contained some of the most dangerous badasses in lucha libre for many years. He says that El Grande Americano was attacked because he is the biggest dog in the yard and that they have already marked their territory, and that he cannot fight them alone. El Grande Americano agrees, and says that if he has been made a target, then he is not taking a step back. He also agrees that he cannot win this war alone. Suddenly, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio shows up and blames what has happened on Rey before stating that Los Perros del Mal (Angel, Berto, Daga, Bronco Nima, Karmen Petrovic) is full of opportunists. Rey holds his tongue out of the fact that Dominik has decided to return to AAA, then leaves. Dominik says he stayed out of El Grande Americano's mask vs. mask match because he knew none of them would win and eventually face him in the biggest TripleMania match AAA has ever seen, and that the match will not happen if El Grande Americano is in a hospital bed thanks to Los Perros del Mal. Dominik says that if El Grande Americano is a target, then so is he, and if they come, they must have each other's backs. El Grande Americano says he will believe that when he sees it.

Backstage, Dorian Roldan, who is holding the AAA Latin American Championship, tells Omos that tonight is his night and that what happened to El Hijo del Vikingo last week is unfortunate. They suddenly run into Mini Vikingo, and Omos almost has to hold Mini Vikingo back.

Dorian Roldan and Omos head to the ring. Roldan announces that due to the negligence of General Manager Rey Mysterio, El Hijo del Vikingo has a knee injury, and despite an operation last week, he will be out for months. He says that El Hijo del Vikingo deserves respect, especially when he was sent to North America and got hurt because of Rey Mysterio, who Roldan states that he will sue personally for negligence. He says that if Rey does not take priority, then he will make an executive decision himself and name a new AAA Latin American Champion: Omos, who he gives the title to. Roldan says that if anyone has a problem with Omos as champion, then they can get in the ring, look Omos in the eyes and try to take the title away. Suddenly, Rey Mysterio shows up and heads to the ring. He wishes the best for El Hijo del Vikingo, especially after having so many knee injuries himself, and hopes that El Hijo del Vikingo gets better. Rey then says that Roldan does not have the right to name a new champion, then demands Omos one time only to relinquish the AAA Latin American Championship. Omos approaches Rey and dwarfs him in size as Rey demands that Omos do the right thing or get suspended from AAA indefinitely. Omos hands the title to Rey, but not without shoving him into the ring ropes. Rey declares the AAA Latin American Championship vacant, and that next week, he will announce how a new champion will be crowned. Rey then tells Dorian Roldan that if he wants to sue him, then he will see him in court.

We hear from Damian Priest, who tells General Manager Rey Mysterio that if he needs a new AAA Latin American Champion, then he need look no further, for he is here.

He also mentions that La Hiedra has approached him about the AAA Mixed Tag Team Championships and has been given one more opportunity in which she teams up with Laredo Kid against Joaquin Wilde and the returning Faby Apache, with the winners facing Lola Vice and Mr. Iguana for the AAA Mixed Tag Team Championships at Verano de Escandalo. On the subject of El Hijo del Vikingo, Rey announces that Vikingo will be out of action for months, which happens in wrestling, and that this will open up some opportunities. He will have more details next week on what is planned, and says that he is truly excited for it. Rey says he personally owes Andrade Bazarte a phone call, and invites her to AAA next week, as they have a lot to talk about.

Money Machine (Colmillo de Plata and Garra de Oro) vs. Noisy Boy and Epydemius Jr. ends with both teams being attacked by Los Perros del Mal (Angel, Berto, Daga, Bronco Nima, Karmen Petrovic). Daga then calls out El Grande Americano so they can settle things, or else they will continue to attack Money Machine, who have had their clothes ripped apart by Los Perros del Mal. El Grande Americano shows up and brings Rayo Americano and Bravo Americano with him. This leads to a brawl, and Los Perros del Mal easily overpower the three of them. All of a sudden, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio shows up with a metal folding chair and forces Los Perros del Mal to retreat. He says that he does not know why Los Perros del Mal is here, but they will not mess with his business, and challenges two members of Los Perros del Mal to a tag team match against himself and El Grande Americano.
