Main Event Overview: AAA Rey de Reyes
On March 14, 2026, Dominik Mysterio faced El Hijo del Vikingo in a No Disqualification match for the AAA Mega Championship at the AAA Rey de Reyes event in Puebla, Mexico. The stakes were high: if Mysterio lost, he would be permanently banned from AAA, while a loss for Vikingo would prevent him from challenging for the title again. The match quickly escalated into chaos, with both competitors utilizing weapons such as kendo sticks, steel chairs, and garbage cans.
During the match, Mysterio sustained a significant head injury after being struck with a steel chair by Vikingo, resulting in a visible gash. Despite the injury and interference from Vikingo's ally Dorian Roldán and the imposing Omos, Mysterio ultimately triumphed, pinning Vikingo after executing a Frog Splash, thus retaining his championship.
Post-Match Developments and Future Implications
Following his victory, Mysterio shared images of his injury on social media, accompanied by the defiant message “#AndStill.” This win not only solidified his status as AAA Mega Champion but also ensured his continued presence in AAA wrestling. The next challenger for Mysterio's title is El Grande Americano, who won the 2026 AAA Rey de Reyes tournament and is set to face Mysterio at an unspecified future date.
In the WWE landscape, Mysterio's recent loss of the Intercontinental Championship to Penta has raised questions about his WrestleMania 42 plans, scheduled for April 18-19 in Las Vegas. Speculation suggests a potential match against Finn Balor, following a recent conflict within their faction, The Judgment Day.
Criticism and Concerns
While Mysterio's victory was celebrated, the circumstances surrounding his injury have sparked concerns regarding his health and readiness for upcoming events. Critics have pointed out the risks associated with such high-stakes matches, particularly when involving weapons and outside interference. The lack of an official update on Mysterio's condition post-match has further fueled discussions among fans and analysts alike.
