Triplemania 34, the flagship event of Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, is set to take place on Friday and Sunday nights, offering a two‑night showcase of Mexican wrestling talent. While WWE names such as Dominik Mysterio, Rey Mysterio, Nattie and Roxanne Perez will appear, the real draw, according to WWE and AAA broadcaster Corey Graves, will be the home‑grown AAA stars.
Mr. Iguana draws attention
Graves highlighted the colorful character Mr. Iguana, noting his growing popularity after the first WWE‑AAA co‑promoted show, Worlds Collide, last year. “He isn’t a physically large competitor, but he’s an incredible athlete and a dangerous jiu‑jitsu master,” Graves said. “He paints himself green and even brings a stuffed iguana into the ring, creating a circus‑meets‑sports‑entertainment vibe that fans love.”
La Parka and future stars
Another marquee match will see La Parka defend the AAA Latin American Championship against Laredo Kid and Mr. Iguana. Graves recalled La Parka’s appearance in the tournament that determined Roman Reigns’ challenger for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, saying the wrestler’s style will excite the crowd.
Graves also mentioned El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. as a rising talent who is “still young, still figuring things out, getting experience under his belt” and could become a major player in the coming years.
Cruiserweight showdown promises fireworks
The AAA Cruiserweight Championship match, scheduled for Sunday, will feature a fatal‑four‑way bout. The champion, either Rey Fénix or Ricky Saints, will face Mini Vikingo, Jack Cartwheel and Nathan Frazer. Graves praised Jack Cartwheel, calling him a performer who “has just absolutely set the world on fire” and whose athleticism is “off the charts.” He added, “When the cruiserweights are in the ring, it’s unbelievable – this match will leave jaws on the floor.”
Why Triplemania matters to fans
Graves believes AAA offers something for everyone, whether viewers are in Las Vegas, Mexico City or watching from home. He emphasized the cultural resonance of the phrase “Esto es lucha” (“This is wrestling”), which Mexican fans use to express excitement, comparable to English‑speaking fans shouting “this is awesome.”
With a blend of high‑flying action, colorful characters and cross‑promotion talent, Triplemania 34 is positioned to impress both longtime Lucha Libre followers and newcomers drawn in by WWE’s involvement.
What to expect
Fans can anticipate a mix of traditional Mexican wrestling style, innovative athletic displays and surprise appearances from WWE stars. The event underscores AAA’s commitment to delivering world‑class entertainment while highlighting the depth of talent within its own roster.
