AAA points Galeno and Omos toward a giant showdown on the June 13 episode
Saturday's WWE x AAA episode reached television on June 13, but it was taped weeks earlier in Mexico City. That gap matters. Watched now, the show plays less like a list of results and more like a blueprint for two collisions AAA is steadily building toward, one between giants and one between rival women's factions.
The night's bookends were a pair of handicap wins that told a single story. Galeno, the younger brother of El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr., overpowered Golden Jacket and Galio before stacking both for a splash off the ropes.
Omos then answered directly. Through manager Dorian Roldan he demanded three opponents rather than two, and AAA general manager Rey Mysterio signed off. Omos ran through Chris Carter, Daimo and Kingoo, finishing by piling all three under a powerbomb and sitting on the heap.
Booked back to back, these were not random showcases. They read as a measuring contest, and the obvious destination is Galeno against Omos, a battle of size AAA now has every reason to make.
Mr. Iguana and Lola Vice, the reigning NXT Women's Champion, retained the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Titles they won on February 7, with Iguana pinning Joaquin Wilde after an Iguanarana. For La Hiedra it was another near miss with yet another partner.
The finish was only a setup. La Hiedra went after Iguana, Lola Vice stepped in, and Las Toxias members Flammer and Lady Maravilla joined the pile before Bayley and La Catalina evened the numbers and sent the heels grumbling to the back.
The takeaway is that AAA is running a clear women's faction war, with the babyface side currently on top and Reina de Reinas champion Flammer repeatedly coming up short against La Catalina. That unresolved thread is the one to track.
The trios match carries a sad footnote. Octagon Jr. scored the fall for his team here, slamming Histeria off the top, but the episode was taped before Noche de los Grandes, where he suffered a serious neck
