El Grande Americano absolutely stunned Mexico City on Sunday night, defeating Dominik Mysterio in the main event of Night 2 of Triplemanía 34 to seize the AAA Mega Championship. This wasn’t just another win, this was Americano’s biggest victory yet, putting an emphatic exclamation point on what’s been an incredible year for one of lucha libre’s biggest emerging stars.
The Road to a Mega Crown
Americano has been on a tear, establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with over the past year. Back in March, at Rey de Reyes, he earned himself a future shot at the AAA Mega Championship. But before he could even think about taking down Dom, he had to settle some serious unfinished business. That meant concluding a heated rivalry with the original El Grande Americano. That whole saga culminated in an epic mask versus mask match at Noche de Los Grandes in May. Grande won what everyone agreed was one of the best matches of the entire year in pro wrestling, and the mask came off to reveal Chade Gable. Once that massive hurdle was cleared, his focus locked onto Dominik Mysterio and that coveted AAA Mega Championship.
Dirty Dom’s Downfall
The feud with Mysterio? It got personal, fast. Dom was once a crowd favorite in Mexico, but that changed dramatically. Remember that tag team match against Los Perros del Mal? Dominik straight-up turned his back on Grande, leaving him outnumbered and vulnerable. Then, to stack the deck even more, Dom brought in Dorian Roldán and Omos. Talk about dirty tactics! It turned the crowd firmly against Mysterio, making him the clear heel as Americano totally won over the fans in the months leading up to Triplemanía. Dom walked into Triplemanía with a yearlong title reign, and you know he was willing to do literally anything to keep that belt. But none of his schemes or dirty play could stop the inevitable. Sunday belonged to El Grande Americano, and the Mexico City fans absolutely erupted in delight.
What a night! This isn’t just a win, it’s a declaration. El Grande Americano is officially at the top of the mountain. What does this mean for the AAA Mega Championship scene moving forward? You know we’ll be watching every single move.
