Monday night in Mexico City was absolutely bananas, man, with Roman Reigns putting his World Heavyweight Championship on the line against hometown hero Penta on Netflix. Everyone was hyped for that blockbuster main event, but honestly, the fireworks kicked off way earlier than anyone expected, and it wasn’t even about a title change.
Rey Mysterio and El Grande Americano Just Flipped Raw Upside Down
Dude, the energy started hot when Rey Mysterio, still rocking a neck brace from that brutal Omos attack at AAA Triplemania, came out to kick off the show. He was the perfect guy to welcome Mexico City to Netflix, and then he threw to a recap of Stephanie Vaquer’s Women’s World Championship win in Chile. When Vaquer joined Rey in the ring, the crowd absolutely erupted, showing so much pride in her winning the title in her home country. But you know how it goes, Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio had to crash the party, drawing a chorus of boos so loud you could barely hear Dirty Dom. Then, just when you thought it couldn’t get any wilder, El Grande Americano, the new AAA Mega Champion after beating Dominik Mysterio just 24 hours earlier, showed up to a deafening pop! That set the stage for a Mixed Tag Team Match, and WWE could not have started the show any hotter for that crowd. It was an A+ opening.
The Judgment Day Just Wrecked The Hottest Match in Mexico City
So, the Mixed Tag Team Match went down with El Grande Americano and Stephanie Vaquer facing off against Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio. This match was a full-on sprint, high-energy from the jump, with both Americano and Vaquer feeding off the audience like crazy, playing to every single reaction. La Primera even hit a 619 on both opponents! They had the babyfaces setting up for the win, the crowd was eating it up, and it felt like Americano and Vaquer were about to get a huge win in Mexico City. But of course, The Judgment Day, Roxanne Perez, Raquel Rodriguez, and JD McDonagh had to show up, turning the numbers game in the heels’ favor and ruining what was shaping up to be an epic finish. The result? Americano and Vaquer won via disqualification. While the match itself was an A grade for personality and action, it’s kinda frustrating they went with a non-finish just to rebuild heat for a faction that doesn’t usually need it. Would it have hurt for the good guys to just have one more triumphant night in Mexico City?
Man, what a way to kick off Raw! We’re still waiting for the full scoop on that Roman Reigns vs. Penta World Heavyweight Championship match, but this opening definitely left us with some questions. What’s next for The Judgment Day after pulling that stunt? And will Americano and Vaquer get their true win?
