AAA’s Rey de Reyes is back in 2026 and takes place in Pueblo, Mexico and it will be a three-week event! Tonight is week one and we have a stacked card of three championship matches as well as the finals for the Rey de Reyes tournament!
We get an opening package for tonight’s big night. Rey Fenix comes out to a huge pop to open the show. Fenix is blessed to back in Puebla with the crowd, and hypes up tonight’s Rey de Reyes 2026 event. He calls tonight a special night with surprises and it’s a special night for lucha libre and la raza. Fenix introduces his brother, who is also his favorite wrestler, and the new WWE Intercontinental Champion – Penta El Cero Miedo!
Out comes the first-ever Mexican-born WWE Intercontinental Champion to the ring to a thunderous applause, and the crowd chants “Cero Miedo!” Penta tells Fenix not to leave the ring and stay with him, and the crowd chants “Lucha Brothers!” Penta tells his brother to remember that they dreamed of being part of WWE, and they were supposed to reunite in AAA but he hurt his shoulder, so Rey Mysterio had to take his place. Penta says since they are together, maybe the crowd wants to see the Lucha Bros again. He announces that next time they return to Puebla that they come back as a team, and the crowd deserves to see them team up once again. Penta turns his attention to the Rey de Reyes tradition that’s been in Mexico for 29 years, and the four competitors who will have the opportunity to battle for the sword in the finals of the tournament. He says Intercontinental Championship represents the hard work that people go through every single day, and he wants to make the title important and defend it on Monday Night Raw and here in Mexico! Penta heads back up the ramp with the title and the crowd chanting his name.
Lady Flammer heads out for the first title match of the night, and it’s an open challenge to any woman on Raw or SmackDown! Who will answer the challenge?? Will Flammer lose the title after 945 days, one day away from breaking the record??
