AAA Mega title

El Grande Americano won the AAA Mega Championship last night at Triplemania 34: Mexico City in front of a sold-out crowd at Arena CDMX.

This is Americano’s first singles major title, even for the man behind the mask, Ludwig Kaiser.

Americano had to overcome interference from Omos, Dorian Roldan, JD McDonagh, and even former WWE Women’s World champion Liv Morgan, who all tried to help Dominik Mysterio retain the title.

But it was WWE Hall of Famer and AAA General Manager Rey Mysterio who helped end his son’s reign after he came out in a referee t-shirt to make the decisive three-count after Americano hit Dom with a running headbutt.

The super-over Americano was cheered by the Mexican crowd and the whole arena sang Cielito Lindo with a mariachi band playing to finish off the event.

Dominik Mysterio held on to the title for 366 days, winning it from El Hijo del Vikingo on September 12, 2025 at Worlds Collide: Las Vegas.

Chile sees first major WWE world title change at a house show since 1994

WWE Live

A rare event took place last night in Santiago, Chile, as a major WWE world title swapped hands at a non-televised live event.

While other titles, such as Intercontinental, United States, Tag Team, and the now-retired 24/7, have changed hands at house shows, it’s very, very rare that major single titles do so without the bright lights of live television broadcasts.

Stephanie Vaquer defeated Liv Morgan for the WWE Women’s World title yesterday, marking the first time that the women’s title officially changed hands at a house show.

It’s also the first time since November 1994 when a major title match went the other way, with then champion Bob Backlund losing the WWE Championship to Diesel at a house show in Madison Square in eight seconds.

Stephanie Vaquer regained the WWE Women’s World title at a non-televised live event in her home country of Chile yesterday night.

The crowd at the Movistar Arena in Santiago absolutely lost their marbles after the three-count, certainly giving Vaquer a night to remember for the rest of her career.

The match ended after the Chilean hit her Vaquer Inferno top rope finisher, with special guest referee Becky Lynch doing the count. This bout was announced by Raw General Manager Adam Pearce the night before and follows the match the two had this past Monday on Raw where interference from Judgment Day helped Morgan retain the title.

After the finish while both women were still down, Morgan subtly wrapped her hand around Vaquer and hugged her and Vaquer tapped on her shoulder. Becky Lynch handed the title to Vaquer and she celebrated with the Chilean flag as well. Bayley, Sol Ruca, and Iyo Sky also came out to celebrate with Vaquer, with Sky lifting her up on her shoulders. Of course, WWE cameras were on hand the capture the beautiful moment!

Morgan will busy filming a movie which probably factored into the decision to do the title swap.

“I lost. 67 day undisputed title run. At 47. I’d like to say that I did it on purpose for my boy @wwejevonevans but nobody wants to lose,” Punk wrote.

“Here’s the thing: Winners lose way more than losers do. I don’t have to try again. I get to try again. I didn’t have to come to Mexico. I don’t HAVE to do house shows. I get to. I get to wrestle in front of the best fans in the world in Guadalajara, Monterrey and Mexico City. I don’t have to get the title back. I get to try to get the title back. I don’t HAVE to come to work. I GET TO COME TO WORK. So I’ll SEE you all in Corpus Christi. I will get MY title back. You don’t have to watch. You get to,” he continued.

He signed off his message with “BITW.”

Omos has been reinstated in AAA after he defeated Rey Mysterio in the main event of Triplemania 34: Las Vegas yesterday.

The match had the stipulation that if he lost, he would have been permanently banned from participating in AAA, but a win would secure his spot back on the show.

The Nigerian giant won with a chokeslam, but winning the match was not enough for the former tag team champion. Omos continued to attack the AAA General Manager following the bout and Mysterio even did the stretcher job. Strapped to a stretcher board, Omos returned and removed all the hardware from the announce table, picked Mysterio up in a chokeslam while still attached to the stretcher, and chokeslammed him through the table.

AAA Mega champion Dominik Mysterio and Dorian Roldan looked in disbelief at ringside as a strapped Mysterio was laid out, with the broadcast ending showing a satisfied Omos.

Sami Zayn wins the WWE Championship in shock ending on Smackdown in Mexico City

A shock result in Mexico City saw Sami Zayn defeat CM Punk for the WWE Championship last night on Smackdown, kicking off his second title reign, one which he hopes lasts longer than the previous.

In the main event of Smackdown, Punk had to fend off interference from Candace LeRae and Johnny Gargano before Kevin Owens put the final nail in the coffin by mistake…or not!

During the closing stages of the match, LeRae had the referee distracted as Zayn tapped out to the Anaconda Vice. When Punk let go to go get the referee, Gargano came in and tried to hit Punk with the title, only to get a GTS for his trouble. Zayn was about to get the title himself but Kevin Owens slid in the ring and grabbed the belt.

With Zayn positioned in between Punk and Owens, Owens went for the kill shot on Zayn but he ducked, and planted Punk instead. Owens acted shocked first, but then smirked, and turned around to hit Zayn with the title, only to get low-blowed.

Punk at this point was in the corner and Zayn followed with the Helluva Kick and the cover, with a new champion crowned at Arena CDMX.

The X account @WrestleVotes is reporting that at least three teams from the NFL have inquired to explore partnerships with Danhausen through WWE.

The proposed partnerships come after the successful Danhausen x NY Nicks deal which included merchandise that sold beyond expectations.

Danhausen had “uncursed” the NBA team during the season and they won their first NBA title after 53 years.

After a horrendous start with a forgettable debut at Elimination Chamber in February, Danhausen and WWE turned it around, making him one of the biggest merchandise sellers in all of WWE for 2026.
