AAA-WWE Worlds Collide II: Full & Final Card

Off the heels of TripleManía XXXIII last month, Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide and WWE will host their second joint show, Worlds Collide II, tonight, at The Pavilion at the Thomas & Mack Center, in Las Vegas, immediately after "WWE SmackDown," at 10 p.m. EST, on WWE's YouTube channel (with English and Spanish commentary available).

They always say "third lucks a charm," but for the current WWE Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio, maybe it'll only take two, as tonight might mark a new era should Mysterio clutch the AAA Mega Championship after his second chase at the belt against its current champion, El Hijo del Vikingo. At TripleManía XXXIII, "Dirty Dom" was moments away from claiming the gold, when his bitter foe, "The Phenomenal One" AJ Styles, ripped the opportunity away from him, allowing Vikingo to retain. Could "Sin City" provide the roll of good luck Mysterio needs to cement his self-proclaimed nickname as the "King of the Luchadores?"

Speaking of a man who's already proven he's beyond the moniker that Mysterio claims to be, Penta, will return to AAA for the first time since the acquisition between these two companies. Penta, who is a former AAA Latin American, World Mix Tag Team, and three-time World Tag Team Champion (two of those three reigns were with his brother, Rey Fenix), was last seen in AAA in April of 2024, where he teamed with Psycho Clown and Pagano in a six-man tag team match.

Additional Title Defenses, Mixed Tag Team, and Number One Contender's Matches Scheduled

Two other title matches are scheduled for tonight's festivities, including Psycho Clown and Pagano defending their AAA World Tag Team Championships against who many argue are on the Mount Rushmore of greatest tag teams in WWE history: The New Day. While there's been a lot of grieving by Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods as of late on the state of the tag team division, their charisma might change the course and direction of the tag team division both in AAA and WWE if they were to capture these titles for the first time in their careers. If the cards do fall in their favor, it would be the 14th time the New Day have held gold in their careers.

Another can't miss title defense will come in the form of the AAA Latin American Championship, as El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. will put his title on the line against some of "WWE NXT" and main roster starlight's: Ethan Page, JD McDonagh, and Dragon Lee. Page, who sports the "All Ego" nickname as a way of life, has been prosperous in his current run as the NXT North American Champion. Why not conquer another apex prize within North America? Meanwhile, Lee, who was also once a North American Champion himself, would love to add another notch to his collection of belts he's won both in AAA and WWE. As for McDonagh, who is currently in his second-reign as one-half of the WWE World Tag Team Champions, knows how to make history, as he's the only man in WWE who carried the longest reign as the WWE NXT Cruiserweight Champion. Could he and Mysterio rack up to more pieces of gold for The Judgment Day tonight?

McDonagh's partner, Finn Balor, will put out all the stops by listening to the demon on his shoulder, well, on his hand in this matter, Demonito (the puppet version of his Demon alter-ego), as he and Roxanne Perez will compete in a mixed tag team match against Mr. Iguana and Lola Vice. Can "La Yesca" (Mr. Iguana's puppet) overcome her fear of Demonito, and help her team win? Also in the women's division, Faby Apache will go toe-to-toe against Natalya, who's embracing a new persona as a bare bone bada**, which remains a topic of interest within the squared circle as of late. These two will compete in a number one contender's match for another shot at the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship. Lastly, fans will get to see additional tag team action as Niño Hamburguesa, Octagón Jr., Laredo Kid, and Mascarita Sagrada takes on Cruz Del Toro, Joaquin Wilde, Lince Dorado, and Mini Abismo Negro.
